Dr. Mark Benecke - Mord im Museum
9/25/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

Criminal biologist DR. MARK BENECKE addresses exciting questions in a quirky to sometimes disgusting way, questions that one might sometimes prefer not to have answered: For example, why are the fingernails of the bloated male corpse so long, and what type of maggot is simultaneously crawling out of his mouth corner? Thus, it is not death that is BENECKE's job, but life after death. When the maggots unmask the murderer, he has done everything right... Follow him into a shocking and fascinating world. Through BENECKE's analysis of various insects found on corpses, countless criminals worldwide have already been brought to justice. However, the sight of some photos can easily turn the viewer's stomach. Because what is shown is not the usual images, but photographs of severely disfigured corpses. Only through detailed close-ups can the truly interesting questions be clarified. The 42-year-old from Cologne was trained by the FBI and operates internationally. BENECKE has established specialist laboratories in Colombia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Numerous radio and TV appearances testify to the great public interest in his work. During the "Lecture Criminal Biology," the audience gets an insight into the work of one of the most well-known and successful criminal biologists in the world...

Brüder - In a world created by a drunken god
10/11/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

Schauspiel von Drew Hayden Taylor in einer deutschen Übersetzung von Jan Meyer |
Landesbühnen Sachsen

Jason steckt mitten in den Vorbereitungen seines Umzugs von Toronto zurück in das First Nation Reservat, wo seine indigene Mutter lebt. Da steht plötzlich sein bisher unbekannter, nicht-indigener Halbbruder Harry vor der Tür. Der sucht verzweifelt nach einem geeigneten Nierenspender für den gemeinsamen Vater und Jason ist seine letzte Hoffnung.
Völlig überrumpelt von Harrys Forderung, lehnt Jason jede Verantwortung für das Schicksal eines Vaters ab, der ihn und seine Mutter sitzen ließ, als Jason zwei Monate alt war. Die darauffolgende Auseinandersetzung erschüttert nicht nur das jeweilige Vaterbild des anderen, sondern offenbart auch die unterschiedlichen Lebenswirklichkeiten der beiden Männer bezüglich ihrer Kultur und Identität.

Opernboogie - Ein Georg Kreisler Abend
10/12/2025 at 4:00 PM / Meißen

A Georg Kreisler Evening by Kai Anne Schuhmacher
State Theatres Saxony

Who doesn't know the famous OPERNBOOGIE by the poet, composer, and singer Georg Kreisler, who fundamentally understood himself as an anarchist? On this entertaining evening, an opera diva and a music critic clash in the bar on our small stage. The bartender tries to mediate, but will he succeed? In addition to the titular song and the song DER MUSIKKRITIKER, in which the protagonist admits to being completely unmusical, other absurdly profound and darkly humorous songs resonate, provoking thoughts about our time and world.

Playing time approx. 90 min

Ein Abend mit Henry Hübchen & Günther Fischer - Der Kulturtalk mit Robert Rauh
10/18/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

The KULTURTALK with Robert Rauh and musical accompaniment by Günther Fischer

He never wanted to become an actor and didn't want to end up in Hollywood either. What Henry Hübchen wanted instead was to "have fun at work." And for this joy of performance, his audience loves him. The renowned actor Henry Hübchen talks with host Robert Rauh about his eventful career - about theater, film, and music. The evening is musically accompanied by the singer, musician, and composer Günther Fischer, who composed numerous film scores for productions with Marlene Dietrich, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Manfred Krug, Robert Mitchum, and Tony Curtis, among others. Henry Hübchen is rarely seen in talk shows, but here he faces the questions of the host, moderator, and author Robert Rauh, who most recently published the two books "Fontane's Five Castles" and "Fontane's Women." The audience can look forward to a highly entertaining and delightful evening with surprising insights and exciting views from the eventful life of Henry Hübchen.

Tom Pauls - De säk’sche Lorelei
10/21/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

DIE SÄGGS’SCHE LORELEY
It is played by DIE ELBLAND PHILHARMONIE SACHSEN

Whether WILHELM TELL, ROMEO AND JULIET or FAUST - wonderfully comical and disrespectfully, Lene Voigt appropriated the literary classics into the Saxon dialect. Tom Pauls interprets the texts of the Saxon nightingale in his unmistakable way.
The Elbland Philharmonie Sachsen, conducted by honorary conductor Ekkehard Klemm, fittingly performs the great works of musical world literature from Gounod to Rossini, from Wagner to Prokofiev.
Experience an evening between classicism and parody, from slapstick to pathos ...
In any case, cheerful and moving.
Enjoy!

