Get an exclusive first look at the original stage designs and costumes for the two productions that will kick off our new season in mid-September. We present the opening premieres of the Theater für Kinder and the Hamburger Kammeroper: Look forward to scenes from our child-friendly version of Mozart's famous Singspiel "The Abduction from the Seraglio" and Donizetti's humorous opera "Don Pasquale." Artistic Director Marius Adam will guide you through the program and take you on a musical journey to a distant island and a jewelry store.

The wealthy jeweler Don Pasquale wants to marry one last time in his old age. He needs a wife – preferably young, fresh, and extremely wealthy, but undemanding and modest. He wants to forbid his nephew Ernesto from marrying the penniless young widow Norina.Good advice is now expensive. Dr. Malatesta, both Ernesto's best friend and Don Pasquale's confidant, hatches a plan to help the young lovers achieve marital bliss and the inheritance due to them. His supposed "sister" Sofrina – in reality, Norina in disguise – is palmed off on Don Pasquale as a shrewish wife and, with great acting talent and the active support of Ernesto and Malatesta, can take her fate into her own hands. A delightful chaos ensues.Donizetti's masterpiece "Don Pasquale" represents the pinnacle of his compositional output. With a brisk tempo, plenty of wit, and lightness, the bel canto comedy transports the audience into a bizarre and comical chamber play.

An exclusive wellness resort awaits a distinguished guest: the Elector has announced his arrival. Amidst the spa, garden, and relaxation areas, staff and guests are thrown into a frenzy – because where relaxation is promised, old lies, false pretenses, and secret desires suddenly surface. The nature and environmental activist Adam, his fiancée Christel, the heavily indebted Count Stanislaus, the self-assured Baroness Adelaide, and the scheming resort manager Weps become entangled in a game of disguise, deception, and false appearances. The Electress also arrives incognito – and uses the resort's stage to bring truth, love, and responsibility to light. A modern operetta about appearance and reality, about power, morality, and the surprising power of honesty – with humor, music, and a happy ending where character, not titles, counts. With its popular tunes like "Grüß euch Gott, alle miteinander" or "Schenkt man sich Rosen in Tirol," Carl Zeller created a gem of the genre with his operetta, first performed in 1891, which has since steadfastly formed a cornerstone of the classical Viennese operetta repertoire. And it pays homage less to Viennese charm or Hungarian wildness, but lovingly and hilariously satirizes small-state German provincialism.
