FULL Störtebeker (Pott) Lübeck 2019 Vollberg Sandberg Krieger Bachmann

Klaus Störtebeker, the legendary pirate and leader of the “Likedeeler” returns to the harbor shed. Strong men, rough seas and a little love – in Gabriele Pott’s youth opera of the same name (text: Micha Rügen), the pirate story of the only important German pirate is retold with musical and dramatic means. The maritime ambience offers the ideal backdrop to artistically bring the adventures of the legendary privateer and his friends Gödeke Michels and Magister Wigbold onto the stage. His heroic deeds are famous and notorious, out of a passionate love of justice he is said to have taken from the rich and given to the poor. Of course, there are also battles and boarding on the high seas with the large children’s and youth choir, in the elaborate stage setting until the touching finale there is fighting, dancing and singing in the best pirate style. The flirtation with the beautiful lady-in-waiting Okka, who is employed by the enemy Queen Margarethe, should not be missing. Experience first-hand the joy of pirate life, the longing for space and the sea and the incredible energy of the struggle for freedom, performed by soloists, orchestras and a large children’s and youth choir – a piece for the whole family.
