It’s a true cult performance: My Fair Lady explores the power of language, and the power struggle between men and women. Since 1979, the musical has been captivating audiences at the Volksoper. Phonetics professor Dr. Higgins transforms the flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady of high society through rigorous language training. However, does Higgins not only manipulate Eliza’s language, but her feelings as well?

Ruth Brauer-Kvam takes a new look at a beloved production with a fantastic ensemble, blowing away the dust that has accumulated over the years and allowing My Fair Lady to shine once again in its old-new brilliance!

In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. In 1990, pogroms took place in Baku, now the capital of Azerbaijan, on the edge of the Soviet empire, leading to the exodus and diaspora of large numbers of Armenians. In a sense, this marked the beginning of the collapse of the vast Soviet empire.
