A grumpy miser, three spirits, and a chance
On Christmas Eve in Victorian London, the stingy and hard-hearted businessman Ebenezer Scrooge once again rejects his nephew’s invitation to Christmas dinner, mistreats his employee, and withholds donations from the orphanage. In his world, money has long triumphed over humanity. On the magical night before Christmas, however, he receives an unexpected visit from the ghost of his deceased business partner Marley, who shows him the consequences of his miserly lifestyle. Shortly after, three spirits appear and take him on a journey through past, present, and future Christmases. Will Scrooge succeed in changing his fate and that of those around him for the better?

MuseumsQuartier Vienna
The Museumsquartier (MQ) is an area of 9 ha (22 acres) in the 7th district of the city of Vienna, Austria.
The Museumsquartier contains Baroque buildings as well as Modern architecture by the architects Laurids and Manfred Ortner (Ortner & Ortner Baukunst). The renovation of the former court stables began in April 1998. Three years later, the Museumsquartier opened in two stages (June and September 2001).
The MQ is home to a range of installations from large art museums like the Leopold Museum and the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna) to contemporary exhibition spaces like the Kunsthalle Wien and festivals like the Wiener Festwochen, an annual summer event that is headquartered in the MuseumsQuartier Wien.
