60 is the New 40
...Men's dreams of an Italo-Swabian
It's happening in 2025!
With 44 years of comedy experience, the 9th solo comedy program premieres.
“60 is the New 40”... Men's dreams of an Italo-Swabian.
Because the best years come after the good ones, and neither the dinosaurs nor the inhabitants of Pompeii could claim that.
Are the good years really sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll? Or rather a swimming pool, ice cream, and French fries?
When he was young, 60 was already old, really old. Today you think: Tom Cruise, Campino, Jim Carrey, and Roberto Capitoni, they're all over 60?
Is it because of the new titanium hip, Viagra, or the good care of the wives?
Daily countless offers, all of which end up in the spam folder, from guaranteed weight loss, to relief from prostatitis, to varicose vein products, don't help Roberto in this case either.
So what do you do now? Skin creams or straight to Botox?
He realizes that the invitations to round birthdays are decreasing at the same rate as funerals are increasing.
Besides, he's on the verge of getting a discount on train rides, which is more beneficial for a half-Swabian.

Daily glances at the pharmacy review or the preliminary pension information keep swinging him between fits of laughter and despair.
But Roberto wouldn't be Roberto if he didn't have a few simple tricks up his sleeve to look young again in no time. At least for a short time. Want an example?
Mixed orange juice and Blue Curacao, take a sip, put on a record, close your eyes, and suddenly you're 17 again and standing in the disco.
A bungee jump would never be on Roberto's bucket list, as he would fear giving up the spoon even in free fall.
But why are mostly rather life-shortening actions on there anyway?

And as if all that weren't enough, there's his uncle Luigi, who doesn't always necessarily help him. On the contrary. Every now and then, he puts Roberto in very absurd life situations, which may end faster than he would like.

Live stand-up comedy in 4D: See, Hear, Feel, Laugh!

And when it's Capitoni, it's famously Roberto inside.

Reception and bar open at 6:00 pm. Entrance to the hall from 6:30 pm.

The incredible guitar swallower Vicki Vomit bid farewell to the stage in 2020 with a spectacular farewell tour, which was abruptly interrupted by Corona. To this day, humanity wonders how a fake Mexican beer could be so contagious. And how Vicki Vomit managed to forcibly vaccinate all Germans with a health-damaging placebo, placing the blame on the government.

But Vicki Vomit wouldn’t be Vicki Vomit if new ideas didn’t take hold of him once again. And so, new nonsense threatens once more! Vicki Vomit is embarking on a reading tour with his first novel "Mein Klampf".

And not only that, his caregiver is dragging his guitar along on the tour, which means that the intonation of some of the master's most dreadful works is also to be feared.

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.

Eight Classical Concerts

Tickets may still be available at local box offices or at the door.

That Olaf Schubert is one of the greats, nationally and internationally. Well...: That is considered indisputable. After all, he not only initiated the turning point in the East, but also watched all the other upheavals in the world live on TV. But now, now is the time for Schubert: the time of the rebels!

Schubert has always been a rebel. He never swam with the current! But also not against it. A Schubert swims alongside the current. On dry land, because there he can walk. He is above all a gentle rebel. And one with perspective. One who does not intentionally go below the belt, but feels at home there. After all, these body regions have now become part of the daily life of an enlightened young man of his age. One who may call for an immediate revolution - but not before 11:00 am, his beauty sleep is more important.

Like hardly any other, Olaf also understands how to take the concerns and troubles of women seriously. On stage, he always gives his all. Moves mountains. Just to fill in ditches with it. One could also put it more simply: Schubert flattens everything! By talking, singing, and occasionally dancing. So it is hardly surprising that the overwhelming majority of his numerous female fans are now women.

Nevertheless, Olaf remains modest: While other artists seem to explode and set off fireworks after fireworks, Schubert is content to simply fizzle out. He therefore considers it premature to compare himself to Madonna or Justin Bieber. He still has a lot to do: to go on a big "Time for Rebels" tour. Generously as he is, Olaf sells tickets to almost everyone because experiencing him live is a human right!

Fonse Doppelhammer - “Sau witzig”

Fonse is the (double) hammer! Fonse Doppelhammer is a Lower Bavarian comedy cabaret artist. He is known for his videos that have been clicked millions of times on his social media channels, as a frequent guest star and winner of the incomparable comedy show "Sehr Witzig!?" on PULS4 in Austrian television, and as the champion of the joke casting show "Bayerns beste Witze" 2019 on Bayerischer Rundfunk. In 2023, he will be delighting Monika Gruber's guests as the opening act of her show. But the full load of cabaret, jokes, and humor can be found in his show "Sauwitzig," which he is touring in Bavaria and Austria in 2023. During his performance, he charmingly gives insights into his life, extensively talks about his childhood and youth in Straubing, Lower Bavaria, and humorously sheds light on his marriage and family life. Fonse embodies various characters and skillfully guides the audience through his comedy program filled with jokes and punchlines. A highlight is his alter ego Grabner Karl, a very thirsty grave digger who can no longer make ends meet due to new burial methods such as cremation and especially composting ("de Greana forderns immer mehr"). Through advertising and merchandising actions like distributing flyers and establishing a grave chapel, he speculates on additional income. What makes his program special is that Fonse Doppelhammer also manages to convey a message alongside his jokes: Think positively, stay calm, and preserve your sense of humor in all situations, or in the words of Grabner Karl, "Who doesn't love, who doesn't laugh, who never makes small mistakes. Who doesn't eat well and drink at the same time, is already a dead man alive."