The Glory of Queen - One of the most brilliant Queen Tribute Shows
10/24/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

THE GLORY OF QUEEN

performed by MerQury

Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. "We are the Champions" sang the unique Freddie Mercury already in the 70s - and Freddie, the diva of rock, leaves behind an enormous popularity with millions of fans. So, in 2009, the readers of the magazine "Classic Rock" voted him the best singer of all time. But his qualities as a composer were also extraordinary. This is proven by world hits like: "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Crazy Little Thing", "Don't Stop Me Now" and many more.

MerQury is one of the few groups performing worldwide in front of enthusiastic audiences. Many tours have taken them through Europe and North America. Since their founding in 1991, MerQury has played well over 1,500 shows in 16 different countries. The band's musicians were also key players in the successful musical "We are the champions", celebrated by more than 150,000 fans across Europe. In this context, the concept of MerQury with a mix of deceptively authentic interpretations of Queen songs and their own creative stylistics is fully realized. The five full-blooded musicians convince even die-hard Queen fans and offer the audience an extraordinary concert experience.

The successful combination of brilliant sound, elaborate light show with explosive pyrotechnic effects, colorful costumes, and lots of audience interaction make every MerQury concert incomparable. As the frontman, Montreal-born Johnny Zatylny not only visually convinces in the role of "Freddie Mercury". Above all, the singer excels vocally in difficult passages of world-famous Queen songs. As an extravagant entertainer, he wins the audience's sympathy in no time.

Be inspired by an elaborate stage show, the unique Queen sound, live-played on authentic instruments, and supported by an authentic light show. Take a journey back to the 70s and 80s, the great era of Queen and their unforgettable anthems. Experience emotional moments, let yourself be "rocked", and celebrate the incomparable Freddie Mercury and his band with this fantastic show.

Von Casanova bis Pompadour - Unterhaltungskonzert der Elbland Philharmonie Sachsen
10/25/2025 at 4:00 PM / Meißen

The Elbland Philharmonie Sachsen will perform.

In this entertainment concert, you will experience orchestral works as well as excerpts from operettas MADAME DUBARRY and MADAME POMPADOUR by Karl Millöcker, Leo Fall, and Theo Mackeben.
Coming from the poorest of backgrounds, Madame Dubarry managed to become the official mistress of the French king. This rise to the highest circles of society has a similarity to Casanova. The Venetian became famous for his escape from the lead chambers of Venice – and his love for countless women. To celebrate the 300th birthday of the adventurer, diplomat, and gambler Casanova, works by Paul Lincke and Gerhard Winkler will be performed. The concert, centered around romances, will be completed with compositions by Josef & Eduard Strauss, Johann Strauss (son), and Richard Eilenberg.
SOLOISTS Patrick Rohbeck (baritone and moderation)

THOMAS STELZER & FRIENDS A TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS

The band is characterized by the style and the unmistakable way in which THOMAS STELZER combines singing and feeling. His musicians excel at supporting him unobtrusively yet effectively. The drummer usually accompanies the boogies with "brush sweeping" on the small drum: the "pep" that this music gains from it is astonishing and quickly encourages the listeners to tap along. Stelzer's smoky blues voice gives even covered songs a unique touch. Many titles are written by him and are inspired by various influences such as Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Dr. John, Ray Charles, Vince Weber, up to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Joe Cocker, or Buddy Guy.
Quote from Stelzer: “Trying to sing a Ray Charles song is one thing, but never really managing to do it is another; being inspired by him is the best...”. According to this understanding, the trio's concerts are relaxed, groovy, independent, and professional.

Richard Strauss and jazz? If anyone can build a musical bridge here, it's Günter Baby Sommer. THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA forms the musical foundation, the SUNRISE at the beginning of this magnificent orchestral work is world-famous. Sommer, one of the most important representatives of contemporary European jazz, and his fellow musicians approach this music by Richard Strauss loud & quiet, painting with tones and creating musical images that tell stories.

