"Märchen im Grandhotel" von Paul Abraham im Mainfrankentheater Würzburg - inszeniert von Tristan Braun
"Mitreissend:... mit welcher Inbrunst sich Vero Miller als überkandidelte Königin ins spe und Julian Habermann als ungeschickter, verliebter Kellner in ihr hoffnungsloses Techtelmechtel stürzen. Da wird keine Peinlichkeit ausgelassen, kein Bettvorleger geschont und keine Schmonzette nicht schmachtend geschmettert - es ist zum Hinlegen daneben, aber deshalb umso schöner."

MONTEVERDI'S "ORFEO" IS REGARDED AS THE BIRTH OF OPERA AND TELLS OF THE POWER OF MUSIC.
MICHAEL HELL BRINGS THE MASTERPIECE BACK TO LIFE,
NATALIA MORO WRAPS IT IN IMAGES OF SAND.
SAND IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS
In 1607, Monteverdi placed the lamentations of Orpheus in the mouth of a divinely singing tenor in Mantua, and his orchestra wielded the full power of tones to conquer death. In Styriarte's "Orfeo," sand symbolizes the realm of shadows, where colors cease to exist. Through moving images, the sand artist Natalia Moro captures the myth on canvas. Enchantingly beautiful baroque voices sing the arias and choruses of Monteverdi's masterpiece. Michael Hell guides his colorful ĀRT HOUSE orchestra as conductor and harpsichordist.

BACH’S COMPASS
In a world full of crises, Bach gives us something to hold on to. Find a path through daily dilemmas in this cantata programme by famous Bach expert John Butt.
„Intimate line-up with maximum expression“
For centuries, Bach’s cantatas have been providing comfort, reflection and calmness. For the opening of this season, John Butt, artistic director of the Dunedin Consort, chose three cantatas with themes that also move today’s listeners. Do you open up to the ‘other’, or do you shy away from the unfamiliar? In the case of injustice, do you want revenge or do you try to forgive? And where do you find trust, hope and faith? Universal questions of life with possible answers set to music by Bach. John Butt leads the ensemble in an intimate line-up with maximum expression.

Operetta by Paul Abraham:
Hollywood meets the Côte d’Azur. Marylou, daughter of film producer Sam Macintosh, plans to create her own movie, hoping the film’s profits will save Universal Star Picture Ltd. from bankruptcy and herself from an arranged marriage orchestrated by her father. While scanning the gossip column of the New York Times, Marylou stumbles upon the perfect real-life story: Spanish Infanta Isabella, living in exile with her dethroned family at a luxury hotel on the Côte d’Azur. For Isabella, a film offer would be just what she needs to finance her court—if only the setting weren’t so beneath her dignity. As if things couldn’t get more complicated, hotel waiter Albert falls in love with the beautiful Spaniard!
Paul Abraham’s 1934 operetta Märchen im Grand Hôtel ("Fairy Tale in the Grand Hotel") is teeming with typical operetta clichés: class differences, last-minute resolutions of major misunderstandings, all set to dazzling music that not only evokes the operetta bliss of the "Silver Era" but also skillfully brings fashionable dances like the foxtrot and tango, along with new jazz sounds, to the stage. Born in Hungary in 1892, Paul Abraham became one of the most successful composers of his time in the early 1930s with works like Viktoria und ihr Husar, Die Blume von Hawaii, and Ball im Savoy. However, his soaring career was abruptly halted by the Nazi terror. Abraham fled via Paris to New York, where he was unable to regain his artistic footing. Soon after, he descended into a state of mental decline from which he never recovered, remaining in this condition until his death in 1960.

Marylou, daughter of film producer Sam Macintosh, plans to create her own movie, hoping the film’s profits will save Universal Star Picture Ltd. from bankruptcy and herself from an arranged marriage orchestrated by her father. While scanning the gossip column of the New York Times, Marylou stumbles upon the perfect real-life story: Spanish Infanta Isabella, living in exile with her dethroned family at a luxury hotel on the Côte d’Azur. For Isabella, a film offer would be just what she needs to finance her court—if only the setting weren’t so beneath her dignity. As if things couldn’t get more complicated, hotel waiter Albert falls in love with the beautiful Spaniard!
Paul Abraham’s 1934 operetta Märchen im Grand Hôtel ("Fairy Tale in the Grand Hotel") is teeming with typical operetta clichés: class differences, last-minute resolutions of major misunderstandings, all set to dazzling music that not only evokes the operetta bliss of the "Silver Era" but also skillfully brings fashionable dances like the foxtrot and tango, along with new jazz sounds, to the stage. Born in Hungary in 1892, Paul Abraham became one of the most successful composers of his time in the early 1930s with works like Viktoria und ihr Husar, Die Blume von Hawaii, and Ball im Savoy. However, his soaring career was abruptly halted by the Nazi terror. Abraham fled via Paris to New York, where he was unable to regain his artistic footing. Soon after, he descended into a state of mental decline from which he never recovered, remaining in this condition until his death in 1960.

