Anuschka Miccoli brings Schlager to the open-air: Mallorca Kino closes at the Motorworld with "No Hit Wonder"

On Friday, June 26: Live performance before the film, doors open at 6 PM, film starts late in the evening

When the heat of the day gives way to a mild evening and the Motorworld Mallorca: A new mobility experience center on the island on the outskirts of Palma slowly lights up its halls and car park, something will happen that you don't experience here every day: schlager meets Cinema Under the Starry Sky: Palma's Open-Air Festival Starts on August 11. On June 26 the Mallorca Kino will stop by this unusual venue and combine a live performance with a screening of the recent German tragicomedy "No Hit Wonder."

The gates open at 6 PM. Hitradio Mallorca and DJ Las Vegas will provide music from the moment of entry, before singer Anuschka Miccoli takes the stage at 9 PM. Miccoli, who comes from the Stuttgart region and has Italian roots, has attracted attention in recent years as a curvy model and singer. Music has been part of her life since childhood; her father, Toni Miccoli, is also active in music. Miccoli has been writing her own songs since around 2013 and has worked with producer Florian Glötzl since 2016. She describes her music as warm, direct and affirmative — qualities that fit well with a balmy summer night and an audience looking for light entertainment.

The live performance is part of the opening program. The film screening begins at 10 PM: "No Hit Wonder" tells the story of a former pop star whose career stalls after a single big hit. The protagonist experiences a dramatic downfall that ends with a hospital ward and an unexpected new beginning. Nora Tschirner appears in the story as Dr. Lissi Waldstett, a researcher who works with an unusual approach: group and choir singing as a possible way to stabilize people with depression. What starts as an obligation becomes for the characters a surprising form of community that allows for both humor and more serious tones.

The film also takes aim at aspects of modern media society: reality formats, viral clips and the pressure to always remain visible. At the same time the story touches the topic of mental health — the film does not shy away from combining serious situations with lighter moments without trivializing them. For viewers who are looking for both entertainment and food for thought, the Summer Cinema in Palma: "Cinema a la Fresca" Starts – 15 Films Until September 4 is well matched.

Practical information about the event: Tickets are available in advance. A standard seat costs €27.50, comfort seats including a blanket are €39.50, each plus fees. Those who still prefer a printed ticket can find advance-sale outlets on the island: branches of the drugstore chain Müller, the German supermarket SAM in Can Pastilla, the Bodega Son Juliana in Santa Eugenia, Kreißl’s Food Corner in "The Circle" in Son Bugadelles and Dady’s Original Brat- und Currywürste at the entrance of the Carrefour in FAN Mallorca Shopping carry hard tickets.

Why such an evening is good for Mallorca is easy to explain: events like these enliven places that are otherwise reserved for technology fans and car meets and create space for cultural encounters. If you've had a long walk along the Passeig Mallorca after work or heat, you can let the evening wind down here in an unusual setting — with schlager, pop and a film that wants to be more than just background noise. Small things like the smell of popcorn between oil and engine scents, the laughter of people enjoying a shared moment, or the distant rumble of a motorcycle make such evenings local and lively.

A tip for visitors: evenings outdoors can be cooler than expected — a light blanket or jacket is advisable, especially for the comfort seats that already include blankets. Arrive early, listen to the DJ, take time for a walk around the grounds and enjoy the mix of live music and cinema. Encounters like these are small but fine impulses for the island's cultural scene: they bring people together, create topics for conversation and show that culture can work outside classic venues.

If you are interested, secure tickets in good time. An open-air evening with schlager, DJ sets and a tragicomic film screening is an invitation to everyone who wants to combine vacation, neighbors and being at home with a shared experience — and who knows, perhaps some will discover new music or a film that lingers long after the night.
