Introduction to the concert evening

Playing with words, punchlines, and auditory delight, Cornelius Obonya and the Austrian Salonists present verses from the unique Robert Gernhardt. In the precious, humorous, but also thoughtful texts and poems by the satirist Gernhardt, the audience is encouraged to engage in fine reflection, hard introspection, and radical comedy. Cornelius Obonya seemingly effortlessly brings out the multifaceted nature of these poems in every line, in every syllable, playing more than reciting. The Gernhardt poems inspire him to showcase his acting prowess. The Austrian Salonists present a colorful array of fine and energized European salon music by Erik Satie, Harald Saeverud, Kurt Weill, Sergei Prokofiev, Alexander Novikov, Alexander Scriabin, Alain Romans, Nino Rota, Martti Innanen, and Henry Theel.

What is captivating is that the master of high comedy seamlessly blends humorous nonsense and heartfelt lyricism into a harmonious wordplay art form. Since the early 1980s, Gernhardt has been publishing poems, increasingly recognized by critics as a significant poet. Today, he is considered one of the most important contemporary poets in the German language.

Doctor Faust (re) -lapses, for all his life he has sought knowledge and wisdom, but despite everything, he does not feel like he has truly achieved anything or even knows what matters in life. He curses reason and science, when the devilishly attractive Mephistopheles crosses his path and offers the Doctor to satisfy his hunger for knowledge and experience. In return, Faust promises him his soul. He becomes enchanted and entertained, rejuvenated and in love, but definitely not more calm and composed...

After numerous guest appearances in Vienna, Germany, and Switzerland, the captivating combination of drama and puppet play by Nikolaus Habjan offers all Goethe connoisseurs, Goethe enthusiasts, and the curious, all classic fans, and friends of reinterpretation the opportunity once again to come face to face with Faust (Daniel Doujenis) to confront the truly big questions and the destructive game of Mephisto (Manuela Linshalm) - no holds barred.

Schneekönigin - das Musical

Between dream world and reality: In the musical highlight "Schneekönigin", the audience becomes part of an exciting adventure with magical beings and unlimited possibilities. Specially composed musical songs, plenty of humor, and lots of heart create a unique live experience for the whole family!

A modern fairy tale to melt away
The Theater Liberi stages the well-known fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen as a modern musical adaptation. The professional musical ensemble tells the story of the loneliness of an outsider and her desire for admiration and acceptance, but also of courage and unconditional friendship. This contrast is also reflected in the stage design, which blurs the boundaries between fantasy and reality. Musically, the audience is taken on a rapid journey through different genres with grand arrangements, complemented by impressive choreographies and exceptional lighting design.

Adventure in snow and ice
Gerda and Kay are best friends and inseparable since childhood. The two lead a completely normal life until one day a winter storm approaches their city. That evening, Gerda's mother tells them for the first time the story of a magical queen, the ruler of snow and ice. When Kay mysteriously disappears shortly after, Gerda sets out to find him. She lands in a mysterious world where anything seems possible. Suddenly, Gerda is in the midst of an adventure where she meets funny characters, makes an eccentric acquaintance, and falls into the hands of a quirky gang. Luckily, she is not alone and can count on unexpected help. But time is running out and Gerda must muster all her courage to save Kay from the icy world of the Snow Queen...

Ensemble Aphkhazeti

Georgian State Ensemble APHKHAZETI with live choir and orchestra.

APHKHAZETI is an extraordinary combination of Georgian dance deeply rooted in the tradition of the country, as well as modern choreography and music. It is a group with an almost 100-year history, officially founded in 1931. The group constantly tours the world, bringing the beauty of Georgian culture - tradition, folklore, and incredible energy - closer to the audience.

The war in Abkhazia and the subsequent Russian occupation of the entire region forced the artists to move to Tbilisi in 1992. Despite the difficulties, APHKHAZETI maintained its character, skills, and unique color!

In March 2021 - with the arrival of the young and talented artistic director, the legendary Bachana Chanturia - an exciting phase in the group's history began. For years, he was one of the main soloists of the Georgian National Ballet Sukhishvili. He used his experience and talent to create new choreographies for traditional dances. He invited well-known Georgian composers, together they prepared an original musical accompaniment, and this program - Choreonicon - will be presented in Poland!

APHKHAZETI features traditional fragments of Georgian music in a completely new version, played by a live orchestra. It also includes spectacular dances from different regions in the interpretation of the legendary Bachana Chanturia!

