Hänsel und Gretel 2018-12-13T19:00:00+01:00 2018-12-13T21:15:00+01:00 who hasn’t heard the fairytale about the two little children lost in a wood who get captured by a greedy witch? Engelbert Humperdinck created an opera in a musical imitation of Wagner which is equally suited to children and grownups alike. Fairytale and rich musical language, classic melodies and thrilling compositional skills are combined in this opera in a charming, picturesque production: Hänsel und Gretel is a Christmas classic which never fails to delight.

He has also had his operas premièred at the Munich Biennale and the Lucerne Festival. Together with librettist Durs Grünbein he has now written a political opera for the Wiener Staatsoper, making reference to the general shift to the right in Europe. At the centre of the action is the newly enamoured couple Peter and Lea, who set off on a journey down a river, – to the very heart of Europe, a continent recently torn apart again...</p> Johannes Maria Staud Johannes Maria Staud Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Die Zauberflöte 2018-12-15T19:00:00+01:00 2018-12-15T22:00:00+01:00 Die Zauberflöte is one of the most whimsical works in musical history: a mixture of Viennese Vorstadt Theatre, Masonic symbolism, popular myths and all kinds of fairytales. Over the course of the opera, Prince Tamino faces a quest: if he proves his worth, he will win Pamina’s hand. In the current production, a mature, rationalistic life philosophy is juxtaposed with rampant emotionality, and so, tells a tale of coming of age.
