THE IMPRESARIO

The life of the acting director Frank is anything but easy: for his upcoming premiere, he needs money, a functioning technique, good singers and, and, and ... And it quickly becomes clear that for several centuries we have been struggling with the same difficulties in the theater as Mozart did in his time.

THE ROBBER HOTZENPLOTZ
Who doesn't know him, the robber Hotzenplotz? First he steals Grandma's new coffee grinder - which can make music so beautifully. Then he lures Seppel and Kasperl into a trap and takes them both prisoner. Why Wachtmeister Dimpfelmoser ends up capturing a bullfinch and what happens to Zwackelmann's magic castle is still a secret for the time being. Highly secret. If not top secret.

DANGEROUS OPERETTA

The adult education center has invited to a serious lecture about "The operetta in history and present", but the operetta can not be locked in a lecture! The operetta is crazy, time-critical, sentimental, exaggerated and vicious - it is dangerous! And so the madness of cancan, waltz, march and schmaltz takes over the lecture hall.

QUIRKY BIRDS

world premiere
QUIRKY BIRDS

Quirky Birds is the second part of our Stuttgart trilogy by Susanne Hinkelbein, which began with the brilliant Nesenbach. After a very intensive research period, the choir, consisting of citizens of Stuttgart of all ages, deals with the weird birds of the city and makes a musical sightseeing flight over Stuttgart. This time, the city is not sung about from underground, but from a bird's eye view. The audience encounters unusual places in Stuttgart and unusual people, who are approached in an ornithological way - whistling, tweeting, beaking and chirping included!