The innovation was so groundbreaking that the group performed in many regions of Georgia over the past two years and also gave concerts beyond its borders. Ethnicity, ballet, and modernity - a captivating show that has never been seen in Poland before!

The duration of the concert is 2 hours.

Two decades full of music, friendship, and unforgettable moments on and off stage.

As an artistic heavyweight with feather-light compositions in tow, the ensemble has long been performing on the world's big concert stages. Their performances have taken them from Scandinavia to Egypt and from the USA back to the beautiful Wachau. In hundreds of concerts from the Elbphilharmonie to the Vienna Concert Hall, from Stanford University to the rustic inn hall, Federspiel developed its own musical language in the tension between tradition and modernity and established itself as one of the most innovative sound bodies of the European brass music scene.

With new compositions in the typical Federspiel sound, but of course also with favorite pieces and anecdotes from the past, Federspiel celebrates its anniversary as a party for itself and its audience.

Together looking back, indulging in memories, and still joyfully embracing the future!

AUSVERKAUFT - Max Müller & Volker Nemmer

Max Müller Baritone & reciter
Volker Nemmer Piano

"Love is a celestial power" is a well-known quote from the operetta "The Gypsy Baron" by Johann Strauss. An exhilarating and humorous composition, in which love is praised as a divine force and serves as the theme for Max Müller's latest lieder evening, celebrating its premiere in Carinthia.

Love has always inspired artists and composers. Max Müller and Volker Nemmer combine music, literature, and passion to create unique programs that captivate audiences. The duo masterfully brings this emotion to life in their concerts.

Hermann Leopoldi not only created evergreens but also beautiful love songs, his music touched the hearts of many. His love songs such as "Wenn der Herrgott net will", "I hab di gern", "In der Bar zum Krokodil", "I lieg im Bett und denk an di" are like a touch to the soul.

Roberta Flack, a talented American singer and songwriter, has written and interpreted some beautiful love songs. Her soulful voice and timeless hits touch music lovers around the world. In the 100th year of his death, the cultural department of the city of Villach in cooperation with the neuebuehnevillach presents an evening in honor of Franz Kafka with a staged reading and presentation of Janko Ferk's "Franz. Ein Stück".

One year after the writer's death, five women close to Franz Kafka meet at the house of Kafka's bourgeois parents in the center of Prague. These are Ottla Kafka, Franz Kafka's favorite sister, Dora Diamant, his life companion in the last months of his life, Felice Bauer, his fiancée whom he never married, Julie Wohryzek, his last fiancée, and Milena Jesenská, the first translator of his texts into Czech and pen pal. They are all intertwined in various ways by a difficult love for Kafka, not least because he was "too little simple".

Janko Ferk works and lives in Klagenfurt. He is a lawyer, honorary professor of literary studies at the Alpen-Adria University Klagenfurt and a writer. He has published more than forty books to date. He has received numerous awards and honors for his literary and scientific works.

Introduction to the concert evening

Music that explores the contrasts between darkness and light, calmness and awakening enables a powerful language to convey emotions and images. Aleksandar Marković and the Croatian Radio Symphony Orchestra combine various compositions to create a wonderful program that will evoke a wide range of sensations.

The opera "The Iron Forge" by Croatian composer Blagoje Bersa explores human emotions and conflicts in a passionate, powerful musical portrayal. The song was considered by Richard Strauss as the most personal and intimate genre that would accompany him throughout his life.

Peter I. Tchaikovsky's Letter Scene from the opera "Eugen Onegin" has captured the hearts of audiences. The music reflects the inner conflicts and unrequited love of the main character Tatiana for Onegin, expressing both longing and despair.
The impressive composition "Fountains of Rome" is a powerful musical portrait of the Roman fountain landscape and a highlight in Respighi's work. A true masterpiece.

"Le Poème de l'Extase" is an impressive, bold, and visionary orchestral work by the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. It is a powerful testament to his creative genius.

BRINGING THE LEGEND TO LIFE

The Voice - The Feeling - The Passion is the motto of the magnificent 90-minute Rock & Music Show featuring all of Mercury and Queen's hits.

