The Sound of James Bond

Licenced to Thrill

Title songs and excerpts from the soundtracks of "Love Greetings from Moscow", "Goldfinger", "Fireball", "You Only Live Twice", "Diamond Fever", "Live and Let Die", "GoldenEye", "Casino Royale", "Skyfall", "No Time to Die", etc.

The actors may change, but the digits 007 have stood for British coolness, cult and thrills for over six decades. Everything about the "James Bond" recipe for success is just right: strong women, fast cars, spectacular stunts and breathtaking chases. In 25 films, the notorious MI6 agent has managed to save mankind from the most menacing villains in the world's most exotic locations and seduce the most exciting women along the way - always with style, charm and a shaken, never stirred martini. Just as unmistakable as James Bond himself is the music that has accompanied him since the beginning. First and foremost the legendary theme tune - a classic among film music intros, which always provides the perfect sound backdrop in the casino or during breathtaking stunts. And just like the license to kill, a new theme song is part of every 007 adventure, with film music greats such as John Barry, David Arnold and Hans Zimmer responsible for these immortal soundtracks. The biggest stars in music history shaped the catalog of iconic Bond songs, including Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, Nancy Sinatra, Tina Turner, Tom Jones and Adele.

After the acclaimed concert in 2025, the music of 007 comes to life again in the Tonhalle Düsseldorf. Presented live by the Neue Philharmonie Westfalen, a band and amplified by two outstanding singers, the legendary Bond songs are given all their radiance and a very special intensity. The evening will be hosted by Dietmar Wunder: for many years, he has lent his unique voice to Daniel Craig as a dubbing actor, making his mark on German-speaking audiences. With charm, humor and exciting anecdotes from the world of 007, he leads the audience through the program and combines the music with stories that not only bring a smile to the faces of Bond fans.
