Christmas is all about singing and caroling, it has to be! And when in doubt, it's better to let the professionals do it: MAYBEBOP provide entertaining vocal entertainment at Christmas time. Subtle humor, sophisticated vocal movements, smooth choreography, tasteful lighting, video and sound staging - "Schöner Schein" is convincing on all levels.
The four singers from Hanover, Berlin, Hamburg and Weimar combine pointedly lyricized original compositions with traditional German and international Christmas songs and debunk common clichés by surprising each song anew in the usual refined MAYBEBOP guise. Despite all the tinsel, the classic MAYBEBOP virtues always shine through the Christmas bliss: highly virtuosic vocals and lyrics that combine a clear political stance and subtle humor at an unrivalled level. And if the quartet wants to touch us by appealing to our Christmas longings hidden deep beneath the tinsel, they manage to do this seemingly effortlessly and in a truly appealing way.
So "Schöner Schein" is actually more than just a MAYBEBOP concert: it's a MAYBEBOP Christmas concert. The best of both worlds! Rejoice, rejoice!
