Beneath the newly refurbished upper stage machinery, the latest production of Mozart's »Magic Flute« takes to the main stage of the Opera House in Leipzig on October 28, providing a treat for families and opera buffs alike. This rendition, created with director Matthias Davids, underscores the wit and pace of this popular stage fairy tale of the kidnapped Pamina, sung at Oper Leipzig by Samantha Gaul, who confronts her fate with great determination and poise. The matinée takes place on October 15 at 11 am, and a sampler will be shown on October 24 at 6:30 pm. Also in October, »Peter Grimes« with Brenden Gunnell in the title role as well as Mario Schröder's arguably most successful choreography »Chaplin« return to the Opera House stage.
Those with an appreciation for Mel Brooks' refreshingly sardonic humour can look forward to the US musical hit »The Producers« – premiering on October 14 at the Musikalische Komödie. A corrupt duo produces the worst musical the world has ever seen. Max Bialystock and Leo Blum are determined to use Hitler performers and trashy direction to guarantee a flop so they can make off with the sponsorship money for their Broadway revue. The production of this entertainingly abysmal parody of show business and National Socialism is taken over by Dominik Wilgenbus, best known in Leipzig as a director for his witty productions of »Frau Luna«, »Heidi« and »Zar und Zimmermann«.
