Where culture pops the corks on New Year’s Eve

It is one of the most important rough nights that our customs calendar knows. To ensure that today’s New Year’s Eve program runs smoothly, the OÖN culture editors have tips for late and spontaneous planners.

They include cinema premieres, stage art and concerts, take New Year’s Day with them and are also intended to help those who want to enjoy culture from the couch at the turn of the year. Because if you lose your bearings on the days between the years, you can reflect on the traditional beat that television reliably sets. In Austria there is no waiting for midnight without Karl Merkatz as Edmund “Mundl” Sackbauer.

Today’s repetition of the cult episode “Turn of the Year” (10:25 p.m., ORF 1) with a legendary lost New Year’s Eve rocket is the first after the death of 92-year-old Merkatz on December 4th. The always boozy sketch “Dinner for One” follows at 11:20 p.m. “Same procedure as every year!” That’s also what it says on 3sat, where big names in the music scene come and go in “Pop Around the Clock” – from the Rolling Stones to Jennifer Lopez.

December 31 also offers plenty of TV entertainment for fans of classical music. On ORF III (8.15 p.m.) the operetta classic “Die Fledermaus” can be seen live with a time delay from the Vienna Volksoper with soprano Annette Dasch. The Berlin Philharmonic will play live on Arte (6.35 p.m.), with star tenor Jonas Kaufmann singing – voices to glide smoothly into the new year.

New Year’s preview

A film that will probably be heard a lot more in the Oscar race is being screened today by OÖN in selected cinemas as a New Year’s Eve preview: “The Banshees of the Inisherin”, a top-class friendship drama with Hollywood star Colin Farrell (“The Batman”).

Incidentally, there are two techniques for snapping: either the sound is produced by all the snappers together (the “Posch”) or in opposite directions (the “Austerne” – “out of line”).
