4. The Marriage of Figaro
A sophisticated story and timelessly good music are the best prerequisites for a successful comedy. With "The Marriage of Figaro", Mozart opened his trio of legendary master operas, all of which the composer wrote based on librettos by the Italian Lorenzo Da Ponte. The piece presents an everlasting love story, a playful and biting social satire - and yet all these descriptions fall short. Because "Figaro" is above all: a work of upheaval, a piece of stormy pressure for personal recognition and thus at the same time a timeless symbol of the individual's rebellion against the establishment.

5. Salon Strozzi
She received great enthusiasm for her dazzling, sophisticated music, and yet she performed almost exclusively within her own four walls: Barbara Strozzi, singer and one of the most exciting and productive composers before 1700.

6. King Arthur
A legendary heroine is honored and the State Theater invites you to a round table. Based on the baroque opera "King Arthur" by Henry Purcell, the young choreographer Chris Jäger is developing a modern version of the legendary material about the British King Arthur in an interdisciplinary project of the Hessian State Ballet, Drama and Music Theater. The musical work, which was groundbreaking at the time, to the five-act libretto including prologue by John Dryden, offers plenty of fuel for a spectacle at the end of the season. Big cinema in the small house.

8. The Creation
Franziska Angerer's production of Joseph Haydn's oratorio is all about creating something you can take part in! General Music Director Leo McFall conducts, the Bach Choir Wiesbaden, the State Theater's extra choir, and children and young people from the Evangelical Singing Academy Wiesbaden take part.
