There is nothing as captivating as a voice, like singing. With our voices, we tell stories and create art. As much as they touch us and enchant us, they can also carry the fractures and cracks that run through our lives. For personal experiences and societal conditions largely determine what can and should be sung. Which body sings a song? And what can opera be for us? Director Anselm Dalferth and his team explore the phenomenon of the voice that seduces us and can also break sometimes with two singers. The stage is set for a joyful tightrope act without a net and double bottom.

Theater Duisburg

Despite the spirit of optimism, the new year also offers an opportunity for reflection: In 2025, the music world celebrated the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss II. For the Duisburg Philharmonic's Salon Orchestra, this is just one of many reasons to celebrate the master of three-quarter time at its New Year's Concert. In cooperation with the Susanne Scholten Foundation, the ensemble presents sparkling waltz classics combined with arias and duets from "Die Fledermaus," "The Gypsy Baron," "A Night in Venice," and—to give another operetta king, Emmerich Kálmán, a voice—"Die Csárdásfürstin." Also joining in singing and enjoying champagne are soprano Alexandra von der Weth and baritone Junsung Kim.
