Angelina lives with her two vain and snobbish stepsisters Clorinde and Tisbe and her stepfather in a run-down castle. The stepsisters treat Angelina like a maid and only call her Cenerentola (Cinderella). When it becomes known that the wealthy Prince Ramiro of Salerno is looking for a bride, Clorinde and Tisbe push themselves to the front of the line of candidates. But the prince loses his heart to Angelina, and they lived happily ever after. Rossini, the king of opera buffa, takes his audience into fairy tale worlds with "La Cenerentola" and at the same time created a quirky, witty narrative by eliminating all fantastic fairy tale elements, revealing a very profound and human side. Additionally, this work is characterized especially by Rossini's magnificent and refined musical portrayal of his characters – captivating for young and old alike.

Eine Familie, zwei Sprachen, einhundert Jahre und mehr als zweitausend Kilometer zwischen Istanbul und Gelsenkirchen. Akin Emanuel Sipal erzählt die Geschichte einer Familie, in der die aus Schlesien stammende Urgroßmutter den türkischen Großvater einst mit einem Regenschirm attackierte. Der Schwiegersohn kehrt als Autor in die Türkei zurück und übersetzt die großen Werke der deutschen Literatur. Die nächste Generation ist zwischen beiden Ländern hin- und hergerissen. Dazu kommt vieles, was Türk*innen über Deutsche und Deutsche über Türk*innen zu wissen glauben. In all das verheddert sich das Alter Ego des Autors. »Mutter Vater Land« zeichnet mit hohem Tempo und hintergründigem Humor eine Welt, in der sich Kulturen vermischen und zu etwas Neuem werden. 2022 wurde „Mutter Vater Land“ mit dem Publikumspreis der renommierten Mülheimer Theatertage ausgezeichnet.

Helena ist Scheidungsanwältin, Bob schlägt sich als Kleinkrimineller durch, beide sind 35 Jahre alt und vom Leben bisher nur mäßig begeistert. Nachdem Helena wieder mal versetzt wurde, nimmt sie den nächstbesten Typen aus der Bar mit nach Hause: Bob. Trotz der unspektakulären gemeinsamen Nacht funkt es zwischen den beiden. Als sie sich am nächsten Tag wieder in die Arme laufen – Helena im Brautjungfernkleid, Bob mit 15.000 Pfund in der Tasche, die er für seinen Boss verwahren soll – beschließen sie: Heute pfeifen sie auf alles und hauen die Kohle auf den Kopf! Wie gut diese Idee wirklich ist, können sie sich auch am Tag darauf noch überlegen. Eine herzerwärmende Komödie mit dem Versprechen, dass es für einen Neuanfang nie zu spät ist.
