Who has not heard of the robber Hotzenplotz? He first steals grandmother's new coffee grinder which plays such beautiful music whilst grinding. Then Hotzenplotz lures Seppel and Kasperl into a trap, taking them both prisoners. What’s more, the villain then sells poor Kasperl to the great and evil magician Petrosilius Zwackelmann – or is it Seppel he is selling? It does not matter. In any case, it takes a fair amount of courage, magic and the combined help by the audience to rescue the two friends. Composer Sebastian Schwab has newly composed Otfried Preußler's enchanting story as a Singspiel for the ensemble of the Staatsoper Stuttgart in time for Preußler’s 100th birthday - with coffee grinder and, of course, 7 knives.

The Robber Hotzen­plotz

Stuttgart Opera

4:48 a.m. Every 24 hours, in this darkest hour of the night, the effects of the psychotropic drug cocktail wear off - until the next dose 72 minutes later. Every night at this time, the drug veil lifts from the tormented consciousness and they return, the intrusive dark thoughts that threaten to suppress everything else. Nightmare visions. Feelings of hopelessness and self-hatred. Fragments of memories: of conversations with an absent lover. With a therapist whose professional distance seems downright cruel.

Greyhound Poch wins one dog race after
another until one day she simply collapses. She wakes up in the hospital surrounded by dog ​​doctors - diagnosis unknown. There is too much pressure in her head because the dog's bloated brain is floating around in the water. Hellcat Rosali, who does business transporting cadavers, proposes a mean deal: pain-relieving pills in exchange for half a life. The dog's brain hesitates at first - but ultimately doesn't know what else to do.
