Normally, the Marquise de Merteuil gets rid of her lovers. But it was different with the Comte de Gercourt, who ended the liaison. To take revenge on him, the Vicomte de Valmont, who is well-versed in all the arts of seduction, is supposed to take away Gercourt's virgin bride's innocence before the wedding. But Valmont feels called to greater things: he wants to make the modest Madame de Tourvel submissive and makes a bet with the Marquise, with whom he himself once had an affair: if he actually manages to seduce Tourvel, he and the Marquise will spend another night together. But the unscrupulous game of power and intrigue increasingly gets out of hand...

Theater Nordhausen

Hollywood film magnate Sam Makintosh urgently needs an unusual subject for a new film. His daughter Marylou has an idea: the new film should be based on real life, with actors who bring their own fate to the screen. After a look at the gossip press, she believes she has found the perfect inspiration in the Grand Hotel in Cannes, France, because that is where the Infanta Isabella and her court stayed after the proclamation of the republic in Spain. It turns out that everything is in turmoil here. The strong-willed Marylou throws herself into the thick of things and is soon swept away by the maelstrom of events herself.

For the Open Monument Day, soprano Yuval Oren and tenor Marian Kalus, two soloists from the Nordhausen Theater, and the opera choir will give a celebratory concert that leaves nothing to be desired.

The artists will be accompanied on the piano by choir director Markus Fischer and the director of studies and conductor Svetlomir Zlatkov.

The beautiful and at the same time ice-cold Princess Turandot, "the Pure", only wants to marry the prince who can solve her three essentially unsolvable riddles. If he fails, the unsuccessful suitor will be executed. Prince Calàf, irretrievably in love with her, wants to face the tests. Everyone tries to dissuade him from his deadly plan: his blind father Timur, the slave Liů, who herself has fallen in unrequited love for Calàf, and even the three imperial ministers. Nevertheless, he takes the risk and, to Turandot's horror, solves all the riddles. Recognizing her resistance, he poses a riddle of his own, but in the end he reveals the solution, thereby surrendering himself to Turandot once again...

In 1983, "La Cage aux Folles" was the first musical to deal with a homosexual theme. After its premiere on Broadway in New York, it conquered the stages of Europe within a few years. With its turbulent story, its shrill characters and its catchy music, it is still very popular today and remains timelessly relevant with its plea to trust your own feelings and live authentically.

A Cage Full of Fools (La Cage aux Folles)

The lives of Juliet, daughter of the Capulet family, and Romeo, son of the Montagues, would certainly have been different if Juliet had married Count Paris, who was her intended, and Romeo had married his love, Rosalinda. But things turned out differently: when they first met, Romeo and Juliet fell madly in love. But they knew that a romantic relationship was impossible, as their families had been in bitter conflict for a long time. When the secret relationship was discovered, a fateful fight broke out between Romeo and Juliet's cousin Tybalt, which ended in death for the latter and finally destroyed any hope of a happy outcome for the lovers.