Short Description:
A return to nature – Three innovative composers, three visions of the creation of the world, three brilliant late works make up this program. The relationship between humanity and nature, as well as the concept of a divine creative force, was a recurring theme in 18th-century literature. Music, too, engaged with this idea. Joseph Haydn's oratorio The Creation is probably the most well-known example, but before him, other composers also expressed the sensual and spiritual dimensions of nature in their unique musical languages. One such composer was Jean-Féry Rebel, a student of Lully and court musician to the French king. His symphony Les Éléments (1738) is a ballet suite suffused with tone painting. C.P.E. Bach's Klopstock's Morning Song (1783) is marked by the style of "Empfindsamkeit" and was considered one of the masterpieces of German music for two decades. Finally, Telemann takes us from morning to night in his vividly and atmospherically set cantata cycle Die Tageszeiten.

In order to anchor the topic of diversity more clearly in the classical music scene, Thomas Höft has overwritten the well-known "St. John Passion" by Johann Sebastian Bach with a completely new libretto, which instead of the story of Jesus' suffering places the story of the suffering of discriminated and murdered lesbian, gay, and trans people at the centre of the reflection.
It is not about external provocation, but about the serious question of our behaviour towards the suffering of people who were/are persecuted because of their sexuality.

Project artist Stefan Weiller presents a newly adapted version of Last Songs at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg.
For this documentary music-theatre project, the author held conversations in hospices with people who were terminally ill or dying, discussing the music that had deep meaning in their lives — and still does.
Weiller weaves these diverse impressions into moving stories, scenes, and reflections that mirror the final phase of life. Love and zest for life, farewell, death, and mourning are sensually interwoven. The result is open, touching, at times disarmingly funny, and always deeply authentic.
The songs, performed live, become a complete work of art through the interplay of text, music, and video — ranging from pop songs to folk tunes to classical music.

Anniversary Concert – 40 Years of Capella Vocale Munich
Works by J. S. Bach, Steven Heelein (world premiere), and Sven-David Sandström
Capella Vocale Munich and the Baroque ensemble Concerto München, conducted by Jakob Steiner
Soloists: Laura Hemingway (mezzo-soprano), Julian Habermann (tenor), Marlo Honselmann (baritone)
Sing! For 40 years, this has been the motto of Capella Vocale Munich.
At the center of the anniversary concert is Johann Sebastian Bach’s festive New Year’s cantata “Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied” (“Sing to the Lord a New Song”), which is interwoven with and commented on by the commissioned composition “untitled III (Atem der Statuen)” by composer Steven Heelein.
With this program, Capella Vocale not only aims to celebrate its milestone birthday with sonic splendor, but also to highlight the subtle nuances that have shaped the choir for four decades: listening attentively to one another and crafting a compelling musical architecture through meticulous rehearsal work.
Composer talk with Steven Heelein: 4:00 PM
Stefan Weillers Letzte Lieder am Samstag, 21. Februar 2026 um 19.00 Uhr, ab 18.00 Uhr Begrüßungsempfang bei Snacks & Getränken
Stefan Weiller besucht Sterbende. Er spricht mit Ihnen über das Leben, das Sterben – und über die Musik, die sie in ihrem Leben und an dessen Ende bewegt hat. Die Geschichten die Weiller aufschreibt und die Lieder, die er mit seinen Gesprächspartnern hört, sind so vielfältig wie unsere Gesellschaft. Sie zeugen von Lebensfreude, aber auch von der Angst vorm Sterben – und offenbaren, dass die letzte Lebensphase nicht immer nur Trauer, Stille und Krankheit, sondern auch Zuversicht, Liebe und Menschlichkeit bedeutet. Bei seinen viel besuchten Veranstaltungen lesen prominente Schauspieler mit musikalischer Begleitung durch ein Orchester – so entstehen sehr persönliche, bewegende Erinnerungen. Mal lustig, mal nachdenklich oder melancholisch. Immer wertvoll.

St. Michaelis Choir
St. Michaelis Orchestra (members of the Philharmonic State Orchestra, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, among others)
Jörg Endebrock, Conductor
This year, the St. Michaelis Choir dedicates itself on Good Friday to a wonderful rarity in the Easter repertoire: Bach's Markus-Passion, which was first performed in 1731 in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. Tragically, the original scores were lost. However, thanks to the preserved libretto and the knowledge of individual chorales and passages, which Bach had incorporated from other works and set with the Passion text, musicologists have succeeded in resurrecting the lost masterpiece with its enchanting chorales.
The preface to the edition states: "With the use of viols and lutes and a penetrating sense of chamber music, Bach's Markus-Passion represents the most exquisite and delicate Passion possible."
Additionally, Frank Martin's Polyptyque describes stations from the Passion of Jesus, which Jörg Endebrock weaves into a collage between the fragments of Bach's Markus-Passion.

Introduction

Short Description
Music against all odds...
Regarding his choral motet "Mitten wir im Leben sind," Felix Mendelssohn wrote:
"If it resembles Sebastian Bach, I can’t help it—for I wrote it as I felt."
This is understandable since, the year before (1829), Mendelssohn revived J. S. Bach’s long-forgotten St. Matthew Passion. Bach’s music also deeply inspired his talented sister, Fanny Hensel, who soon composed a poignant oratorio following a cholera epidemic—illuminating music for dark times that still resonate today. Mendelssohn’s dramatic transformation unfolds sharply contrasting worlds of lament and consolation, culminating in an eight-part funeral chorus and the following chorus of the blessed.
The determined Emilie Mayer defied the male-dominated musical world and devoted herself to the symphonic genre. Her Symphony No. 7 showcases her experimental spirit and personal expressiveness.
With an outstanding ensemble, we honor these remarkable women and present their music in a new light.
