What if the economic miracle after World War II had not taken place in Germany, but in Turkey instead? What if German guest workers had helped to rebuild Turkey – and not the other way around? This exciting thought experiment forms the basis of the play.

In scenes in German and songs in Turkish, "Istanbul" tells a tragicomic story of the search for happiness, love, and home. The songs of Sezen Aksu, the founder and Grande Dame of Turkish pop, serve as inspiration for the play.

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the demolition of the city wall of Trier in 2025, an exhibition at the city museum deals with the city wall and the development of the city. Starting from the remnants of the wall that came to light during excavations in the cellar of the Simeonstift during the construction work for the extension, which clearly shows the intertwining of antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modernity, the exhibition connects to the time of the wall's demolition and the present.

He doesn't give a damn.
More accurately than with this edgy Bavarian saying, one can't quite describe the Munich-based comedian Harry G, who obviously has little to do with the famous clichés of Bussi Bussi and Schickeria. Clear words, sharp observations, quirky humor, and a short fuse when it comes to social injustices. And fearlessness towards everything and everyone: Anyone attending a show by Harry G must expect to be entertained in such a multifaceted and emotionally engaging way for over 90 minutes that afterwards they will be just as exhausted as after a brisk ascent to the Wallberg. An evening with Harry G is not for resting, it's an evening full of energy and intensity that as a spectator you simply cannot and do not want to escape. Harry G is the best that Bavarian comedy has to offer.

HoamStories - the title of successful comedian Harry G's new and fourth program - is a play on words that once again should clearly demonstrate that Bavaria is much more than just the well-known "Mia San Mia" motto. Rather, it aims to illustrate cosmopolitanism and zeitgeist, which can be perfectly harmonized with Bavarian tradition and way of life. HoamStories is a world trip at home, an odyssey to Tesla drivers with beard oil subscriptions, Apple Store hipsters, and Aperol Spritz Scarletts who, in their suuuuuper stressful everyday lives, have no other task than to post scented candles on Instagram. In HoamStories, Harry G makes observations that the audience often embarrassingly recognizes themselves in. Harry G places this "ordinary life" in such a context that no eye remains dry. Almost always from laughter, but also because some eccentricities are simply tear-inducing. Stories from and about Bavaria. That's HoamStories.

What began with amusing videos on social media has developed since 2013 into an extraordinary stage success. In his programs 'Living with the Isarpreiß' (2014), '#HarrydieEhre' (2016), and HoamBoy (2020), Harry G enthralled his audience as a contemporary ambassador of Bavarian lifestyle in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with 17 sold-out shows alone in the Bavarian capital at the prestigious Circus Krone. Starting January 2024, Harry G continues this success story with his fourth program, HoamStories.

The original production by Sasson/Sautter with Deborah Sasson and Uwe Kröger Music: Deborah Sasson Text: Jochen Sautter Music Director and Arrangements: Ryan Martin The grand tour production is back with a high-caliber star-cast and in a completely new musical adaptation. A true musical highlight! After the outstanding success of the 2022/23 tour, world star Deborah Sasson has once again been enlisted to take on the role of Christine in the season. The collaboration between the singer and Germany's musical star number 1, Uwe Kröger, who continues in the role of the Phantom, was celebrated by audiences and the press everywhere. Since 2010, "The Phantom of the Opera" by the author's team of Deborah Sasson and Jochen Sautter has captivated audiences on stages across Europe. The forced break of the Corona pandemic was creatively utilized to completely rework the production musically. For this, the British successful musician Ryan Martin was brought on board, who has composed and arranged music for Cirque du Soleil, America's Got Talent, Netflix, BBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox USA, among others. The spectacular stage design is brought to life by the striking, three-dimensional video projections of the internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Daniel Stryjecki as well as the grand stage elements built by Michael Scott of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. This new production, which was originally created for the 100th birthday of the novel "Le Fantôme de l'Opéra" written in 1910 by Gaston Leroux, is one of the most successful touring musicals in Europe. The production stands out from all previous musical interpretations of the literary material by sticking closer to the original novel and incorporating famous opera quotes in parts of the music composed by Sasson. The role of Christine is interpreted by the globally acclaimed Boston soprano and Echo Klassik Prize winner Deborah Sasson. Her versatile and powerful voice is perfect for this blend of opera and musical. The Phantom is played by Uwe Kröger, who captured the hearts of the audience since his breakthrough in the role of Death in the world premiere of Elisabeth. He has played, among others, the lead roles in the premieres of Rebecca, Mozart, The Visit of the Old Lady, Heidi, and the German-speaking premieres of Sunset Boulevard, Miss Saigon, Doctor Dolittle, The Addams Family, and Napoleon at the London West End. Now, he embodies the role of the world-famous and internally torn Phantom in this production. Furthermore, a large ensemble of selected singers, dancers, and actors from the German-speaking region is involved. Doors open: 7:00 PM

Olaf Böhme was one of the most popular Saxon cabaret artists. His character of the "Drunk Saxon" delighted countless spectators. His "tax return" and "de Muddi" are unforgettable.

