Every child knows about pirates, but who actually are the Pirates of Penzance ? In Gilbert and Sullivan's classic of the English operetta repertoire, the pirate apprentice Frederic dreams of finally leading a decent life because he only ended up in a pirate apprenticeship instead of a private apprenticeship because of a hearing problem with his nanny Ruth. When Frederic meets the lovely daughters of a major general - whose comprehensive education is unfortunately sparse in the military sector - and falls in love with the loveliest of them, the humorous chaos begins: torn between his sense of duty and Due to his overwhelming aversion to being a pirate, Frederic and Ruth, the band of pirates who want to get married under their victorious pirate king on the hunt for the major general's daughters and a group of police officers unwilling to fight, slide through the events to ravishingly comic music, in which the absurd is declined until one faces it Laughing results without a fight.
An absolute must, not just for fans of British humor!

Things Have Changed

The librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal puts these words into the field marshal’s mouth. She knows that the affair with her young lover Octavian is finally over. So she proposes him to her cousin Baron Ochs as a messenger of love, a Rosenkavalier. Ochs has his eye on Sophie, the daughter of an up-and-coming middle-class family. His goal is to rejuvenate the old nobility with new money. What Ochs doesn't expect: Octavian falls in love with Sophie and thwarts his plans.
It is a lively rococo fantasy that Richard Strauss creates with Der Rosenkavalier and in the framework of which he creates a social study about old nobility, new money and class arrogance.

With the production of Strauss' Rosenkavalier, the internationally renowned director Georg Schmiedleitner is presenting himself for the first time in Mainz. Known for his gripping access to material and fine direction of characters, he penetrates the deepest depths of opera characters. In Strauss's masterpiece he will look behind the facade of lavish sounds and rococo gestures.
