Stars on Stage, a unique photographic exhibition by the world's most respected performance photographer Ralph Larmann, will be on show this summer at Tampere Hall from 30 June to 18 August. This photo exhibition shows 65 photographs, on the one hand of world stars and their concerts, and on the other hand of fascinating productions that freely define a stage.
Ralph Larmann's photographs illustrate the enormous spectrum that the world of staging has developed to date, because the goal in the world of shows is to offer something for everyone: With his extraordinarily broad portfolio, Larmann has captured shows of the most diverse kinds – from the world tours of U2, Ed Sheeran, AC/DC and Justin Timberlake, to the Grand Opening of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and the production of Richard Wagner's Ring at the National Opera in Helsinki. His strong sense of visuality is present in all his works, in concert photos of Finnish and international productions and stars alike!
In these extraordinary times of show business, the exhibition Stars on Stage by Ralph Larmann is today more topical than ever. Larmann’s photo exhibition also illustrates what we are missing this summer, as festivals, concerts and productions of any kind are hardly allowed to take place. His colourful, emotional and atmospheric images take us to the magical moments of concerts and productions that we enjoy so much and that we hope will soon be able to enjoy again in this way.
Performance photography
From the very first hour, it was above all the love of staging music that drove and inspired me to take photographs. And this love has never been lost. On the contrary. It drives me tirelessly.
But the stage of music has expanded considerably since then. For a long time now, a stage is no longer to be found exclusively in a concert, a play or an opera. A building or a whole city can become the stage of a production.
In STARS ON STAGE I present this fascinating variety of productions for the first time in an exhibition with 65 photographs. Immerse yourself, take your time and let the TOTAL MAGIC of every single moment work its magic on you.