For Straßer, 50 years of Austropop are indeed a reason for a very personal "Tour de Force": "'Pinch me, I think I'm dreaming,' my father thought when he first saw my mother. A few years later it was 'Live Is Life' and I was born in 1984. At that time, 'Fürstenfeld' was number 1 - even in Innsbruck. What song did you cuddle to at ski camp? For me, it was 'Don't call me out' - unfortunately, I no longer have his phone number. And did you know that the original song of Austropop 'Like a Bell' never made it to the Top 10?" (Katharina Straßer)

Popular actress Katharina Straßer presents a quirky, very personal tribute show. She is a true popular actress; there is no discipline in which she has not already excelled: musicals, cabaret, theater, chanson, film, and television. With her sensational solo evening "Everything for Hugo," Katharina Straßer has sung her way into the hearts of her Villach audience. Now, she dedicates herself with great energy to the more than 50-year history of Austropop and classics like "Fürstenfeld," "Live Is Life," "Like a Bell," and many others.

Accompany Katharina Straßer on a journey through the history of Austrian pop music from 1970 to today.

Der kleine Horrorladen

A guest performance by the Schauspielbühnen Stuttgart

Mr. Mushnik's flower shop in the run-down side street of a big city has no customers, but wilted flowers. Seymour, his awkward employee, is busy breeding mysterious plants and secretly in love with his colleague Audrey.
When Mushnik wants to give up his shop, salvation comes in the form of a peculiar plant that Seymour has found under mysterious circumstances. The plant attracts the interest of customers, the shop thrives, but the plant develops a very special appetite - for human flesh. When the perpetually hungry plant finally reaches out its roots to Seymour and Audrey, it's time to act.

Based on Roger Corman's 1960 film comedy, the musical debuted in 1982 and immediately caused a sensation. With hits like "Grow for me" or "Somewhere That's Green," it gained cult status worldwide.

Lots of dark humor and absurd situations make the musical a cult classic. An eccentric, bloodthirsty plant causes excitement, and the audience can look forward to great entertainment.

Der Herr Karl

The Lord Karl
by Helmut Qualtinger and Carl Merz with Andreas Vitásek
and the OÖ. Concert - Schrammeln

A guest performance of Rabenhof Theater Wien

Hardly any play in Austria has led to such fierce controversies as "The Lord Karl" by Helmut Qualtinger and Carl Merz.

The anti-hero tells the audience his life story while sitting in the storage room of a delicatessen. In doing so, he increasingly reveals himself as a follower who maneuvers through life in the ever-changing course of Austrian history.

When stupidity becomes right, "The Lord Karl" becomes a duty! Whether the resurrection of the block warden in the camouflage outfit of hipster-bobo-helicopter-parents, state deniers, or Ibiza downplayers - the list of Austrian atrocities is long and ever-growing.

Who could be more fitting to probe the wounds with his Viennese sausage fingers than "The Lord Karl" and who else but Andreas Vitásek should bring the eternal informer out of quarantine onto the stage?

Even though the Schilling had to give way to the Euro and Facebook long ago replaced the Bassenatratsch, there is still no shortage of turncoats and informers today, whether in online forums or at press conferences - Vienna remains Vienna!

The music of the Strauss family enchanted the world and made the Viennese waltz an internationally recognized art form. Half of Europe was intoxicated by the sounds, and to this day, the waltz continues to captivate people around the globe. One could even say that the waltz is the first pop hit in music history.

The name "Strauss" is always associated with the lively and graceful world of the Viennese waltz. Their contribution to the world of music is unforgettable. The Strauss dynasty is more than just music; it is a reflection of the Viennese soul: passionate, playful, and full of joy for life.

The renowned orchestra specializes in performing the works of the Strauss dynasty. The orchestra can claim to be one of the most authentic ensembles for interpreting the Strauss oeuvre. The orchestra has been in existence since 1966 and ultimately traces its roots back to the Strauss ensemble founded by Johann Strauss Father in 1846. It typically consists of 42 musicians, as was customary in the 19th century.

Let us immerse ourselves in the waltz rhythm together and enjoy the music of the Strauss family!

Introduction to the Concert Evening

Imagine - 300 years ago in Leipzig, the prestigious Thomaskantor position was to be filled, with the elite of German composers in the running: Bach, Fasch, Graupner, and Telemann. They knew each other and were collegially connected. In 1723, Bach finally took up the position. Even more astonishing, as he was only the third choice!

