"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.

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.
