Altenburg Theater: Colonal comeback after the renovation crisis!

Altenburg, Deutschland - A thunderstorm of the emotions sparked the "Riemannoper" in Altenburg! The premiere took place in the middle of the ruins of the historical theater, which has been shut down since 2021 due to a catastrophic water slump and dangerous damage. The architecture prudence, which was to be celebrated for 150 years, is a well -maintained shadow of himself. The way to the improvised place of the event leads through the restricted fences and over gravelly areas - a harsh contrast to the festive performance that filled the chairs in the listed heating house.

The artistic performance under the direction of Changmin Park - a wild evening full of didactic presence and dizzying enthusiasm! The four soloists, casual attracted and yet radiant, bring explosive energy to the stage. Köhler has put together a smorgasbord of nostalgic treasures for the decoration that pays homage to the old spirit of Altenburg. And while the piano is wild through the musical fragments, the profound core of the "Riemannoper" reveals itself: a bizarre economy of words that combines everything that singers should know! From arien patterns to historical curiosities - not only sang here, but also cleverly joked and shamelessly celebrated quotation treasures.

a dance of rivalry

The rivalry between the primal ads Julia Gromball and Franziska Weber ensures tingling tension! Johnson's subtle allusions to clichés and rivalries arrive very well and heat up the mood. Ervin Ahmeti, who stands out as a powerful tenor, shows what he is made of, while Kai Wefer is the balancing end as a baritone. This cleverly staged competition exposes the tensions in the creative creative process and offers a fascinating spectacle of vocal arts.

At its core, Johnson confesses that the drifting apart of ideal and reality, vision and pragmatism hovers like a shadow over the staging. The actors fill the stage with life and lead the spectators through the ups and downs of musicology. At the end of the evening, the applause has no end - a powerful sign of the hope of an artistic renaissance in Altenburg!