Gran Orquesta Carambolage - 14 Jahre - Das Konzert
11/7/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

What would Tango be without the bandoneon?

This mysterious Saxon instrument became inseparably linked with the Argentine tango around 1900. It gives the Tango its soul. Without this instrument, the Tango surely wouldn't have been declared a World Heritage. The orchestra "Tango Carambolage", founded in 2011, is an initiative by the well-known bandoneon player Jürgen Karthe. His desire to breathe new life into the original sound of the old Argentine tango orchestras gave rise to this exceptional ensemble.

The currently unique formation of 10 bandoneons, 10 violins, piano, double bass, tuba, and vocals gives us a glimpse of how energetic Tango sounded during its peak in Buenos Aires, living on through its uniqueness, authenticity, and the enthusiasm of its young protagonists. Let yourself be seduced into the analog world of days gone by and feel the vibrancy of Tango and its instrument - the bandoneon.

Anatevka - Der Fiedler auf dem Dach
11/8/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

ANATEVKA DER FIEDLER AUF DEM DACH

Musical by Joseph Stein | Music by Jerry Bock | Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick | German by Rolf Merz and Gerhard Hagen
State Theatres Saxony

1905 in pre-revolutionary Russia during the Tsarist era. "If I were a rich man," dreams the Jewish milkman Tevye, who, in addition to financial worries, has problems with his daughters, who rebel against the strict traditions that hold the world of the shtetl together. And not only from within does danger threaten the Jewish community. In the midst of the wedding of Tevye's daughter Tzeitel, who has insisted on marrying the man of her choice, Russian soldiers devastate the village, which the Jews also have to leave within a few days.
It is the captivating, moving, and comforting music, where Eastern tradition meets Western modernity, the "laughter amidst tears," that made the 1964 musical a worldwide success.

Das Südtiroler Musikfest - mit Michael Hirte, Die Ladiner & Graziano
11/9/2025 at 4:00 PM / Meißen

While in South Tyrol, autumn is underway with Törggelen and many music festivals, the well-known musicians - “Die Ladiner” and “Graziano” from the Dolomites - are preparing for the South Tyrolean Music Festival in Germany. As support, none other than the “Man with the Harmonica” Michael Hirte will be there to delight his audience with enchanting instrumental melodies. In 2008, this artist had his breakthrough when he emerged as the winner of the TV show: “Das Supertalent”.

Die Ladiner from the Gröden Valley are undoubtedly the heroes of folk music. Joakin from St. Ulrich and Otto from St. Christina have already made music history with their careers and sparked a wave of enthusiasm for their touching music throughout the German-speaking world. Their music hints at the unique natural beauty of the Dolomites, with the mountains often being a central theme of their songs.

Graziano Facchini, born in Bolzano, was already on stage at the age of 4 at the biggest children’s competition "IO ZECCINO D´ ORO" with great success. In 2007, Graziano was awarded his first "Golden Record" as a composer. Since then, Graziano has released 11 albums, 10 of which are in German. His concerts take him annually to 9 different countries. The friends of his unique music, his Italian charm, and his down-to-earth attitude with a lot of heart are enthusiastic and enchanted. After 30 years of diligent, tireless, and successful work, Graziano was honored with the first "Golden CD" as a singer on the occasion of his 3rd music festival in Riva del Garda in 2019.

The South Tyrolean Music Festival will take place starting January 2025 at selected venues, bringing the carefree lightness from the land of the Dolomites. Songs and melodies will arise that will warm your hearts.

Hamlet - Prinz von Dänemark
11/14/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

Tragedy by William Shakespeare
State Theaters Saxony

Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, returns to the royal court and is bewildered by the situation he finds. His father has died from a snake bite, Claudius, the brother of the deceased, has ascended to the throne and married Hamlet's mother Gertrude. Gripped by his own grief, he wanders through the castle until the ghost of his father appears and reveals to him that the snake that poisoned him was his own brother and commands him to take revenge.
Hamlet is torn between anger and sorrow, plans for revenge and doubt, and even his beloved Ophelia cannot free him from the spirals of thought.
Appearance and reality, reality and madness increasingly blur, and the tragedy takes its inevitable course toward the ruin of the entire royal family.

