Puccini’s beautiful and powerful opera shatters the hearts of its audience with its devastating story of betrayal set against the backdrop of 1904 Nagasaki, Japan.

A sophisticated story and timelessly good music are the best prerequisites for a successful comedy. With "The Marriage of Figaro", Mozart opened his trio of legendary master operas, all of which the composer wrote based on librettos by the Italian Lorenzo Da Ponte. The piece presents an everlasting love story, a playful and biting social satire - and yet all these descriptions fall short. Because "Figaro" is above all: a work of upheaval, a piece of stormy pressure for personal recognition and thus at the same time a timeless symbol of the individual's rebellion against the establishment.

"Carmen" is still one of the most popular operas today. At the premiere in 1875, audiences were initially more shocked than enthusiastic, because Bizet elevated the underprivileged - the fatally seductive Carmen and the deserting soldier Don José - to the main characters of his story. Nevertheless, the opera began its great triumph. Even more than one hundred and forty years later, the work fascinates audiences all over the world with its world of smugglers, bullfighters, factory workers, policemen, children and soldiers. In addition to ensemble member Fleuranne Brockway as Carmen, Stefano La Colla, one of the most important tenors on the international opera scene, is a guest in Wiesbaden and is making his debut as Don José. The revival is being conducted by General Music Director Leo McFall.

On the "Fantasio" stage, the two play a bitter game of cat and mouse; after the rehearsal, they like to joke in English, their shared mother tongue. Fleuranne Brockway and Jack Lee put a good dose of romance into their recital. In addition to songs full of longing, wanderlust and high tension, they also sprinkle artistic folk song arrangements into their program.

Fantasio's name says it all. With an overdose of humor, craziness and creative energy, the title character navigates through every situation, no matter how tricky, and turns everything upside down. A wonderful role model for Anna Weber, an expert in musical comedies and their adaptations for the stage. Wherever she directs, tears of laughter and a breath of fresh air are guaranteed. For Wiesbaden, she has unearthed an unknown gem by Jacques Offenbach with "Fantasio" and has woven the premiere cast into her new version with a singer.
