‘I will comfort you as a mother comforts her child": Johannes Brahms' Requiem in German touches the heart - because it focuses on the grieving bereaved and not on the deceased and their salvation. Brahms himself called his unusual and not at all liturgically bound contribution to the genre ‘funeral music as a beatitude for those who suffer’ and thus created one of his most popular works. The Alte Oper gives amateur singers the opportunity to rehearse this work in the specially formed Enthusiastenchor and perform it together on the stage of the Great Hall - supported by the choir and orchestra of the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst.

Brahms, Requiem

Alte Oper

Mozart's opera favorite with music you recognize or quickly become seduced by. Join the search for love and freedom with Tamino and Pamina, Papageno and Papagena and, of course, the Queen of the Night. The Magic Flute, directed by Ole Anders Tandberg, is an imaginative and fast-paced performance that features the greatest hits in opera history – and everyone sings in Swedish!

Norrlandsoperan

Welcome to the mysterious fairy-tale world of the »Magic Flute«! Even the names of the characters sound magical and remind us of our first visits to the opera: Tamino, Pamina, Papageno, Sarastro … Hardly any other work of opera literature includes so many contradictory elements, so harmoniously combined into a coherent entity by Mozart's music. Is his arguably most popular opera an adventure story about growing up? A parable of wisdom, philosophy and friendship? Is it simply about staying true to oneself, like the bird catcher Papageno? He accompanies Prince Tamino, who has fallen in love with a picture of the kidnapped Pamina and plans to free her. We are reminded that the world cannot always be divided into good and evil: the Queen of the Night and Sarastro illustrate this to us through their quarrel over Pamina. On our journey we are also accompanied by three ladies, three boys, a glockenspiel, and a flute that tames even the wildest animals.