Welcome to the realm of knowledge in the Baroque era: Stepping onto creaking floorboards into the quiet grandeur of our historical library hall, one is immediately enveloped by the collective knowledge of the Early Modern period. Like stage sets in a Baroque theater, the original bookshelves jut into the space, housing around 50,000 books from all fields of knowledge. Behind unassuming book spines lie remarkable treasures, such as the first German Bible printed in America.

At the end of the 17th century, the orphanage's library was established as one of the first public libraries in Germany. Primarily through donations, book exchanges, and their own publications, the library grew so rapidly that within a few years, it was comparable to significant German university libraries. In 1728, it received its own building, which is considered the oldest surviving secular library structure in Germany. Not only in recent times has the library been visited by guests and researchers from around the world: Albrecht von Haller, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe all admired its bibliophilic treasures. We present a selection of them for you in rotating cabinet exhibitions in the former reading room of the library.

10 am - 5 pm

The Art and Natural History Chamber is considered the oldest German museum room. It was established by August Hermann Francke for educational purposes and is now once again set up according to the original museum concept of the 18th century in its historical location in the attic of the Historical Orphanage.

Eighteen richly decorated collection cabinets house approximately 3000 natural specimens, curiosities, and artifacts. They provide a unique impression of a Baroque cabinet of curiosities. Unlike modern museums, the chamber follows an encyclopedic collecting approach. A distinction is made between natural specimens and artifacts. The natural specimens are divided into rocks, plants, and animals, while the artifacts are categorized into visual arts, calligraphy, coins, everyday culture, and clothing. The goal was to create a mirror image of the world: a microcosm that made the macrocosm as the wonderful creation of God tangible.

In a series of events, art projects take place around the Art and Natural History Chamber. In the so-called "Contemporary Reflections on the Art and Natural History Chamber," foundations invite artists to engage in an artistic dialogue with the chamber.

Palace-like, the orphanage rises on Franckeplatz. Then as now, it is the centerpiece of the Francke Foundations. Erected in 1698 as the first building of the school city, it represents a new facet of European Baroque, combining confident representation without extravagant ornamentation and setting the tone for orphanage architecture.

Today, the orphanage is our museum and cultural center. Right from the start, two permanent exhibitions guide you through the history of the foundation and the global impact of Pietism. On the first floor, the former prayer and singing hall surprises with its bright architecture. Today, it enjoys an excellent reputation as a concert hall due to its fantastic acoustics. In the adjacent conference rooms, a photo exhibition showcases the impressive renovation work since the foundations were reestablished in 1991. The second floor is reserved for our changing special exhibitions, which provide insight into important themes of the foundation's history from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Passing through the art and natural history collections in the attic, you reach the balcony via a narrow wooden staircase. Here, a wide view opens up over the impressive ensemble with school buildings from three centuries. There is also a splendid panorama of the Old Town of Halle from here. In the basement, children can explore their own paths in the Krokoseum.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

What power does the word have? For Halleschen Pietismus, the word was of central importance. On the ground floor of the Historical Orphanage, we show you how August Hermann Francke's reform movement could spread around the world.

Francke developed central reformative goals of Martin Luther's with Halleschen Pietismus. His approach was as clear as it was revolutionary: Every person should find God through their own Bible reading. However, for this to happen, everyone - boys and girls alike - had to learn to read, everyone should be able to afford their own Bible and it should be printed in their own native language. Therefore, Francke established schools for all social classes, printed millions of German-language People's Bibles, and created an international network through which the Bible was translated into many other languages. His educational initiative allowed a broad population to engage with the word. In the 18th-century evangelical parsonages, the authors of the Romantic and Enlightenment periods were highly regarded. A culture of self-reflection spread in Pietism, which was reflected in diaries and personal testimonies, giving us remarkable insights into the spiritual life of people of that time. Symbolically, the power of the word is also evident in the meticulously restored pulpit from the Church of St. Ulrich in Halle, where Francke preached from 1715 and which you can admire in the exhibition.

10:00 am - 5:00 pm

4 talers and 16 groschen are considered the founding capital of the Francke Foundations. How an unparalleled school city grew from this unexpected donation to a simple pastor in Glaucha can be discovered on the ground floor of the Historical Orphanage. A multimedia installation and numerous extraordinary objects will transport you into the fascinating founding and impact history of Francke's work. Because what began with a school for the poor and an orphanage, developed in a few decades into a true reform project that was based on education: Over 2,000 students learned in various schools, specially constructed economic buildings, a hospital, and a pharmacy guaranteed the care of over 3,000 people on the premises, unique cultural-historical collections in the library and chamber of wonders were established, and Francke's ideas were spread within and outside Europe. August Hermann Francke wanted nothing less than a "world change through personal change." Discover everything he set in motion through this.

10:00 am - 5:00 pm
