This concert is a wish come true for Helene Fischer: the singer presents her personal selection of German and international Christmas songs in the atmospheric ballroom of the Vienna Hofburg. Her guests and partners are the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from London, one of the world's most renowned symphony orchestras, and the Vienna Boys' Choir, among others. It took two years to prepare this concert. The program includes classics such as "Merry Christmas Everywhere", "Ave Maria", "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" and "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht". There are also contemporary songs such as "In der Weihnachtsbäckerei", "Last Christmas" and "The Power Of Love".
