These creatures – half-human, half-animal – that move between worlds provide endless fascination. After Peter and the Wolf and Carnival of the Animals, The Little Mermaid is one of the most performed orchestral works for children in the German-speaking world.

But Gomez cannot lie to his beloved Morticia, and so not only this one secret is revealed. A perfectly normal evening ...

But now she is gone: Evita, who died of cancer at the age of 33, has become a legend. The nation is in mourning, and Che looks back on her life: how a love affair with a tango singer brought her to the big city of Buenos Aires at the age of fifteen, where she met influential figures, including Juan Perón.

Is he supposed to be the new earl? The nobility is shocked because Bill Snibson does not fit into their ranks and their idea of ​​a British gentleman. The young man from London's working-class district of Lambeth is the son of an earl whose marriage was not in keeping with his rank, and whose title he is now unexpectedly to inherit - but only under the condition that he proves himself "worthy and fit". The sister of the deceased, the Duchess of Dene, takes care of him and tries to make a perfect gentleman out of him. While Bill's girlfriend Sally is shunted off to the village inn, Lady Jacqueline Carstone does everything she can to win over the heir and with him the title.
