Every morning, Director Fröhlich brings life to the zoo with his cheerful singing.
But when he injures himself, it suddenly falls silent: The animals seem sad, nothing is the same anymore – and visitors stop coming.
Luckily, zookeeper Timo has a wonderful idea... An animal-musical story about emotions and the magic of orchestral instruments.

Güllen's train station is run down. The streets and buildings are also dilapidated, many shops are closed, and most of the citizens' possessions are pawned. Money is needed, and urgently! The announcement of a visit comes at just the right time: Claire Zachanassian, a billionaire philanthropist, is returning to her hometown. Once born in Güllen as Klara Wäscher, she was forced to leave the town in a hurry after her childhood sweetheart, Alfred Ill, played a dirty trick on her. Now Claire is back and makes the people of Güllen an offer: One billion, but for that, Alfred Ill must die. The offer is rejected with great indignation. Better poor than bloodstained! But little by little, consumerism increases in the town, a new town hall is to be built, and even the church suddenly has new bells...

In an ice-cold attic in Paris, the poet Rodolfo, the painter Marcello, the philosopher Colline, and the musician Schaunard dream of fame, art, and love: poor in money, yet rich in ideals.

It soon becomes clear that even the greatest love cannot defy life's adversities...

Berlin, 1927: The young Harry Frommermann admired the American a cappella group The Revelers so much that he decided to form his own band. He promptly placed a newspaper ad to find fellow members. Over seventy candidates auditioned in Frommermann's apartment. There were several performances and changes in the ensemble until the most famous lineup to date, the Comedian Harmonists, was formed: Robert Biberti, Ari Leschnikoff, Roman Cycowski, Erich Collin, and Harry Frommermann, joined by Erwin Bootz on piano. With songs like " Ein Freund, ein guter Freund" (A Friend, a Good Friend) and "Wochenend' and Sonnenschein" (Weekend and Sunshine), the sextet took not only German stages by storm. But their success did not protect them from the increasingly present National Socialist regime, as three of the members were Jewish. Following harassment and rejections, they were banned from performing and ultimately the tragic breakup of the group.

Cinderella

This year's Christmas play at the Reithalle takes a look at the madness of everyday life. Based on his own experiences as a temporary Christmas elf at the famous department store chain Macy's, David Sedaris paints a wonderfully absurd picture of the festive season—full of overexcited customers, moody colleagues, and screaming children dictating their wishes to Santa Claus. With plenty of humor, we encounter human peculiarities, banal situations, and profound stories. A satire about consumerism, Christmas hypocrisy, and the absurdities of modern holiday rituals. This entertaining evening looks at Christmas with a wink and plenty of music.

Together they whirl through the house, listening to the sounds of the night and dreaming – and suddenly, the idea is there! A poetic, sonorous, and light-as-a-feather journey to Eine kleine Nachtmusik.
