Advent Awe in Berlin: Art, Ballet, and Brunch for a Festive Sunday!

Welcome back, listeners, to Things to do in Berlin! I'm your host, Ollie Bennett, and let me tell you, today is Sunday, November 30th, 2025, and this city is absolutely buzzing with energy! We're smack dab in the middle of the Advent season, so Berlin's got that magical, festive vibe happening. The weather's crisp and perfect for exploring, so let's dive into what's making this Sunday absolutely legendary!

First up, if you're a culture vulture like me, you've got to check out the Titanic exhibition at Filmpark Babelsberg. Tickets start at just 29 euros, and here's the wild part—they've got actual original artifacts recovered from the wreck! I'm talking authentic pieces from one of history's most jaw-dropping maritime disasters. It's like stepping into a time capsule, but way more dramatic!

Now, if you're feeling fancy and fancy happens to include watching world-class dancers absolutely destroy the stage, Der Nussknacker with the Imperial Ballet and Live Orchestra from the State Ballet of Georgia is performing at 3 PM. These performers pull off athletic feats that would make Olympic gymnasts jealous. Seriously, the flexibility and strength required for ballet is basically a sport, and I'm not even sorry for that take!

For something a bit more avant-garde, RE:IMAGINE: THE RED HOUSE is happening at the Maxim Gorki Theater at noon. This is the kind of thought-provoking, cutting-edge performance art that makes you question everything you thought you knew about theater.

Speaking of performances, the legendary Friedrichstadt-Palast is hosting Blinded by Delight, their grand show at 3:30 PM. This is on the world's largest theater stage, folks. If you want spectacle with a capital S, this is your Sunday mission!

And here's a fun one for music lovers—Christian Löffler and CLICK'N DRUMS are performing at the Konzerthaus Berlin from 11 AM to 12:15 PM. It's an 11 AM concert, which is honestly refreshing because who doesn't love an early arts experience followed by a leisurely brunch?

Here's your local tip: Berlin's got this incredible tradition of combining art and food culture. After you hit up any of these events, head to one of the city's restored chapel cafés for some stellar brunch. The Berliners are obsessed with turning historic spaces into gathering spots, and it's absolutely brilliant!

Now, don't sleep on tomorrow because Berlin's got even more madness coming your way, and trust me, you won't want to miss what we've got planned!