This event inspired Stefan Temmingh's project "Leipzig 1723," for which he was awarded the renowned OPUS Klassik 2022 as "Concert Recording of the Year." With his expressive sound and playful bravura, he presents German recorder concertos by these four composers - all masterpieces for his instrument. What could be more appealing than making a comparison yourself and choosing your personal desired Thomaskantor? Virtuosity and musicality paired with visionary genius: The South African musician has long left behind the recorder clichés. With each project, he charts new paths, expands the repertoire, sets standards, and creates new traditions. Joining him is the Swiss Baroque ensemble Capricornus Consort Basel, which sensitively and masterfully accompanies him as usual.

A glimpse at the moments of life that come together like snapshots to form a colorful collage. Some parts clearly visible, some rather blurry, many enjoyable, some painful.

The conservative Prime Minister Ruth is close to re-election, supported by her husband Jon. But on this day, their daughter Nina shows up, with whom she has a rather tense relationship, and presents her parents with the new man in her life. The traditional imam Akhtar Ahmed, however, does not fit into Ruth's Christian worldview that she embodies politically. Nina herself explains that she has converted to Islam and wants to marry Akhtar quickly.

Ruth is in great distress because she now has to save her election campaign in the face of the media coverage, and uses all rhetorical tricks to present the best image to the public - after all, tolerance and openness can also bring votes. Who is pretending to whom here, and who will emerge victorious after this turbulent night?

The British-Pakistani author Imran Yusuf will be performed in German for the first time under the direction of Jérôme Junod. In his farce, everyone plays with appearances and power, which can confer assumed identities. More than religion and cultural struggle, "Der Bart" deals with all too human conflicts and the dynamics of pretense in a society that all too often lets itself be swayed by superficialities.

Introduction to the concert evening

Intensity from the first to the last note. The Rhineland-Palatinate Philharmonic Orchestra and the Polish conductor have a special symbiosis that is evident in their musical diversity and quality. One can say the Rhineland-Palatinate Philharmonic Orchestra and Marzena Diakun are a creative and dynamic team that enriches the music scene.

The Concerto for Violin and Orchestra is a work by the Austrian-American composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold and is based on some of his film music themes. The successful violinist Tianwa Yang is known for her unparalleled interpretation of Korngold's Violin Concerto. For her award-winning recordings of this work, she received the OPUS Klassik as "Instrumentalist of the Year," was praised by the press as "China's Pride" and "one of the best new violinists of the new century."

In "Garages of the Valley," Mason Bates attempts to reflect the creative energy and inventiveness of the pioneers of the digital age. A fascinating work that contains both classical and modern elements, and is an excellent example of Bates' ability to merge electronic and acoustic sounds and create an exciting and original sound world.

What is truth? What is the one truth for which two people crossed the sea, from Ireland to Cornwall, over the stormy Celtic Sea? The truth, this impossible, instantaneous event, after which nothing is the same as it was before, and no one can simply continue as before without becoming a traitor!

This truth is love - the love between Tristan and Isolde. An ancient legend, a high medieval Minneroman, but above all: that opera in the work of Richard Wagner, in which love as something heroic and cosmic transcends all logic of conventions, identity, algorithms, and consumption.

Guido Markowitz takes on the challenge of creating a dance piece in dialogue between the world of sagas and Wagner's composition that seeks to illuminate the significance of truth and love for today's society. Just as truth and betrayal hold all fields of science, politics, art, and love in breathless conflict, he ventures into a world of many levels: body, music, language, singing, coming together to set the heroic story of love in motion - the story of the struggle for recognition and dependence, of passion, eroticism, alchemy, and spirit, and ultimately of the sublime and terrible consequences that every great truth can demand from all of us.

Josef Hader - Hader On Ice

"Always something going on. Either my feet fall asleep. Or they itch. Then I can't breathe and need to walk faster. Or I have a cold sweat. Then I'm freezing again. Food doesn't taste good anymore, sex is boring, pants are too tight. What on earth is going on? - Must be all this climate change, right? Temperatures in summer are like in the tropics! Suddenly these huge insects are appearing! They didn't exist before! If they sting you, you get a bump that won't go away for months! Probably all genetically modified. And the plants! They are getting dumb too. The plants are going crazy! They're growing over everything now! Since I stopped going out. My theory is, the plants want to take control of the planet back. They are all connected underground through their roots. Worldwide! The plants have a secret plan. They want the total destruction of Western culture and Austrian folk rock-n-roll. Everything should be replaced by uh photosynthesis."
