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.

By Maria Goos
Richard drinks too much, alienates his colleagues and directors, and now his premiere is at risk of failing. His ex-colleague Lies seems to be his last hope. Together, they stood on stage for 20 years and were the dream couple of the theater scene - professionally, because privately there was only a short affair. In the meantime, Lies lives as a doctor's wife in southern France, and Richard tries to win her back...

The most beautiful tradition during Christmas time

Heilige Nacht - Ludwig Thoma's story about the birth of Christ in unadulterated Bavarian dialect.

Boldly and sprightly interpreted by Petra Auer and Winfried Frey

Singing: Ensemble Singkultur
Music: Inge Reischl, Zither & Andi Stoll, Accordion


Now, folks, now let's close it up!
My song might be a bit old,
but it’s still lovely enough.
I believe you all will like it.
...
Joseph wasn’t given a bad deal either.
You think you could manage a bit of work,
then you’d get a nice document,
that would really lighten the tax burden!
Yes, scratch behind your ears,
you won’t get into trouble, my dear!
And payment was always made,
nobody would start with the state.
...
In the woods, it’s so quiet,
all paths are covered,
all paths are blocked,
no little trail is left.
The holy night is coming,
and the woods awaken,
the hares and deer look,
the stag watches over the snow.
...
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
And from the far, from the near
and from below to the highest heights,
and it soon gets loud, and sometimes it fades,
up above, and again it comes down.
Hallelujah!

Entrance: 18:30

A fairy tale for people aged 4 and up based on the story: “Heidelberger Schlossterrassen” by Sylvia Witt

What is more important? Baking or telling stories? Can cookies tell stories while stories bake cookies at the same time?

Anna wakes up in the middle of the night. She has forgotten something important: For the Christmas celebration at school, she was supposed to bake cookies. In desperation, she rummages through the baking books. Suddenly, Lilli the ghost whirls through the kitchen and offers her help. But how can a castle ghost help when it has a problem of its own?

'Ein Plätzchen für Lilli' is a sensory, wildly delightful Christmas fairy tale with an actress, a ghost, an accordion, and a shortcrust pastry that transforms into fragrant baked goods.

The fox is in a deep existential crisis due to his harmlessness. Not even the smallest bird is afraid of him. He has even become a vegetarian, albeit involuntarily. The she-wolf helps him devise a plan: the fox steals eggs on the farm to satisfy his appetite for meat with the hatching chicks. But the plan goes awry - the small, sweet chicks mistake him for their mommy! And the fox falls for their affection. What to do now? Especially since the she-wolf finally wants her share of the little chicks.

After Tabaluga found reason in the first part, he now embarks on another fantastic journey.

Long, long ago, dragons once lived and protected the world from the cold of the ice with the warmth of their fire. However, over time, the ice began to destroy all living things. Arktos, a terrible snowman, is intent on covering the world with ice. The old dragon Tyrion wants to prepare his young son Tabaluga for his predetermined task of protecting the world. However, Tabaluga must find the True Fire in order to put an end to Arktos' schemes. With the support of a magician, Tabaluga sets out to find the fire. He faces many dangers, such as the spider-woman Tarantula, and also encounters beautiful things. Tabaluga learns that the world, with all its good and evil, is wonderful and worth saving. Arktos tries to prevent Tabaluga from fulfilling his destiny by creating a beautiful creature made of pure ice, the girl Lilli. Lilli's sole task is to distract Tabaluga from his search for the True Fire. Tabaluga falls in love with Lilli as planned by Arktos, but through this, Tabaluga discovers a great and beautiful power: Love.

Tabaluga and Lilli is a fantastic live family experience. With great attention to the original, Tabaluga's adventures are once again transformed into a fairytale musical version for the whole family. Loving costumes and innovative stage designs bring the world of the little dragon to life. The well-known hits, including those by Peter Maffay, offer the best musical entertainment for boys and girls from the age of four, and for all those who want to bring the child within them back to life once more.

Just before the holidays, once again together with the whole family at the theater! The Kammeroper Köln, which has already celebrated several major successes in Schweinfurt, presents this musical fairy tale at the beginning of the Christmas holiday season.

The story of "Hänsel und Gretel" is well-known to almost everyone. With the fairy tale opera about the sibling pair who bravely and resolutely face an evil witch in the lonely forest, composer Engelbert Humperdinck created a timeless classic whose stage success continues to this day. Humperdinck expanded the fairy tale with the appearances of the Sandman and the Dew Fairy and created wonderfully melodic music that can beautifully set the mood for Christmas.

Timeless presents - The Lost Christmas Letters:

During the Advent season, some people reach for their fountain pens and write warm greetings to their loved ones far away.

A beautiful, old-fashioned tradition, as everyone enjoys receiving these Christmas letters.

However, unfortunately, many letters go missing every year. They disappear and never reach their intended recipients. Some are undeliverable, but cannot be returned to the sender either. They end up in a secret storage facility, where they wait for years to be rediscovered.

How exciting would it be to know the contents of these letters?! Who sent them? Who were they meant for? And what messages do they hold?

The ensemble of "Timeless" managed to get hold of a whole sack full of lost Christmas letters!

Since there has been no postal secrecy for a long time, we will open them together with the audience and dive into thrilling stories full of little bits of poetry, perhaps unveiling a hidden secret or two.

Become part of this unique revue, adorned with wonderful Christmas music, and join us not only in opening the letters but also in embracing the cozy Christmas season!

A playful heads-up:

The presented Christmas letters are, of course, fictional contents.

Duration:

2 x 50 minutes

Christmas atmosphere unfolds at the concert with Iris Lichtinger (flutes) and Marlis Neumann (harp). As "le duo sagette," they have put together a delightful selection of Christmas music of various origins and styles, allowing for tranquility shortly before Christmas Eve to enjoy the Christmas holiday.

Christmas 1843.

A clattering sound followed from down below, as if someone were dragging a heavy chain over the barrels in the wine merchant's cellar. Ebenezer Scrooge, the most merciless skinflint in London, receives a ghostly visit in his poorly lit, cold house. The ghosts of
Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come give him one last chance to change his greedy attitudes…
Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is one of the most popular Christmas stories for adults and children (from 10 years old)

Cast:
- Willem Veerkamp as Ebenezer Scrooge,
- Manuela Grabowski as the Narrator and (almost) all the ladies,
- Juliane Meckert as the ghosts and all the gentlemen
- Jascha Pampuch on the guitar and the chains.

Stepping Santas and rapping angels are back!

Audience and press agreed: Truly grand theater! While the audience demanded encores every night with standing ovations, the Hamburger Abendblatt stated: "Even a real gift for Christmas grumps" and "Escaping the Christmas stress cannot end more beautifully," as per Die Welt.

Theater is illusion – always. And Christmas is magical – sometimes. However, the grand Christmas show at the First Stage Theater brought magical illusion to the stage at the highest level. Sometimes enchanting and captivating, sometimes touching and teasing, but also cheeky and full of humor - around 50 students from the Stage School Hamburg virtuously played on the keyboard of emotions and showcased their dancing, acting, and musical skills in 26 Christmas acts.

Show length including intermission: 2 hrs., 15 mins.

Please understand that NO entry is possible after the start of the performance.
