WinterVarieté by Tristan Brandt before the season starts

HEIDELBERG: "Imagine!": This is the motto under which the "WinterVarieté by Tristan Brandt will start its 8th season 2024/2025 from 21 November. During a press conference, the organisers Riadh Bourkhis and Florian Keutel, together with their culinary ambassador top chef Tristan Brandt, presented their experience concept at the new location of the popular dinner show, Heidelberg's Messplatz, and surprised the audience with further news about the upcoming season.

"The power of imagination is very strong in us humans. We invite our guests into an emotional world of experience in which they can immerse themselves, leave their everyday lives behind and completely surrender to their imagination," said organisers Florian Keutel and Riadh Bourkhis, welcoming the press guests in attendance. Since the end of October, Heidelberg's Messplatz has gradually been transformed into a spectacular winter variety landscape with the grandiose ShowArena at its centre. The numerous media representatives attending today's press conference were able to see this for themselves. An impressive container and tent landscape was created in less than four weeks thanks to the energetic support of over 140 hard-working helpers. "The construction was completed quickly thanks to our dedicated employees," says a delighted Florian Keutel. In addition to the elegantly designed guest areas with a cosy atmosphere, an elaborate backstage area was created for the numerous stage stars such as Chris Stark, Paul Ponce and the unique Vegas Show Ballet. And let's not forget the pop-up gourmet kitchen for patron Tristan Brandt, which presents many challenges, so that the top international chef and his crew can provide culinary delights every evening. "Now only a few details are missing. Then the curtain can finally rise on the 8th season," says Riadh Bourkhis.

Due to the excellent advance booking figures, the WinterVarieté season was extended until 1 February 2025 even before the official start. "We are very proud that there will be a post-season in the 8th season of our dinner show. The extremely positive advance ticket sales figures clearly show that people really appreciate our seasonal experience here in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and are really looking forward to it," say Florian Keutel and Riadh Bourkhis. They are overwhelmed by the great response from the region, but also by the steadily growing demand from beyond the region. Many dates in November and December are already sold out, explained the organisers of WinterVarieté by Tristan Brandt.