But how did it all come about? Why does the "Saxon" wear a tie? How exactly did it go with Muddi? Does a cuckoo clock fit in a memory box, and what does Paul actually do?

The answers to such, still open, questions will be provided this evening by a fictitious companion of Olaf Böhme. Even though they were not very close, they met again and again over the years. Mostly on a bench in the greenery, overlooking Dresden, with Margon water and Mettwurstbemme.

The companion has a lot to tell: of misunderstandings, arguments, reconciliations, probabilities, puzzles, fishing, and lingerie. The fact that many fond stories will be rummaged out of the plastic bag and brought to the stage, gives hope that a chuckle or laughter will roll through the room here and there, to make this evening what it should be:

A loving tribute to Olaf Böhme - an enjoyable indulgence in memories and anecdotes; a remembrance, laughter, and bowing. ...you know?

A resistance revue by Florian Fischer and Ensemble World premiere

Never since 1945 has a right-wing party in Germany received as much support as today. Since the 1980s, racist attacks on homes, synagogues, or shisha bars, the series of murders by the NSU, and daily right-wing motivated acts of violence have repeatedly torn large holes in the political self-understanding of a "denazified Germany." How can we resist the threat to our living situation posed by right-wing politics and violence? In order to understand what resistance of the future could look like, "Oppenhoff" dedicates itself to the fighters of the past and present. The story of the first antifascist mayor of Aachen, Franz Oppenhoff, who was murdered by Nazi attackers in 1945, intersects with untold stories of Jewish resistance fighters and current activists. Songs and protest songs give us courage against the intimidation and fear of right-wing narratives and strengthen our sense of a community without exclusion and violence. Don’t give up the fight!

"UNHEILIG is history... and the story continues"
They were magnificent, the UNHEILIG songs like "Born to Live", "Great Freedom", "Just Like You Were", "By Your Side" or "I'd Like to Visit You". They will remain unforgettable, along with many others. Not only were the songs magnificent, but it was also the Graf with his deep, warm, and touching voice and his multi-layered and profound lyrics that took one on an emotional rollercoaster ride.
Four young individuals, all professional musicians for years and admirers of the Graf, his music, and his lyrics, wanted to ensure that what they had experienced live so often would also be possible in the future. With great reverence for the original and love for the Graf's work, while also having the freedom to put their own stamp on his music, they founded SCHEINHEILIG.
SCHEINHEILIG, as a live band, perform many of the great UNHEILIG songs and also a few rare gems. All those amazing lyrics, all those great melodies, plus free goosebumps, wonderful memories, nostalgia, and simply a wonderful time. Just as they were: UNHEILIG, just as he was: the Graf
"UNHEILIG is history... and the story continues".
SCHEINHEILIG performs UNHEILIG.

BLOOD FIRE DEATH - A Tribute to Bathory
When on June 3, 2004, Thomas Forsberg aka Quorthon returned to the eternal halls of Valhalla, the metal community not only lost one of the most unique but also one of the most influential and pioneering figures of the scene. With his twelve self-produced albums, he profoundly co-founded and influenced black metal and Viking metal musically and lyrically. The unique atmosphere of his epic songs is brought to the stage by the men of BLOOD FIRE DEATH with passion and highest musical skill. Bathory could hardly be experienced live in a more authentic and atmospheric way since, except for a few exceptions in the early days, their works were never performed live. Whether it be the raw, unpolished harshness from the days of "Bathory", "The Return" and "Under the Sign of the Black Mark" or the unearthly beauty of "Hammerheart" and "Twilight of the Gods," BLOOD FIRE DEATH stages the songs as they were once conceived by their creator: fat guitars, background choirs, thundering drums, a roaring bass, epic keyboard carpets, authentic acoustic sounds, and then, depending on the style, brutal black metal screams or polyphonic clean vocals. Since 2010, BLOOD FIRE DEATH, hailing from the Karlsruhe/Heidelberg area, have been touring with a repertoire of nearly 35 songs from the Bathory universe and have earned a considerable following that celebrates the songs live with the band. "So much BATHORY spirit that cannot be surpassed in epicness, heaviness, and finesse," "I had tears in my eyes," "if Quorthon had ever played live, BLOOD FIRE DEATH would have been his band" are just some press reviews attempting to capture the unique live atmosphere of the band. For the past three years, the band has also offered a special acoustic program in which Bathory classics are performed in sometimes very unusual versions. If you want to hear Bathory live, you can't miss BLOOD FIRE DEATH.

South Of Hessen:
You asked for it... after years full of unbearable mediocrity, here comes the ultimate counterattack: South of Hessen combine the sound of Slayer with the coziness of southern Hesse. The fastest and meanest band in the world meets the fastest and meanest region: a despicable symbiosis of apple wine and antichrist, blood sausage and bloodlust, hand cheese and hardcore, spare ribs and Raining Blood. For those who do not shy away from the fires of hell and do not fear the "Blue Bock," the band will be the greatest revelation since the invention of "Metzelsupp" (ragout soup)...

Doors: 7:00 PM Start: 8:00 PM
