Canceled: Christoph Schobesberger with 'The Life of Frank Sinatra' at the Stadttheater Fürth

Sinatra Feeling in Fürth - a planned gala evening that made history

Originally, Christoph Schobesberger was set to conclude the year at the Stadttheater Fürth with his Sinatra homage The Life of Frank Sinatra on December 30, 2025, with great swing, elegant orchestration, and a strong stage performance. However, following the unexpected death of the artist, this evening had to be canceled and replaced with an alternative program. The following information contextualizes the concert experience and provides practical advice for ticket holders.

Sound of Las Vegas - the idea of the evening

A revue-like concert dramaturgy with original arrangements in the style of Nelson Riddle, Count Basie, and Quincy Jones was planned: big band sounds, pointed moderation, intimate ballads, and iconic standards such as My Way, Strangers in the Night, or New York, New York. Schobesberger's timbre and phrasing aimed for text-accurate interpretation, precise synchronization of voice and ensemble, and a live atmosphere that traced Sinatra's stage charisma.

Stagecraft and storytelling

Schobesberger combined singing and acting: flowing conducting from the singer's podium, dramatic arcs, anecdotes from Sinatra's career, along with elegant transitions between swing, ballad, and showstopper. The concert experience relied on dynamic orchestration, finely balanced sound in the auditorium, and lighting that ranged from club glow to grand gala – an evening for fine details and audience mood.

Current status: Performance canceled - alternative program established

The Stadttheater Fürth has officially canceled the Sinatra performance for December 30 and 31, 2025. Instead, the revue Berlin, you cool pig will take place on both dates. Tickets already purchased can be returned or exchanged for the new production according to theater information; holders of original tickets will not incur any additional cost.

Service for your theater visit

Address of the venue: Königstraße 116, 90762 Fürth. The Main House offers wheelchair-accessible seats and step-free access to the auditorium. An induction system supports in the auditorium (rows 1–10). Box office: usually opens one hour before the performance begins. Access via U-Bahn Line U1 to the Rathaus station as well as bus lines 173, 174, 177, 178, 179 to the Stadttheater stop.

Conclusion

The planned Sinatra evening would have offered a brilliant year-end with great big band energy, careful orchestration, and approachable moderation. After the cancellation, the Stadttheater offers a high-quality alternative with the Berlin revue. Ticket holders should clarify the exchange or return promptly – and still experience the cultural transition of the year live.
