The new programme »Opium – Light and Shadow of the Twenties« by the Berlin-based dream duo Eckart Runge and Jaques Ammon reflects the creative, decadent and frivolous 1920s - a brief era of awakening, turmoil, sensuality, seduction and ecstasy, but also a time with a premonition of impending catastrophe. »Opium« features music by Korngold, Mahler, Debussy, Bloch, Hindemith, Gershwin and others. The two artists have also arranged film music by Tom Tykwer and Johnny Klimek for their own ensemble and recorded it for several seasons of the internationally successful TV series »Babylon Berlin«.
