When the beach lies beneath the pavement, as the ‘68ers’ liked to say, it's not far to the sea. Gladis, the protagonist of this opera, follows the opposite direction, from the sea to the pavement. Gladis is an orca. And she wants to destroy what she destroys. Cruise ships, superyachts, that sort of thing. Not just in the sea, but also on land. And so she takes up an offer and sells one of her fins for 24 hours of human form. Der rote Wal (The Red Whale) is a fairy tale that approaches a Stuttgart material that is charged like a myth. A “German autumn fairy tale“ about the myth of the RAF, about the question of what resistance is allowed and also about what was and what is true.

The Red Whale

Stuttgart Opera

A small Hessian town is facing financial ruin, but Mayor Carola Weissgut has the solution: an ideas competition promises millions in funding for "diversity and community." Surely there must be a few queer people in the village who can polish up the reputation of this struggling community! And there are, but they have absolutely no desire to be used for the image campaign. And one or two concerned citizens have a problem with the rainbow flag on the town hall… A dazzling drag queen, arguments and reconciliations, family drama, new elections, and true love complete the rainbow-colored chaos.

All love!: A queer rural operetta by Misha Cvijović and Philipp Amelungsen

Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden

Follies, one of Stephen Sondheim’s most personal and touching musicals, will have its first production at the Vienna Volksoper in a production by Martin G. Berger. The Chekhovian work with quotes from the music of the 1920’s to 40’s tells the story of two couples struggling with their life decisions and takes a nostalgic look at a glamorous and supposedly carefree past.
