How can we confront injustice in society? Mahatma Gandhi, the famous Indian freedom fighter, developed a spiritual response to this as a young lawyer in South Africa: "Satyagraha", holding on to the truth. The truth is propagated here as the most effective means in the fight against injustice, the opposing side is to be convinced by peaceful means, through non-violent resistance. Philip Glass has dedicated an emphatic work of art to this idea with his great choral opera Satyagraha : His catchy minimal music transports us to other spheres of consciousness, the timeless verses from the Bhagavad Gita invite us to inner contemplation - an inspiring experience.

Satyagraha

Opernplatz

Great Italian drama! A stage full of "real life", with artificially created, convincing reality: sobbing, wheezing, crying, transformation, exhaustion, garnished with a sugary-sweet "bell choir" and a real fight for the best view of the village theater, which becomes the scene of a bloody tragedy. Pagliacci is a big, glittering, shimmering, escalating show that piles up all the advantages of Italian opera - until at the end everything collapses and only one thing remains: the unvarnished finale. And you never know how close it comes to real life.

The Bajazzo

She loves with a burning passion and rejects love violently. She lives from the power of tango and perishes alone. She dances for her life and is robbed of her happiness. She plays with death and rises again - María from Buenos Aires. In his celebrated tango operetta, the Argentinian composer and father of tango nuevo, Astor Piazzolla, tells of the dark secrets of the tragic female figure who is both figure and spirit, flesh and appearance. With her infinitely sensual mixture of tango and chanson, Latin and classical, poetry and dance, joie de vivre and melancholy, she awakens our deepest feelings.
