Andreas Beinhauer takes on the role of the witty bird seller, who guides the audience through Mozart's most famous opera in this version. In Foyer 2 of the opera house, the children are right in the thick of the action and are drawn into the performance by Papageno – whether as a tree or a snake, forest animals, or Papagena and Papageno's children. It's a vibrant and colorful spectacle, musically superb. A wonderful opportunity for preschool children to experience musical theatre for the first time.

Papageno plays the magic flute

Bühnen Halle

The story of a hungry mouse who sneaks into a chef's kitchen invites children aged 3 and up to participate and sing along. Also featured are an elf who speaks with violin notes and a keen assistant who makes all the kitchen objects ring. Only together with them and the children does the mouse finally manage to soften the chef's heart.

Kitchen Opera

Halle Opera House

A festively decorated hall, round tables with excellent views of the orchestra and singers, freshly brewed coffee, and delicious cake: the Pavilion Concerts invite you to a special musical experience again this season. Look forward to lively waltzes, Nordic melodies, springtime tunes, and the magic of operetta – charming, entertaining, and always atmospheric. A musical afternoon for connoisseurs!
