The brave knight Amadis is held responsible for the disappearance of the brother of Arcabonne and Arcalaus. The two use their magical powers and mobilize the demonic underworld to lure Amadis into their realm and defeat him once and for all. Suddenly, nothing is as it seems: Amadis is abandoned in the forest by his beloved Princess Oriane and held captive in Arcalau's secret laboratory. All seems lost... but fortunately the powers of heaven have something to say about it.

Amadis, the Knight

Oper Leipzig

Rising from raging, fierce tempests of the sea stands a triumphant hero: Otello! The illustrious general is in love with the enchanting Desdemona. Against her father's will, she frees herself from the golden cage and now loves the man who dazzles so brilliantly amidst the splendor of society, yet remains so distant. As Jago takes the stage and plants seeds of doubt, jealousy begins to grow in Otello.

Otello

What is really important? For Jacob it is shoes, because he doesn't have any. And the rescued fish actually grants him his wish. But Jacob's parents believe he could have wished for something more substantial. And so Jacob returns to call the fish. The fish fulfils every wish, but the parents are never satisfied. So Jacob has to return to the sea again and again. But the sea becomes fiercer and fiercer and the fish thinner and thinner. This profound fairy tale adaptation for a mezzo-soprano and percussion is one of the most successful and most performed children's operas of recent years.

»Der Rosenkavalier« is a “literature opera”, a disguise comedy, a trial about the transience of time, about holding on and letting go. A work of modern times, which looks back to a completely different time, a homage to an invented past: at times melancholic-lyrical, at times in a waltz beat, at times in a comic parlando
