The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum
by Heinrich Boell
After a night of dancing, a young woman suddenly becomes the target of the police authorities; suddenly nothing is private anymore. Circulation figures rise, morale falls. Heinrich Böll’s 1974 story shows a journalism that has sold all ethics for high circulation figures. Are we really prepared to believe slander, to join in every agitation if it only confirms our prejudices?

A lot of noise regarding nothing
Comedy by William Shakespeare
Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon, returns victorious from the war with his combatants Benedikt and Claudio. Leonato, Governor of Messina, invites them to stay at his court for a while. Claudio promptly falls in love with Leonato’s daughter Hero. They are to get married sooner rather than later. Only an intrigue might separate the two now. But it is approaching in the form of Don Juan, Don Pedro’s wayward half-brother. However, it is also a secretly hatched plan that brings Benedikt and Beatrice, two convinced singles and merciless quarrelers, together.

Tempo
Higher, further, faster. The time we have passes every moment. We chase following it. The clock is ticking. The drums drive us forward. In this piece, director Felix Hafner, with the Phoenix Ensemble and live drummers, takes on the omnipresent acceleration and creates a musical-theatrical evening full of rhythm, drive and, above all, tempo.

Florian Boesch & Franui Musicband

Sweeney Todd. Barber of Horrors of Fleet Street
Musical thriller by Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and Hugh Wheeler (book)
Barber Sweeney Todd returns to Victorian London following years of exile. He seeks revenge on Judge Turpin, who once wrongfully convicted him, abused his wife and kidnapped his daughter. Sweeney finds the perfect business partner in the chronically unsuccessful pie baker Mrs. Lovett, whose business he uses to open a barber shop. His insatiable thirst for blood gives her such delicious fillings for her meat pies that people soon line up in Fleet Street. Mrs. Lovett is happy, while Sweeney is unmoved by the business success and Lovett’s affection – he is interested in nothing other than completing his plan of revenge.

The Simon & Garfunkel Story

The last days of humanity

The audience can look forward to the fusion of Kraus’ prophetic texts, which reflect the depths of human existence, with Pirchner’s musical genius, performed in the usual way by the wind ensemble Pro Brass.

Bunbury or the meaning of being serious
von Oscar Wilde
Since its premiere, Oscar Wilde’s groundbreaking comedy regarding hypocrisy and superficiality from 1895 has become an absolute classic of absurd reckoning with a self-proclaimed elite. The interplay of self-pretense and insane demands on everyone else still provides fodder for sharp-tongued and comical analyses of a society that believes itself to be better than it is.

Minichmayr & Aurora Orchestra
Together with Birigt Minichmayr, the internationally acclaimed British Aurora Orchestra reinterprets Saint-Saëns’ famous Carnival of the Animals: a production transforms the concert into a museum visit in Paris around 1900, in which the musicians and the instruments are, in a sense, sounding exhibits. In addition, there are works newly composed for this purpose by Richard Ayres, who enriches the imaginary museum with further musical curiosities. The orchestra plays all of this from memory and uses this freedom for an impressive choreography including costumes and props.
