Semele
Last time this season!
Jupiter, the father of the gods, falls in love with Semele, the beautiful daughter of the king, just as she falls in love with him. Semele desires nothing more than to experience him in his true form: Only when he shows himself to her in all his divinity does she feel truly equal to him. Jupiter’s jealous spouse, Juno, only adds fuel to the fire of Semele’s ambition—but this leads her to ruin. The mortal Semele has nothing to protect her from Jupiter's searing presence. Semele must perish, while Jupiter goes on…

La Cage Aux Folles
(Ein Käfig voller Narren)
Last time this season!
“I am what I am, and what I am is no secret”—And it shouldn’t be! In 1983, the beat of freedom resounded from Broadway to London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin, and heralded the triumphant advance of a musical that makes everyone wishing for a life outside of petty conventions breathe a sigh of relief. A plea to trust one’s own feelings, not to pretend, and thus make the world a more colorful, beautiful and habitable place.

Farewell and Departure!
The party for all!
On this last evening in our house on Behrenstraße, we want to celebrate together with you: with our audience young and old, and all staff members! For more than 75 years we sang, played, marvelled, clapped, laughed, cried, worked, thought, and created. Now it’s out of the house, and out into the city.
