Already from 2004 to 2013, Rosenau, together with Theater Rampe, Theaterhaus, Literaturhaus, and Laboratorium, annually organized the "Viennese Week" festival. The idea was to focus on Vienna/Austria for a week and specifically invite cabaret artists, writers, authors, and theater productions from there to Stuttgart. The series "Wiener Blut" now picks up on this idea again. Throughout the year, various Austrian cabaret artists will present their programs at Rosenau: Social, political, and interpersonal topics are entertainingly brought to the stage in a cabaret style! And everything is a bit more biting, sinister, ironic, quirky, and often more poetic than from German territory.
The subscription consists of the following 6 events:
- 09.02.24 Benedikt Mitmannsgruber with "The strange case of Benedikt Mitmannsgruber"
- 04.04.24 Blonder Engel with "Songs that are funny and sometimes a bit sad, but that's okay"
- 19.04.24 Christine Teichmann with "Left right human rights"
- 11.09.24 Magda Leeb with "Pigging out"
- 04.10.24 Blözinger with "New Program"
- 23.10.24 Hosea Ratschiller with "HOSEA"

30 years of Stuttgart Kantorei

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy  
Kyrie MWV A 3
Psalm 95 "Come, let us worship" MWV A 16
Anthem "Why, O Lord, delay for ever" ("Hymn") MWV A 19
Psalm 42 "As the deer cries" MWV A 15

 

Psalm 42 As the deer cries is one of Mendelssohn's most famous works. Wonderfully balanced and developed from the images of the Psalm, the enchanting solos, the effects of the symphonic instrumentation, and the sometimes lyrical, sometimes brilliantly resplendent choral parts appear. Thanks to the |:Mendelssohn:| cycle, Kay Johannsen can also present other compositions, such as the magically imaginative, Mozart-like Kyrie. The hymn Why, O Lord is performed with English text and orchestra instead of organ – an example of Mendelssohn's work that was strongly oriented towards the English audience. With this concert, Stuttgart Kantorei celebrates a milestone birthday!

A surprisingly good evening for parents

There is nothing better than one's own children and nothing worse than other parents. This is always the crux when the invitation to the parents' evening arrives. Also, the delicate question arises: Who takes over? Who goes into the snake pit?

In the case of this wonderfully honest cabaret evening, Eva Karl Faltermeier (Bavarian Cabaret Award 2021) and Bumillo (St. Prosper Cabaret Award 2020) take the class register in hand: The charming duo knows the pitfalls, hurdles, and highlights of parenting and cleverly gets to the point, instead of driving their fellow human beings up the wall. But even though both are well versed in all aspects of household management, the absolute final boss in the calendar year remains the parents' evening.

Fearlessly, the father from Upper Bavaria and the single mother from the Upper Palatinate face the circle of mercilessness and coach the audience with their insights through the endgame of the parents' evening until the audience voluntarily establishes a parents' WhatsApp group.

The joint program is understood as a continuously growing best-of collection of the two cabaret artists on the topic of parents and children. For those who think the whole thing is thematically too tightly woven, it should be said: When it comes to parents and children, it's always about everything anyway! So: Let the endgame begin...

Aida was enslaved in Egypt, as no one knows that she is the daughter of the Ethiopian king. She falls in love with the Egyptian commander Radamès, and the two secretly become a couple. After a successful battle against the Ethiopians, the commander returns with prisoners, including Aida's father Amonasro. As a thank you, the Pharaoh offers Radamès the hand of his daughter Amneris. Reluctantly, the Egyptian promises to marry her, although he does not love her. To save his people, King Amonasro prompts his daughter to eavesdrop on Radamès. The Egyptian tells his beloved everything. After Amonasro reveals to him that he secretly listened in on both of them, Radamès wants to flee with them to Ethiopia. But the jealous Pharaoh's daughter Amneris has overheard everything and has the commander arrested. He faces a painful death sentence. Will he ever see his beloved Aida again?

Giuseppe Verdi was commissioned in 1868 to compose an opera for the opening of the Suez Canal. The idea for the story was provided by the famous Egyptologist Auguste Mariette. After a slight delay, the lavishly staged premiere took place in December 1871. Besides the tenor aria "Celeste Aida," the triumphal march and the choruses are especially famous. Under the management of Markus Hertel, "Aida" opens the season of the music theater as the third major Italian opera with a strong female character, following "Madama Butterfly" in 2022 and "La Traviata" in 2023.

Robert Kreis | Bistro Evening

His trademark is unmistakable, the Menjou mustache. And it immediately hints at the era he has devoted himself to. Robert Kreis is considered one of the pioneers of the 20s retro wave that emerged in the 1980s. The cabaret artist, entertainer, and pianist embodies the entertainment era of the 1920s and 1930s with his complete presence.

“Humor is the only button that prevents our collar from bursting!” With this credo, Robert Kreis has made it his mission to entertain his audience with an ironic wink and unmistakable musical skill in solo and orchestral programs.

