A family celebration is approaching, the guests are invited, all that's missing is the perfect menu. A glance at the old recipe book awakens delicious memories: of steaming Sunday roasts and the aroma of fresh apple pie, of Grandma's secret ingredient and the best snack in the world. In the new program of the successful "Songs from the Past" series, culinary memories are transformed into a musical feast – course by course, song by song. As the stage transforms into a beautifully set table, familiar hits, folk songs, and operetta melodies fill the air, seasoned with stories about food, cooking, and enjoyment. The audience is warmly invited to sing along and relive their own memories of favorite dishes, family rituals, and old celebrations. Look forward to a delightful experience for all the senses!

Sinalco tastes great – and has for 120 years! Germany's first fizzy lemonade was once more famous than Coca-Cola. But the yellow fizzy drink from Detmold is much more than just a fruity sip from its distinctive bottle: Sinalco is a piece of German history.

Nothing is working anymore: On their way to the coronation of Charles X of France, a group of aristocratic travelers from all over Europe find themselves stranded at a luxury hotel near Reims – chaos is inevitable. And so, love affairs, intrigues, jealousy, and the like soon erupt between all parties.

Georges and Albin have been a couple for decades. Georges runs the drag club "La Cage aux Folles," where Albin, as the dazzling drag queen Zaza, enchants audiences night after night. Together, they raised Georges' son, Jean-Michel. Now he wants to marry Anne, the daughter of an arch-conservative politician who has the closure of all clubs on his agenda! The two families are to meet at a dinner party. Fun and disaster are guaranteed when different lifestyles and emotional worlds collide. And, let's just say this: both families have their secrets and quirks. The themes of "love," "tolerance," and "acceptance" are as relevant today as they were at the Broadway premiere forty years ago, because we still don't live in a world where everyone can be whoever and however they want to be.
