A lion, an elephant, and a kangaroo want to celebrate Carnival. Sounds strange? But it's true – in Camille Saint-Saëns' uniquely funny and touching Carnival of Animals. Also present this time: The Troublemaker and all sorts of chaos!

Carnival of Animals

Theater Bremen

In Rossini's farce, a mixture of aristocratic superficiality and subtle operatic clichés, a group of people of different nationalities find themselves stranded in the French countryside on their way to the royal coronation. A farcical farce with the most beautiful bel canto arias!

The journey to Reims

Theater am Goetheplatz

Everyone knows the music of this most frequently performed German-language opera. Marco Štorman's new production draws fresh (magical) sounds from this musical fairytale and mystery, in which people between the ages of 9 and 99 can discover themselves and the world.
