“Mission impossible?” With a daring yet clumsy coup, a provincial bank is turned upside down in the literal sense. A small-time criminal has spectacularly broken out of the - evidently inadequately secured - high-security block and even more spectacularly broken into the - also inadequately secured - bank. There lies a diamond of immeasurable value. However, the safecracker has not counted on the staff: from the eternal intern to the janitor, from the cashier to the daughter of the branch manager, everyone interferes with his plan, causing his heist to spiral out of control. Among pickpockets, con artists, and white-collar criminals, it eventually becomes unclear who the real criminal is - and all the more so where the jewel will end up! Show less

The turbulent nonsense à la Monty Python by the “Mischief Theatre Company” originally stems from improv theater. The now globally celebrated shows of the British troupe combine slapstick, acrobatics, and silly wordplay. Comedy specialist Christian Brey brings the play full of Hollywood references from breakout dramas to high-tech action movies to the stage.

In Austria, people do not like to talk about money. Especially within the family, this is a taboo topic. During the Christmas dinner, it is sometimes hinted at who actually earns how much – yet hardly anyone dares to ask the actual question. There is silence. But when, if not now, should we talk about it?

In this humorous and thought-provoking piece development, we focus on the big questions surrounding property, possession, and justice. The gap between rich and poor continues to widen, and in times of inflation, our money, our inheritance, and the starting conditions in life become crucial topics. Who actually benefits from our silence about all this? And what does it mean for our life here in Salzburg? What can we still afford today? And where has all the money gone – the cash that slumbers in secrecy?

In his famous play, Molière describes the relationship between a self-pitying hypochondriac and his greedy doctors as a mutually beneficial symbiosis. He dedicates the play to the Sun King, who was indeed cruelly cured to death by so-called healers with enemas. Molière himself, who played the title role on stage, succumbed – as if a higher instance had written this punchline – to a fatal hemorrhage during the fourth performance.
In their rewriting, Barbara Sommer and Plinio Bachmann update the play to a whirlwind of hypersensitivity – a competition for the dubious honor of being the most vulnerable.

Thomas Bernhard's novel places a narrator at the center who, from the distance of his armchair, observes an "artistic evening gathering" in Vienna's Gentzgasse and dissects it with malicious precision. The assembled crowd is waiting for the announced arrival of a Burgtheater actor; furthermore, most of the people in this gathering are connected because their friend Joana, who committed suicide, was laid to rest in the village of Kilb on the afternoon of the same day.



Thomas Bernhard's famous prose is brought to life recitatively, while the musicians of Franui, among others, will be heard with a specialty that has made them known: the celebration of funeral marches and funeral music.



Only a few performances!

A funny Christmas reading where no eye remains dry and no mulled wine stays cold. Look forward to an atmospheric selection of cheerful, pointed, and lovingly told Christmas stories, sometimes reflective, sometimes hilarious, but always heartfelt.

In her new program "Offline", stand-up comedian Ina Jovanovic clears up the perfect influencer world and shows that none of us really know what we are doing here.

From followers who admire her to family who ask, "Oh, you're still doing that crap?", the Carinthian with Balkan roots is all too familiar with the balancing act between the online and the real world.

She guides the audience through the chaos of the artist filled with hate comments, performance pressure, and men who boulder.

Honest, humorous, and straightforward, Ina shares her insecurities about her professional and private life.

Except in love, she claims, she has no problems - here, the men are immediately blocked (sounds very much like commitment issues, but we will ignore that for now).

Do you sometimes feel like you are living on the backside of life? Then you are in the right place with us.

Magda Leeb and Gregor Seberg will show you how you can become what you are not yet. They see the light, they bring you into the light, and then you catch the light. They walk with your lantern and your lantern with them.
Trust and rejoice, now it's your turn to shine! With confident energy and a success guarantee.
Hurry up!

IGUDESMAN & JOO

BEST OF - THE FINAL NIGHTMARE MUSIC

20 years (musical madness with) Igudesman & Joo

written, composed, and conceived by Aleksey Igudesman & Hyung-ki Joo

Igudesman & Joo, who captivate audiences of all ages with their unique blend of musical talent, humor, groundbreaking arrangements, and delightful chaos, present a spectacle that highlights their long musical journey.

