Things are tense at Hansel and Gretel's house: Dad has lost his job, their bank account is as empty as the fridge, and a family vacation is out of the question… Over something trivial, their father snaps and throws his children out of the apartment. Although he immediately regrets his outburst, Hansel and Gretel are now on their own. An adventurous journey through the urban jungle begins for them. Along the way, the two encounter strange characters, dangerous temptations, and new challenges. They can't find their way home and eventually end up in a truly devilish witch's house. A suspiciously friendly couple lives there, completely devoted to the ideal of eternal youth and beauty. But behind the shining facade lurks a dark secret: The couple has nothing good in mind for children…

“I fear nothing: Cupid and Fortuna are fighting for me.”

The ambitious Poppea is having an affair with the Roman Emperor Nero. She now gives her former lover Ottone the cold shoulder. When Nero decides to abandon his wife Ottavia in order to make Poppea empress, a rift develops between him and Seneca, his teacher and advisor. Seneca pays for his criticism of the tyrant's actions with his life. Ottavia then forces the distraught Ottone to attempt to assassinate Poppea. But Cupid intervenes…

The Coronation of Poppea

M*Halle, Schweri

Revenge is a dish served cold."

Benjamin Barker returns to London after years of exile – with a new name and sinister intentions. As Sweeney Todd, he opens a barbershop above Mrs. Lovett's bakery on Fleet Street. He wants revenge on Judge Turpin, who once unjustly deported him to Australia in order to steal his wife and daughter. Todd's razor is meant to send Turpin to his doom. The macabre business model he devises with Mrs. Lovett suits him perfectly: a fresh shave is half the battle. The customers who take a seat in Todd's barber's chair end up one floor below – in Mrs. Lovett's meat pies, which soon become incredibly popular. While beggars wander the streets outside and sailors sing of love, madness takes hold of the barber – and sweeps everything away with it.
