Han's Klaffl, a retired teacher out of passion and a lifelong state cabaret artist, delves into the widely held clichés about the profession of educators in no less than five cabaret solo programs centered around teachers, students, and parents. He unflinchingly reveals what really happens behind the closed doors of the staff room. He dives into the complicated psyche of teachers, offers valuable tips for structuring parent-teacher meetings, and shares the secrets of stress-free teaching. In a highly entertaining manner, Han’s Klaffl documents the incredible survival strategies that students have developed over the centuries and provides unprecedented, deep insights into the last unexplored biotope of our society: the school.

That these insights into the pedagogical subculture were long overdue is evident from the unwavering interest that teachers, parents, and students have in this self-ironic reckoning. But of course, Han’s Klaffl, as a gifted – or was it favored? – educator knows all too well about the forgetfulness that is as inseparable from the human brain as the liver cheese roll is from the school kiosk. And that’s why there is now a compact course, a refresher, a kind of Best-of, with which Han’s Klaffl fills the memory gaps of his audience. So look forward to an evening with particularly popular numbers from all stage programs, to a double lesson of frontal teaching with piano and double bass, after which there will definitely be no questions left unanswered. But why "a kind of" Best-of? Let yourself be surprised!

Press reviews:
"Klaffl knows how to captivate his audience, hold up a mirror to them, and in the process, shake their laughing muscles vigorously."
Passauer Neue Presse

"A (school) master of cabaret."
Augsburger Allgemeine

"There should be more of his kind."
Bonner Rundschau

Peter Hörmanseder and Robert Stachel synchronize a year that was not like the last one.

Archduke Ludwig Viktor, also known as Luziwuzi, is considered the most peculiar Habsburg and the most complex historical figure of the Austrian imperial era. Many legends surround the youngest brother of Emperor Franz Josef. Regarded as a free spirit with “special inclinations” and a malicious gossip by some, he also stood out as an art lover and darling of the courtly society. As an eternal bachelor without military or official duties, he lived a life that was otherwise impossible for anyone until several scandals led to a tragic end.




Successful director Ruth Brauer-Kvam tackles this story and creates, with an extraordinary ensemble led by Tom Neuwirth, also known as Conchita Wurst in his theater debut, a musical-theatrical evening between lavish glamour and heartrending tragedy.

A new time requires unity. A benevolent togetherness that can do without many words even on stage. Variety and harmony, as well as complexity and simplicity, are not opposed in the Devet group, but are part of the daily program together: their musical signature includes the combination of contemporary progressive jazz sounds and Eastern European roots. The repertoire and compositions are constantly being developed to offer the listeners an extraordinary journey through the world of music.

At Sargfabrik, they present their second album "Extended" after "DEVET".

Welcome to the 1920s Berlin! Here, freedom, life, and pleasure are in the air! Step in and become part of this restless world. Sequin dresses shimmer in the evening light, hot melodies drive to increasingly uninhibited dances, and all boundaries blur in the sinful thicket of night. BERLIN BERLIN takes you into the seething cosmos of the "Roaring Twenties", showing what sets the capital of vice in ecstasy today as it did then. Great stars like the style icon Marlene Dietrich, the legendary entertainers of the Comedian Harmonists, and the scandalous dancer Josephine Baker invite you to a hot dance on the volcano. Come on a seductively sparkling journey through time and experience the tingling feeling of the golden 20s up close!

The night is worth a sin

BERLIN BERLIN throws itself body and soul into the wild whirlpool of a dizzying time.

Sparks fly as the chorus girls swing their endlessly long legs to Charleston and Lindy Hop, and hit songs like "Puttin' on the Ritz," "Falling in Love Again," "Mack the Knife," and "Bei Mir Bist Du Schön" electrify the entire hall.

A phenomenon returns: New production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

This new production is under the original overall responsibility of Matthew Bourne and Cameron Mackintosh.

The morning exercise gives you an insight into the training work of the riders with their Lipizzaner horses. You will see both the training of the often still gray young stallions, as well as the already trained school stallions – our "white stars" – in the imperial ambiance of the baroque Winter Riding School, accompanied by classical Viennese music.



The gymnastics of the horses includes loosening exercises, refining and perfecting lessons, as well as targeted muscle strengthening. The famous school jumps, presented as part of the performances, are only sometimes seen during the morning exercise to spare the animals. Each stallion is trained according to his individual level of training, up to the High School lessons.