At the same time, BEST OF also signifies the end of this musical journey: by the end of 2025, this dynamic duo will take the stage for the last time.

Now the burning questions arise: What musical showdown will we experience? Will Mozart and Bond finally settle their epic duel? Will the mysterious identity of Beethoven's Elise finally be revealed? And how colossal were Rachmaninoff's hands, really?

Prepare for an evening full of surprises that will bring laughter to both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. But also look forward to some new numbers: Puccini will be awakened from his deepest slumber and disturbed from his sleep - a bold feat. Naturally, everyone expects to hear their own version of "I Will Survive." But be ready for this beloved classic to undergo one last transformation and take us on a quirky journey to the far east.

In summary: Igudesman & Joo will either make this show their absolute masterpiece or their total fiasco by merging their dearly beloved classics, which are celebrated millions of times on YouTube, with adventurous new numbers. The decision, dear audience, lies in your hands, thanks to an interactive poll during the performance. One thing is for sure: Fun is practically guaranteed!

Mozart Dinner Concert

Concert & historical dinner in the Baroque Hall of Stiftskulinarium St. Peter Salzburg

Experience an evening as it could have been in 1790: the Baroque hall bathed in candlelight, a menu based on historical recipes, artists dressed in Mozart-era clothing, and compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart performed in the highest musical quality. The dinner and concert take place in the excellent acoustics of the historic Baroque hall of St. Peter. This location is easily accessible in the heart of Salzburg at the Stiftskulinarium St. Peter, which looks back on a 1200-year tradition and was first mentioned in a document in the year 803. The Mozart family also frequented this place, as evidenced by an entry in Nannerl Mozart's diary in 1783.

Today, the two opera singers and five instrumentalists of the AMADEUS CONSORT, established since 1996, perform arias and duets from the great Mozart operas "The Magic Flute," "Don Giovanni," and "The Marriage of Figaro" for you. The famous first movement from the serenade "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" completes the program. The dinner is modernly interpreted based on historical recipes from Mozart's time and consists of three courses. The concert is divided into three parts, each following the dinner courses, as the music should not be disturbed by indulging...

To each art its time.

Experience an evening dedicated to classical music and enjoy the special ambiance of the baroque Marble Hall at Mirabell Palace. The Marble Hall was once the ballroom of the Prince Archbishop and is now considered one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world.

Royal Classical Ballett – Agenda Production International GmbH

The novel "Don Quichotte" is a masterpiece by Miguel Cervantes with a long tradition in ballet history. Cervantes wrote it as a parody of the completely outdated, yet still eagerly read chivalric romances of his time. Chivalric romances are long forgotten, but "Don Quichotte" has remained and continues to captivate.

The protagonist is a man who cannot tolerate the injustices of this world. His tormenting quest for human perfection is reflected in many episodes of his adventures. To this day, he has inspired writers to imitations, painters to paintings, composers to pieces, and particularly choreographers to ballets.

Themes such as a sense of justice, leniency and tolerance, heart, humor, and wit make the novel inexhaustible and allow for endless interpretations. With a mix of grace, elegance, and artistic mastery, the Royal Classical Ballet brings this poetic story to the stage. The dances, which radiate breathtaking lightness, convey a compelling story that finds no parallel in the real world. This may be the true secret of classical ballet: It creates an unreal, yet fascinating world that enchants us.

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.

Graz seduces you - narrow alleys, imposing buildings, and modern architecture. Enjoy a leisurely walk through one of the most fascinating old towns in Europe, which is young, cheeky, and innovative at the same time.

Nostalgia (Greek: The pain of an old wound) is a big, small feeling. Nostalgia is more than mere memory; it brings us to a place of childlike longing: A home where we are loved. Music often brings Ariel Oehl to this place, and to share this experience, he goes on an acoustic tour with Romi Rabic (double bass/violin/piano/voice) and Niklas Apfel (concert guitar/voice). The concerts will be contemplative, acoustic, and filled with beautiful stories about the strange time before the year ends. Specially written songs for the occasion, acoustic versions of popular Oehl songs, and reimagined Christmas songs will be performed.

Ariel comments:
"No matter how one feels about all this business with wreaths, candles, and the rituals of the Christian narrative, whether one celebrates Christmas or not. An evening of collective nostalgia is warranted - the year has probably been hard enough."
