ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

King of satire or “riot box” of the nation? The entertainer Harald Schmidt tested the level of humor in his viewers at the extreme ends. What is allowed to be laughed at has never played a role for the talk show host, whose intellect and evil tongue have dominated the late night of German-speaking television for years.
On Monday, May 2, at 7:30 p.m., the human and the fictional character Harald Schmidt throw themselves into the opera business with everything that entails. As a passionate organ player, trained church musician and actor, his affinity for musical theater was actually inherited from his professional cradle. Schmidt will (hopefully) not storm the opera stage as a great Bajazzo or Don Giovanni, but in his element he will discover the people behind the curtain who make opera possible in the first place and drag them into the light as part of a new round of talks.
What exactly is a répétiteur? What does our admission staff experience in the auditorium every evening? Why does the tenor also play the electric guitar? And why do all opera directors actually want to stage Wagner’s Ring?