Lars Redlich - Ein bischen Lars muss sein
11/15/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

LARS REDLICH EIN BISSCHEN LARS MUSS SEIN

He is basically the Thermomix among small artists: LARS REDLICH sings, swings, jumps from soprano arias to hip-hop, impersonates the rocker, the diva and hilariously rewrites world hits! His own songs are filled with imagination and grand humor, such as the song about "Eike the mayfly," which cannot reproduce because one-night stands have a bad reputation even in the animal kingdom. It's delightful how the musical star (Grease, The Rocky Horror Show, Disney in Concert, and many more) pokes fun at himself, improvises a medley of requested songs at the piano with the audience, or ponders the necessity of the five blades on his razor.

The events of the ninth of November in the years: 1848, 1918, 1923, 1938, 1939, 1989 – yes, and also 1967 suggest: Those who do not learn the lessons of their history must repeat them.”

GLAD WE ARE ALIVE. Holding on to elemental truths, in defiance of all ideological parceling. Celebrating life as a victory against the destructive, against wars and demagoguery.

Tatjana Meissner - Der Sack ist zu
12/5/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

Between the annual first presentation of domino tiles in the supermarket in September and the removal of the last bare Christmas tree from Germany's sidewalks in March, we stuff ourselves into a physical and mental coma, until no one knows anymore whether they are a man, woman, or gender-fluid, and food seems perhaps better than sex. Everyone is left traumatized: exhausted, hungover, and laden with guilt. Comedienne Tatjana Meissner offers in her new show humor- and hormone-therapeutic life assistance for all who can only survive the endless Christmas season through helpless fits of laughter and overflowing humor. Look forward to a Christmas angel with residual Catholic deposits in her personality, to a year-end winged figure with an antique demeanor, to a woman who makes the blood pressure monitor explode at every old, white, bearded man.

And when the cabaret artist Peter Flache pulls out the old clothes and the new poems from the shopping bag, it gets really lively. Everything is included: self-made scenes, home-baked verses, self-ironic songs, but also some bitter almonds. So gather your teeth and go for it!

The Christmas cult comedy by Patrick Barlow
with Tom Quaas and Peter Kube

With great enthusiasm, Theo and Bernhard play the Christmas legend, and since their enthusiasm knows no bounds, they take on all the roles themselves - the Archangel Gabriel, the grumpy carpenter Joseph, the frustrated housewife Mary, Roman tribunes, simple shepherds, and the wise men from the East. Of course, this leads to various mishaps that force the two actors into adventurous improvisations. Experience a theatrical fun that tells the Christmas story in a different way, with many surprises that are just part of this festive occasion.

Fröhlich & Ufer: Feixen im Advent - Von Pflaumentoffeln, Striezeln und Schwipsbögen
12/11/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

From Plum Tarts, Striezels, and Schwipsbögen
Christmas is supposed to be on the 24th again. Until then, we rush to the ultimate tip of the peak, have to finish everything at work, gather everything for home and freeze it, as if the world will end the day after the gifts are exchanged. Stop!
Take it easy, have fun, say wine. Best to have mulled wine. Let the Advent stress be a joke and laugh at all the others who still think the hamster wheel is a career ladder. The Dresden author Peter Ufer and guitarist Frank Fröhlich offer a cheerful Christmas prelude. Merry Christmas should be in Saxony! Humorous stories from plum tart to striezel are told by the author, encountering Christmas mice and Nikomann and crossing the Dresden Schwipsbogen with you until the Nutcracker sways around the Christmas tree.
Frank Fröhlich arranged twelve of the most beautiful Christmas songs for the guitar. Hard to believe there’s only one (or one) guitar playing! Merry Christmas should be in Saxony! Looking forward is still the greatest joy - Feixen in Advent!

