Men are crazy! While the violinist Orpheus immerses himself in his work and escapes into an affair to distract himself from his unfulfilled marriage to his wife Eurydice, the underworld god Pluto takes a liking to her and steals her into his realm – Orpheus is happy to be rid of her! Later, the guardian Styx and the chief god of Olympus, Jupiter, see their chance with Eurydice. And the women? Well, Jupiter’s wife Juno immediately blames her husband for everything, and Eurydice has fun elsewhere until she becomes the plaything of the suitors. At least public opinion is stepping up to the plate and putting the gentlemen in their place. But Eurydice is fed up anyway and would rather have a drink with the Bacchantes. Cheers!

Orpheus in der Unterwelt

Musikalische Komödie

She was Argentina’s »spiritual leader«, a »saint«. Eva »Evita« Perón was very inf luential and, above all, she caused a stir. 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 inf luential figures, including Juan Perón. She helped him to the presidency and used her voice in the fight against poverty and for the Argentine people, until one day her strength waned ...

Evita

Tevye the milkman is poor in terms of money, but rich in terms of women: five daughters! Three of them of marriageable age. But it soon becomes clear that the young women's dreams do not conform to either the plans of the matchmaker, Yente, or those of their father, who dreams so avidly of "If I were a rich man". In this cult musical, which premiered on Broadway in 1964 and won nine Tony Awards, riveting dance scenes and full-scale show numbers underscore moments of a father whose dreams and hopes resonate deeply.

Fiddler on the Roof

At a train station, somewhere in Germany, businessman Max Habermann is waiting – handsome (he’s well aware of it), on the verge of a burn-out (he’s unaware of it yet), pompous and condescending to everyone else. Where on earth is the train that is supposed to take him to the airport? Main thing is to get far away fast! The business meeting is waiting. When the announcement is made that there will be no more trains for the time being due to an approaching storm, the likeable guy on the platform completely loses it ...

Delayed to Happiness - A Winter Revue

»Die Fledermaus« is considered the ultimate operetta, full of waltzes, polkas, who-with-whom, champagne, mistaken identity, masquerading and fraternization. How refreshing it is that Gabriel von Eisenstein, eager to have some quick fun with young ladies before he goes to prison, is repaid tit-for-tat by his wife Rosalinde: with her old vocal coach Alfred. Only a tenor could be so audacious! Adele, the maid, has high aspirations, but first she attends the ball as Miss Olga in the dress of her gracious lady. And this is how all the lovable characters, who are not too concerned with the truth, converge at the ball of Prince Orlofsky. He is young, rich, bored – such a retaliatory action by Dr. Falke is just what he needs. The latter has a score to settle with Eisenstein: "This is the way the bat takes revenge!" Orlofsky's ball becomes a stage. And in the end they all meet again in prison. Here Herr von Eisenstein learns who his close pal, the Chevalier Chagrin, really is and what the doppelganger in his dressing gown is all about. Eisenstein's acquittal is celebrated with champagne, because after all, he alone was to blame, was he not?
