The Medieval Tour:
Let a charming contemporary witness tell you about Freiburg's medieval history. Have the "Bächle" always existed? What is the secret of the oil mill in Gerberau? What scary stories are told about the robbers of Falkenstein? Where was the fairground with its freak show located? How was the Minster built without any construction machinery? And who botched up the choir windows? The first 400 years of the city's history: the Middle Ages.

Meeting Point: At Schwabentor (inside by the Schwabentorsteg entrance)
Duration: Approx. 90 minutes
Short Description: A pointed tour of the Middle Ages and the main attractions of Freiburg. Ideal for people who do not (yet) know Freiburg well or who want to have the basics of the city's history told in a lively and entertaining way by a rustic day laborer (m/f/d).

Program change!

We would like to inform you about the following program change: Arabella Steinbacher will perform Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 26 instead of Felix Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64. The rest of the program remains unchanged. We kindly ask for your understanding regarding this change!

When it's at its best, should one leave? Oh no, one should stay! Edward Gardner recently extended his time as principal conductor of the much-acclaimed London Philharmonic Orchestra until at least 2028. In the current season, the historic connection between the LPO and Edward Elgar's works is being celebrated. Gardner proved himself as a "very fine Elgarian" (bachtrack.com) during his guest appearance with the orchestra in 2016, and the praise only grew. In 2023, The Guardian raved that Gardner's fresh interpretation of Elgar's First Symphony makes palpable how the work stands firmly in the 19th century while always looking forward: "Gardner understands this duality, and the LPO responded with the dedication that characterizes their partnership."

Program:
Elgar, In the South. Concert Overture Op. 50
Bruch, Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 26
Elgar, Symphony No. 1 in A flat major, Op. 55

Arabella Steinbacher, violin
Edward Gardner, conductor

"It is the espresso machine among the programs: pressure, steam, shine, aroma - everything included! Plus the big questions of existence, which are: How do I lead a good life? What comes after? What are the best six of the four major mathematical rules? Let's illuminate everything, and according to the proven pattern: too silly for cabaret, but quite clever for comedy, a beautiful, curving evening, coffee, stories... until I lose the thread, and then we’ll see.

I look forward to seeing you.

You work in a company that manufactures condoms and celebrate the annual company party with colleagues at the Dattler restaurant. The naive boss has recently inherited the business and is obviously completely overwhelmed with managing the company. The boss's assistant is a miser who has implemented a strict saving program and secretly pulls the strings. The head of the HR department, who is also a works council member, tries in vain to resist the company's saving plans. And the attractive intern presents the new advertising campaign for the planned XXL condom. Then a murder occurs, claiming one of the celebrants as a victim. Does the competing company have something to do with the murder, or is the perpetrator perhaps from within the company?

It's a good thing you are served a fine four-course meal in between. This gives you time to digest the experience and discuss with the other guests who the culprit might be. But don't worry: apart from singing the company song's chorus together with all the colleagues, you don’t have to participate!

WARNING: If you have a problem with the actors discussing condoms, contraception, and the size of the male genitalia, you should definitely not watch this piece!

Admission starts at 6:15 PM

The Distant Friends impress with their musical diversity: ballads meet rock and folk sounds, merging into a unique style. The compositions come from Klaus, while the lyrics, sometimes in German and sometimes in English, are by the renowned English professor Manfred Malzahn. The live program is enriched by cover versions of well-known artists like Billy Joel, Suzanne Vega, and Jackson Browne. Through Uschi Kopp's virtuosic violin artistry and Klaus Hendler's precise guitar playing, the duo captivates with its unique sound. Whether quiet and melancholic or cheerful and lively, the music invites you to dream and makes time fly. (www.distant-friends.de)

Klaus Hendler: vocals, guitar, bouzouki, accordion
Uschi Kopp: violin, vocals, percussion

Badische Zeitung on L&M: "Lena Knobloch impresses with clear contours in her singing and a great vocal expressiveness. It makes little difference whether she presents "Fields of Gold" in Eva Cassidy's version or whether she lets it rip with John Mayer’s "I don’t need no doctor." Michael Goldschmidt, who has made a name for himself as a guitarist far beyond Germany's borders, is an extraordinary partner. In the version referred to as "Acoustic Rock," with the presentation of songs in softer tones that give space to the voice and the guitar, he can set small and fine, sparkling accents that make the songs shine. Michael Goldschmidt does not need spectacular solos to show what the guitar means for rock and blues. With small, glittering musical interludes in familiar melodies, he playfully opens new dimensions while simultaneously forming a harmonious and cohesive unit with Lena Knobloch's singing."

"With a fireworks display of gags and festive 'Schallala', the Black Forest Drag Queen Betty BBQ sets you in the mood for the most beautiful time of the year. The streets of Freiburg transform into the stage for a delightful mix of drag, comedy, and Christmas variety show.

Betty BBQ shares her unique humor about the little and big troubles of the Christmas season, about punch, mulled wine, and the inevitable Christmas buzz. With plenty of charm and a good dose of self-irony, she explores the questions of whether a baby conceived at the Christmas party is actually a 'punch child', what it feels like when not just the tree has all the lights on, and why Freiburg has such a special Christmas market."

You work at a clinic that performs cosmetic surgeries and are celebrating the annual clinic party with your colleagues at a restaurant. The strict head physician, Dr. Stark, is Germany's most famous cosmetic surgeon. The charming senior physician, Dr. Frank Süden, specializes in breast augmentations and is constantly having affairs with the nurses. The insecure assistant physician, Dr. Daniel Klein, unsuccessfully tries to please the head physician. The simple-minded nurse, Vanessa Engel, with noticeably large bosoms, wants to win back Dr. Süden, who recently broke up with her. Some famous celebrities from the world of sports, fashion, and culture are guests in the room, as a promotional film for the clinic is supposed to be filmed today.

A murder occurs, with one of the attendees becoming the victim. Was it Wolfgang Ebert, the aggressive husband of a patient who accuses the clinic of malpractice? Or could it be someone from the clinic's staff who is the murderer?

Luckily, you will be served an exquisite four-course meal in between, giving you time to digest the experience and discuss with other guests who the culprit might be. Perhaps you will also have the chance to speak one of the taglines into the camera in the promotional film or participate in the choreography of the ad song "Soul Assistance with Scalpel".

This play is for those who have been to the doctor before - or are doctors themselves!
Attention: If you have issues with actors talking about breasts, breast augmentations, or sex in the operating room, you should definitely not watch this play!

Doors open at 6:15 PM.

A night away from all labels: The Iranian musician Farnaz Modarresifar plays the Santur – a Persian dulcimer with a floating, almost electronically sounding tone.
