Hijangua – A Journey into the Desert
Chief Hijangua is Namibia’s first opera and celebrated its premiere in 2022 at the National Theatre of Namibia as a Namibian-German cooperation project.
The work “Chief Hijangua” elaborates on the common history between Namibia and Germany during the colonial period in a multilingual and intercultural exchange: The opera is sung in Otjiherero – one of Namibia’s languages – and in German.
In cooperation with the Humboldt Forum, a version for children will be performed as a school and family concert on three days.
DON QUIXOTE – An adventurous heroic story
The knight Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza are linked here with a solo instrument each.
Together they experience many adventures – they fight windmills, fly through the air, meet magicians and the enchanted Dulcinea. All this is portrayed in a musically humorous and lively way.
The RSB plays under the baton of its chief conductor Vladimir Jurowski and the presenter Juri Tetzlaff guides the audience through the story.
A paper theatre was designed especially for this concert to complement the story on the visual level.
CHRISTMAS CONCERT – Singing Christmas
This concert is about the Christmas traditions of countries around the world. In Finland, Father Christmas is shaped like a goat, in Italy an old witch brings the presents, in the USA a pickle hangs on the Christmas tree …
Singing along is expressly encouraged!
PETRUSCHKA – A Musical Fairground
The plot of the ballet “Petrushka” takes place at a fair in St. Petersburg 200 years ago. The main characters are puppets of a juggler who mysteriously come to life: among others, a ballerina and Petrushka, the Punch and Judy of the Russian puppet theatre.
Like at a fair, the stage is colourful and there are still some surprises waiting for the audience.
