The Antichrist makes his entrance into a godless world. Sent by Lucifer into the world, he adopts many guises. Mankind is tested and tempted by pride, lust, lies, despondency and hatred in an “all-against-all altercation”. Langgaard’s opera is suffused with fin de siècle atmosphere and pessimism, warning of catastrophe and denouncing the vices of the modern age: egotism, arrogance, frivolity. Langgaard, though, was also an optimist, convinced of the transformative, transcendental power of art and the importance of music as a thread connecting people to the godhead. So it is that the world is freed of all evil and sorrow in the culminating chorus scene in ANTIKRIST.

In this wild comedy, everything that can go wrong on stage goes wrong - and that is a huge theatrical treat. "The Play That Goes Wrong" is not just the subtitle of this fast-paced comedy, but also the program: Actors who only know their lines inadequately, stage elements that fall down and a wild mix-up of props are an integral part of this performance, in which the murderer of the master of Haversham Castle is actually to be hunted down.
