One man. One woman. One separation. Two paths in life that lead back to each other - and at the end, not only the sentimental “I Did It My Way“ look back, but also a powerful look forward, because “The Best Is Yet to Come“. Inspired by the music of Nina Simone and Frank Sinatra, director Ivo van Hove tells a story from America, the story of an emancipation that begins in a model American town called Watertown. And of course it's not just about a woman and a man and an American town, but about the validity of the American Dream, the search for a free and tolerant society and – with a view to the present – not least the question of how the land of the free and the home of the brave will survive the attempt to make America great again. I Did It My Way features a top-class cast including acting superstar Lars Eidinger and Larissa Sirah Herden, who as singer, actress and music producer Lary is one of the great women of color in German-language pop music. In a series of co-productions that the Staatsoper Stuttgart is linking with other European festivals and theaters, this evening will also showcase new narrative styles, other musical languages and the many facets of what musical theater can be.
