Max Bialystock, formerly a successful Broadway producer who only turns out flops nowadays, comes up with a plan together with his dull accountant Leo Bloom: their next production is to be the worst one ever! They raise far more money than is actually necessary and hope that the production will be shut down as soon as possible. After all, the plan is to leave for Rio with the rest of the money. Their choice falls on the musical “Springtime for Hitler” by the mad old Nazi Franz Liebkind: a homage to Adolf Hitler! They hire the flop director Roger De Bris and the worst actors around. Will your plan work?

Holidays at last: check into a beautiful hotel and unwind – ideally with a view of the water. But no: at the hotel “Weißes Rössl” (“The White Horse Inn”) on the shores of the lake “Wolfgangsee”, things are going haywire. Farewell relaxation! The inn is completely packed, work and personal life become indistinguishable, and both staff and guests are wildly in love, which, due to mix-ups and secrets, keeps ending in chaos. After layoffs, dismissals and tears, however, a few things can be clarified – both professionally and privately. The next holiday is bound to follow!

The White Horse Inn

Whether Undine, Rusalka, or Ariel, mermaids have historically been all the rage in children's literature – and the present is no exception. These creatures – half-human, half-animal – that move between worlds provide endless fascination. After Peter and the Wolf and Carnival of the Animals, The Little Mermaid is one of the most performed orchestral works for children in the German-speaking world.

Lortzing's popular play opera features many of his signature themes, including craftsmanship, love and comical mix-ups, as well as a humorous yet critical view of the bourgeoisie and the nobility.

Is he supposed to be the new earl? The nobility is shocked because Bill Snibson does not fit into their ranks and their idea of ​​a British gentleman. The young man from London's working-class district of Lambeth is the son of an earl whose marriage was not in keeping with his rank, and whose title he is now unexpectedly to inherit - but only under the condition that he proves himself "worthy and fit". The sister of the deceased, the Duchess of Dene, takes care of him and tries to make a perfect gentleman out of him. While Bill's girlfriend Sally is shunted off to the village inn, Lady Jacqueline Carstone does everything she can to win over the heir and with him the title. On the day of the decision, Bill surprises her with an appearance as an impeccable gentleman. But when Sally suddenly appears with friends from Lambeth, Bill vacillates between his old life and his new wealth. Which will he choose?

Eurydice is left behind. Often eclipsed by Orpheus's song, her tale is retold by Fran Díaz for the Leipzig Ballet. Eurydice is not a marginal figure, a muse, or a prisoner of a love for which she was destined. Instead, she is a woman in search of her way in a world that both shapes and denies her desires.

In a bar in the middle of the night. The party reached its peak hours ago – time to go home, right? No, the party is just getting started! Somewhere between sunset and dawn, an electrifying, surreal and nostalgic atmosphere unfolds, led by the entertainer Frank – is it Frank Sinatra himself? The party guests experience a variety of situations through the Sinatra songs performed that night, from show acts to romantic memories, from intoxication to arguments.

She has a difficult personality – but a nice nose! This opinion expressed by a short statured Gaul is just one of the many legends surrounding the captivating pharaoh. Cleopatra's ability to stun the greats of her time has always served as a blessing for those in the entertainment business who had a keen eye for good material. Even though Handel's timeless smash hit bears the title of the Roman dictator, the Egyptian usually leads by a nose in this gem of the operatic repertoire. The way she warbles, charms, suffers, sobs and triumphs is breathtakingly beautiful.
