Against the backdrop of the Babylonian exile of the Israelites the story of the Babylonian king Nabucco is told, who is only purified by a brief loss of power and gives freedom to the Hebrews he has imprisoned. On the other hand, it is also about the private conflict between Nabucco's daughters: while Abigaille wants to ascend to the throne at all costs, Fenena has converted to the Jewish faith out of love for the Israelite Ismaele.

Die Fledermaus

Semperoper Dresden

Can you separate the good from the evil in people? The ambitious doctor Henry Jekyll has set himself the task of doing just that. He is not allowed to research this on patients, so he simply carries out the experiment on himself. It works: Dr. Jekyll creates his evil alter ego Edward Hyde - but he increasingly loses control over him. Frank Wildhorn transforms the dramatic horror story of a split personality in a relentless battle with himself, based on the novella by Robert Louis Stevenson, into a gripping musical that, with Alexander Klaws in the lead role, shakes up the stage of the Darmstadt State Theater and all moral platitudes.

After 15 years, the barber Benjamin Barker returns to his old home in London. He believes his wife to be dead, and his daughter is now in the care of his arch-enemy Judge Turpin, who was responsible for Barker's decades-long banishment. Under the name Sweeney Todd, the barber embarks on a brutal campaign of revenge by slitting the throats of all his customers with a razor blade. He is assisted by the baker Mrs. Lovett, who processes the human remains into a new meat pie ingredient, which soon helps her business to boom. But the bloodlust that Todd becomes more and more addicted to has fatal consequences...

Johann Strauss’s »Die Fledermaus« from 1874 is a masterpiece of Viennese operetta: In order to take revenge on his friend Eisenstein, Dr. Falke (alias Die Fledermaus) stages a game of mistaken identities at Prince Orlofsky’s ball, where the guests include a Marquis and a Chevalier, a Hungarian countess and budding artists. However, nobody is who they claim to be. The masquerade and trickery end with the entire group of partygoers in prison. When the masks finally fall and extramarital shenanigans come to light, Falke’s revenge is complete. This production by Günter Krämer has been delighting Semperoper audiences since 2003 with classic numbers such as the Watch Duet, the Czárdás or Adele’s »Mein Herr Marquis« as well as the witty dialogue, updated with some amusing contemporary references. With diamond-sharp irony amidst the champagne glasses, »Die Fledermaus« is a great evening’s entertainment… and not just at the New Year!

Sparkling irony combined with sparkling champagne mood to the sounds of waltzes.
