Listen up! There's plenty for the youngest listeners to experience. We sit on cushions in the orchestra rehearsal hall, getting up close to the action. Together with our musicians from different instrument groups, we tell exciting stories that everyone can participate in.

Listen up!

What exactly does a director do? At the "Mittendrin" workshop on March 6th and 7th, Olivia Müller-Elmau, director of the production SCHAMPARADIES and assistant director at the theater, will offer insights into the profession of directing. Using the production SCHAMPARADIES as a case study, you'll gain an overview of the various phases of directing at the city and state theater: developing a directorial concept, collaborating with set design, costumes, and music, and rehearsing with actors. And because practice is better than theory, the workshop will also put you in the role of a director: How can you develop an idea based on a short scene? Which theatrical techniques help in realizing your idea? And how can you guide actors to bring their vision to life on stage?
