Count Almaviva is walking on suitors' feet. He would like to win the heart of the self-confident Rosina if there wasn't one problem: her money-hungry guardian Dr Bartolo has his own plans to marry his wealthy protégé and locks Rosina up. Good advice is expensive and Figaro, the enterprising barber of Seville, is happy to pay for it in hard cash. Figaro uses ludicrous schemes to trick the lovers through all the entanglements into marital bliss. Rossini's turbulent endurance race to the dream wedding is a true opera classic, also thanks to the famous "Figaro" aria.

Il barbiere di Siviglia

German Oper am Rhein

Have you ever heard a nightingale sing? The Emperor of China never has! When he hears the nightingale sing for the first time, he is amazed by its wonderful song, which had brought so many people from far and wide and which he had never even known about until then. "And the nightingale sang so beautifully that tears came to the emperor's eyes." So moved, he lets the nightingale sing day and night for him and his people. Until he is given an artfully crafted, artificial nightingale that can sing tirelessly, without a break. Replaced by a fake nightingale, the real nightingale flees, leaving the emperor and his people behind - for now. With enchanting and colorful music, this is a story about the things that make our lives rich, without any money or gold.
