Have you ever heard a nightingale sing? The Emperor of China never has! When he hears the nightingale sing for the first time, he is amazed by its wonderful song, which had brought so many people from far and wide and which he had never even known about until then. "And the nightingale sang so beautifully that tears came to the emperor's eyes." So moved, he lets the nightingale sing day and night for him and his people. Until he is given an artfully crafted, artificial nightingale that can sing tirelessly, without a break. Replaced by a fake nightingale, the real nightingale flees, leaving the emperor and his people behind - for now. With enchanting and colorful music, this is a story about the things that make our lives rich, without any money or gold.

The Emperor's Nightingale

Beethoven Hall

Chickens juggle eggs, donkeys can barely escape amorous horses, and fish perform an addictive dance in their colorful, shimmering scales. THIS is the Carnival of Animals! The biggest animal spectacle of the year, the most unforgettable show, the most exhilarating gathering—and with you, it's even better!

Carnival of Animals

Gingerbread and candy canes, candlelight and the smell of pine needles – Christmas days are filled with cosiness and magic. Even for Clara and her new friend, the Nutcracker. The two of them take you on a Christmas adventure into the fantastic realm of the Mouse King and Princess Pirlepat.

Crack nuts and start dancing

Theater Bonn Opera House

Do you know when you can't sleep? And the more you think about falling asleep, the more awake you become? No amount of counting sheep will help. Maybe the right music will help? You might think so with Mozart's Little Night Music . But it's definitely not music for sleeping, more for real night owls! Together we go on a nocturnal musical walk – and there's a lot going on! Will our eyes close at the end?

A Little Night Music

Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany

A joyful hubbub, market criers loudly touting their wares, mountains of unfamiliar fruits and vegetables, colorful spice troughs, the smells of foreign foods, and stalls full of glittering and shimmering treasures. A market in Andalusia, Spain, has a lot to offer, and Nala could wander here for days. But many miles lie behind her: rivers to cross, forests to roam through, and mountains to climb. And all this in search of the mysterious music box she seeks to find her destiny. Will Nala find it here after all she's experienced? With your help, she definitely will!
