Andreas Beinhauer takes on the role of the witty bird seller, who guides the audience through Mozart's most famous opera in this version. In Foyer 2 of the opera house, the children are right in the thick of the action and are drawn into the performance by Papageno – whether as a tree or a snake, forest animals, or Papagena and Papageno's children. It's a vibrant and colorful spectacle, musically superb. A wonderful opportunity for preschool children to experience musical theatre for the first time.

Alice is celebrating her birthday. Suddenly, the real world disappears, and Alice leaves the here and now behind. Kidnapped by a harried white rabbit, she plunges into a strange world, a fantastical one. Here, everything is upside down. Alice grows so tall that she can no longer fit through any door; then she shrinks so small that she can't reach any doorknob. Transformed, she enters Wonderland, encounters a smoking caterpillar, and swims through a sea of ​​tears. She meets the Cheshire Cat, which bears no resemblance to a purring pet. She rests at a peculiar, very British tea party and finally arrives at the court of the Queen of Hearts, who is less warm and welcoming than her name suggests. First, Alice is asked to play croquet with her, then she witnesses the Queen's anger over a stolen cake. Before the story within the story concludes with a court verdict, Alice awakens back in the present, in the real world. Alice is celebrating her birthday. Also described as literary nonsense, the novel by Charles Ludwige Dodgson (pseudonym: Lewis Carroll) offers a wealth of metaphors and game scenarios.
