Hans is as big as a thumb, sleeps on an old ink pad and loves paddling through the salad bowl in a nutshell. His parents say he's something special. The whole world will see, thinks Hans, and one day he runs away. He meets many animals and learns that everyone is special in their own way.

Hans Däum­ling runs away

Nuremberg State Theater

Stone soup is not particularly tasty, but if you add different vegetables and herbs, it can become a delicious meal. Using the fairy tale "The Stone Soup", different instruments in an orchestra are introduced: when they all play together, they create a delicious sound.

The Stone Soup

Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg

Which melodies get stuck in our heads, and why? How much can I change this melody until I no longer recognise it? Why does a violin melody sound different from that of a trumpet? Philipp Roosz and the Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg explore what songs and entire symphonies are made of: the melody.