The three want to take their audience into their lovely Christmas parlor. They share their favorite stories, celebrate Christmas rituals, and sing their favorite Christmas songs. This creates a festive atmosphere that appeals to both young and old alike. The result is a multifaceted musical journey through the most beautiful Christmas songs. It begins with German classics like "Silent Night" and leads to English hits like "White Christmas" and "Jingle Bells." The trio mixes in their own compositions, giving the evening a personal touch. The cozily designed stage set with a Christmas tree and a comfortable Christmas parlor enhances the festive mood and allows the audience to experience the excitement of Christmas up close, enchanting them with Christmas songs and stories. This evening delights families and music fans alike – Christmas spirit guaranteed! Stefanie Hertel's Christmas concerts have become a tradition over many years – together with her father Eberhard Hertel, who passed away in June 2024. He remains unforgettable and will lovingly be a part of the "Christmas Family." Stefanie Hertel is not only a singer and presenter; she has also gained experience as a musical performer and actress. Not only did she perform on stage in Hamburg in the world-famous musical "Mamma Mia," but she also created her own musical comedy "All of Paris Dreams of Love," with which she will be going on tour again in November 2025. Johanna Mross, who completed her pastry chef training in February, not only plays guitar but also impresses the audience with her quiet charm and clear, warm voice. Stefanie Hertel, Lanny Lanner, and Johanna Mross invite families, music fans, and all those who love the Christmas season to be a part of this unique tour.

Halleluja - Die Weihnachtsgeschichte
12/20/2025 at 4:00 PM / Meißen

When the shadows of evening fall and the winter storm sweeps icy winds through the left-Elbe valleys, the candlelight sparkles, and the wood in the fireplace crackles warmly. Now is the time to listen to Charles Dickens' Christmas story within the nearly thousand-year-old walls of Scharfenberg Castle.

On Christmas Eve in Victorian London, the stingy and hard-hearted moneylender Ebenezer Scrooge refuses his nephew's invitation to Christmas dinner as he does every year, mistreats his employee, and denies the orphanage the donation. In his lonely world, money has long triumphed over humanity.
At midnight, with the beginning of the witching hour, however, he receives unexpected and chilling visits from the ghost of his deceased business partner Jacob Marley, who is condemned to wander the world forever as a chain-laden, tormented spirit due to his greed and selfishness. He warns Scrooge of a similar fate and announces three more visits from the beyond. One after another, he is haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. They urgently show him how much happiness he has missed due to his insensitivity and cynicism and how much misery he has brought into the lives of others. They present him with the loneliness in which he will die if he does not change his life.
Will the nightly apparitions manage to warm the heart of the old grouch? And will Ebenezer Scrooge celebrate Christmas after all?
For nearly two centuries, this story has thrilled people of all generations around the world and warmed every heart with its inspiring message.

Thomas Förster will be seen as Ebenezer Scrooge, while Tom Quaas, known for his virtuosic versatility, plays all the other roles in the story. The third member of the ensemble is concert pianist Mirjana Rajic. In addition to acting and wonderful music, the atmosphere of the castle and theatrical elements such as projections, audio, and shadow play play a special role in this production.

Die Herkuleskeule - Nur die Harten komm' in Garten
12/29/2025 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

Three dropouts, trapped in a hut, without mobile network, without WIFI, without hope, but with plenty of time, search for the meaning of life and find wet socks. They hate each other, they love each other, they argue about raising children, about Putin and vegan dog food, the third world war, and the perfect rolling suitcase.

In this furious cabaret piece by Philipp Schaller and Michael Frowin, Beate Laaß, Hannes Sell and Mario Grünewald are unleashed on each other. Without a doctor and armed to the teeth with punchlines.

Tom Pauls & Band - Es war Ämal ...
1/19/2026 at 7:30 PM / Meißen

TOM PAULS & BAND ES WAR ÄMAL ...

A thousand times more beautiful than the fairy tales of our days are those from ancient times, when wishing really still helped. FROG KING, SLEEPING BEAUTY, HANSEL AND GRETEL, CINDERELLA … But in this program, the audience has never experienced Little Red Riding Hood or Rumpelstiltskin like this!
Actor and storyteller Tom Pauls tells, plays, sings, and dances the classics of the Brothers Grimm. The old tales are freshly interpreted, with wit, joy, and full of wonder. Naturally, the Saxon dialect, as well as many others, is not neglected.
To the text by Mario Süßenguth, electronic compositions and adaptations of well-known fairy tale scores resonate, paired with video projections, performed by the Freddie-Ommitzsch Studio Ensemble. Classics such as the overture to HANSEL AND GRETEL by Engelbert Humperdinck or themes from the film score for THREE HAZELNUTS FOR CINDERELLA are brought into the present with synthesizers, samplers, and drum machines. Kraftwerk and Tomita send their regards!
