Director Barrie Kosky plunges us into a nightmarish, wildly exaggerated satire, with marching noses, rolling rickshaw tables, and caricatured protagonists in garish costumes that straddle folklore and historicism, all unfolding within a cold, bleak setting that feels claustrophobic despite its size. This surrealist story of the insecure and paranoid upstart Platon Kuzmich Kovalyov is transformed into a absurd, kaleidoscopic revue of the vanities, an unsettling collision of Wozzeck and Alice in Wonderland with its own ‘irrational’ logic.

The Nose

Schiller Theater

A domineering linguistics professor transforms a rough-and-tumble flower seller into a refined lady—what a romance! And as a musical, it’s been an unmatched success, enchanting audiences worldwide for nearly seventy years, thanks to Shaw’s brilliant story and Loewe’s unforgettable melodies.

My Fair Lady

Long before Oscar Wilde’s interpretation, the figure of Salome already appeared in the Bible. There, the story was about how King Herod, his stepdaughter Salome, and John the Baptist (Jochanaan) each lose their heads—although in very different ways...

Sa­lo­me

Mrs Bertie Bartolotti had intended to spend the evening at the opera with Mr Egon, but now she’ll have to change her plans. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that a misdelivered tin can would turn her into a mother! The Himmelblau company, experts in mass-producing model children, has sent her the Premium Chromo.XY/3859 model, with hair parted to the side and the name Conrad. But what does such a child actually need? And what does he like? Hot peppers? Jellies? Liqueur chocolates? Sardines in oil? Well, best to start by putting a bit of everything on the plate! Conrad loves order and rules, so unfortunately he knows only too well that good children always finish their plates...
