Top musical artists create lively atmosphere at the 25th Starry Night at Lake Wörthersee » Leadersnet

The first “Starry Night on Lake Wörthersee” took place in July 2000. At that time there were stars such as Udo Jürgens, Eros Ramazzotti, Paul Young, Helene Fischer and many others. This year, 25 years later, on July 13, international and national musicians from the world of pop and world music gathered against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful lakes in Austria to perform their songs live – including Christina Stürmer, Melissa Nasschenung, Reinhard Fenderich, Marianne Rosenberg, Andreas Gabalier, etc. The event was moderated by Barbara Schönberger and Hans Siegel.

Visual taste

In the run-up to the event, the documentary “Starnacht am Wörthersee – The best of the 25th anniversary” was screened, capturing the best moments and biggest hits from the past 24 shows. In addition, Star Night was also broadcast as a Eurovision show outside of Austria by MDR, HR, NDR and SWR and streamed live by ORF On – the latter also making Star Night available as a video on demand.

Party atmosphere the day before

The party mood on Lake Wörthersee was already heating up on Friday. Not only did city mayor Christian Schieder attend the rehearsal and present IP-Media with an anniversary cake. The invited celebrities and musicians were also loaded onto three ships by IP Media owner Martin Ramusch and Intersport chairman Nils Klingohr, where the Seitenblicke party was waiting. Leberkas-Pepi took care of everyone's physical health that evening. Vienna mayor Maria Schiedei took charge of the catering with his daughter and offered the guests truffle liver cheese and a version of hot pepper. Soft refreshments were also available in the many bars on site.
