Singer

A myth that is unparalleled: the legend of the singer Orpheus, whose music reaches the hearts of all living creatures, overshadows the man behind the fictional character. Caught between reality and dream, the spotlight and loneliness, longing for love and narcissism, we follow Orpheus on his journey into the underworld as he demands his beloved Eurydice back.

Orpheus and Eurydice (Orphée et Eurydice)

Staatstheater Darmstadt

With dreamlike, fantastic orchestral sounds, Pierangelo Valtinoni's children's opera, which premiered in 2022, invites you on a journey into the realm of fantasy. In the desert, a stranded pilot meets the little prince, who has been transported to Earth from his asteroid. While the pilot tries to repair his plane, the little prince tells of distant planets and their inhabitants: of a ruler in love with ruling, a singer in love with herself, a star buyer in love with possessions... and of a fox who explains the essence of friendship.

The Little Prince

A world in which everything turns out for the best? In which forgiveness and generosity triumph over greed and malice? Who wouldn't want that? In Rossini's opera buffa, this dream becomes reality on stage. The title character Angelina does not have an easy life under the arrogance and resentment of her stepfamily. But even her stepfather, the impoverished nobleman Don Magnifico, cannot prevent her transformation from Cinderella into a mysterious beauty: At the prince's ball, Angelina enchants everyone present. But it is not just Cinderella's disguise that causes confusion - the prince himself also poses as a servant and causes all sorts of comical mix-ups.
