Papageno Musiktheater

In the first part of this special evening, Papageno Musiktheater performs famous arias, duets and scenes from Puccini's most beautiful operas with many vocal soloists. In the second part, the Papageno Ensemble presents the comedy "Gianni Schicchi" from Puccini's triptych as an opera play. With his own creation, theater director Hans-Dieter Maienschein has created a platform for the material of classical operas to be interpreted by actors and opera singers in a completely unique form in the evening program.

Part 1: Concert - Kammersängerin June Card leads the first part of the evening, which has the motto "Best of Puccini". She presents young, talented up-and-coming singers with the most beautiful arias, duets and scenes from famous operas by Giacomo Puccini.

Part 2: Gianni Schicchi - The Rascal from Florence is a musically grotesque comedy with music by Giacomo Puccini.
Buoso Donati is dead, died in the presence of all his relatives. The rumor that he had bequeathed his estate to a monastery leads the heirs to search for the will, which is then found and confirms their fears. In desperation, they bring the famously clever Gianni Schicchi into the house to solve their problem. The shrewd peasant triumphs over an entire greedy family clan to the amusement of the audience and robs them of their inheritance through double deception...

Duration approx. 120 minutes incl. interval.