Witty and ironic, but also hilariously funny, he presents his programs mainly on German stages. However, he occasionally travels abroad, for example to New York, where he was able to showcase his talents at a cultural festival. Undoubtedly, Robert Kreis is a very special personality, and an evening with him promises great cabaret. read more

Cabaret fans know: red shoes, black hat – that's Helmut Binser. And "Ha?" is the name of his brand new program.
In a scientifically well-founded survey, 100 people were asked in 100 Bavarian large-area discos with thumping beats how Helmut Binser's new program should be called.
The answer was clear and unanimous: Ha?
The result suits the pragmatic musical cabaret artist very well. The "Binser" – as he is affectionately called by his fans – has been practicing this all his life: to look closely and then simply say what the matter is. "I drive to the performance location and if the audience has laughed so much that their stomach hurts, I drive home again. You don’t find that in many professions..."
Legendary is his way of wonderfully and ironically bringing complex connections about Bavarian life to the precise point. He does this in such a relaxedly brilliant and subtly brutal way that his enthusiastic audience continually falls into uncontrollable fits of laughter.
Thematically, everything with Binser revolves around life in the countryside. Helmut Binser is a keen observer of the everyday and gladly uses real examples, which he sometimes mercilessly exaggerates.
His quirky stage characters and their partly absurd experiences drive the amused audience to wild cheers. Often, he takes on the role of the unsophisticated, naive observer who comments on things from his – admittedly often very unique – perspective. His stories and songs are hilariously funny, his mischievous, self-deprecating humor unbeatable, and his approachable down-to-earth demeanor already legendary.
Meaning: Binser. New program. It's going to be good. Go see it!

Doors open & catering from 6:00 PM

Sold Out!

„Fly with me! Fly with me!“, calls Albi, the alpine soaring bird, who nests under the roof of the Linden Museum during the summer months. On your tour through the permanent exhibitions, you will encounter the transparent kangaroo, hear about an extinct bird, get to know the octopus Toko, and listen to entertainment with Seraa, the elephant. Whether in pictures or clothing, made of wood, ceramics, and stone – the animals and their representations tell of the coexistence of humans and animals. This relationship is not always simple. On one hand, many animals are admired, revered, and valued as companions or domestic and farm animals; on the other hand, their habitats are being destroyed, and they are hunted or displaced.

In the exhibition, the illustrator Promina Shrestha brings the animals on the objects to life through her images. In the audio and stamp rally, you will discover together with Albi what the animals have to tell, solve puzzles, and collect stamps.

€ 4/3 incl. permanent exhibitions
Children up to 18 years free

Play and Mask Theater

Woyzeck needs money for his family. He works as a soldier. Additionally, he shaves the captain. And the doctor turns him into a lab animal. Woyzeck, the “creature,” is an animal: he pees on the wall like a dog, wiggles his ears like a donkey, and acts like a monkey. His girlfriend Marie becomes a mangy cat, good for a whole soldiers' breed.

The collective puls_de_kern presents "Woyzeck" as the story of dehumanization inherent in Büchner's drama fragment: It tells of the whirlpool of degradation that pulls everyone involved deeper until a voice calls "Poke! Poke!". There is no turning back.

Through the narration of the animal analogies, the man-made system in which we are still trapped today is revealed: A system that makes creatures sick.

Acting: Marius Kob, Marius Alsleben, Anne Brüssau | Stage design: Oliver "Scuba" Klauser | Director's Assistant: Marzella Ruegge | Director, Artistic Director: Iris Keller

KAMMERCHOR STUTTGART
KLASSISCHE PHILHARMONIE STUTTGART
FRIEDER BERNIUS Direction

ANTON BRUCKNER (1824-1896)
Mass in e minor
Motets
BERTOLT BRECHT (1898-1956) and HANNS EISLER (1898-1962)
Cantata "Against War" op. 55
ARVO PÄRT (b. 1935)
Da pacem Domine

Exactly on the anniversary of Anton Bruckner's death, October 11, "Music for Sindelfingen" celebrates the 200th birthday of the brilliant Austrian with a concert of the highest caliber. The connections of district cantor Daniel Tepper have made a guest performance by Frieder Bernius and his Stuttgart Chamber Choir possible at St. Martin's Church.

"From a thousand entangled ways, the tremendous sound waves rush forth and form a powerful stream in wonderful harmony, which seizes the heart with force and carries it away to the humblest devotion, to pious enthusiasm, to joyful jubilation as well as to deepest emotion." Thus wrote a preview in the "Linzer Volksblatt" about the world premiere of the mass in e on the occasion of the partial consecration of Linz Cathedral in 1869. Bruckner had already received the commission to compose a work for the laying of the foundation stone in 1862; the commission for the composition of the mass in e followed in 1866. The late premiere was attributed to delays in construction, which, then as now, is not unusual.

In the music of the Austrian composer Hanns Eisler, the resolute rejection of war plays a prominent and consistently present role. Not least due to his own experience of war (Eisler was conscripted into World War I at the age of eighteen), the denunciation of war appears already in his earliest songs. The pacifist appeal runs through his decades-long oeuvre.

The a cappella piece "Da pacem Domine" (2004) by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt draws on vocal forms from the 15th century. The ascetic work is characterized by compelling radicality. Its biblical-Christian message is so clear that the question of whether such confessions can still resonate against the secular spirit of the times today does not even arise.

Admission: 5:30 PM

Wilhelm Jacoby & Carl Laufs
Pension Schöller

Alfred wants to start his own business and become self-employed. However, he lacks the necessary startup capital. His uncle Philipp Klapproth is willing to help him out, but only for a price. Living in the depths of the countryside, the uncle now wants to experience "real lunatics" in the big city.

Completely overwhelmed by this wish, Alfred resorts to Pension Schöller and presents its eccentric guests as patients. The country uncle is thrilled, but only until the "crazies" show up at his doorstep in the province. The unexpected return visit threatens to drive Uncle Philipp insane...

First performed in 1890, this farce enjoys almost cult status to this day. It is considered a prime example of “bourgeois laugh theater” (Volker Klotz) and is a relentlessly entertaining comedy machine from which there is no escape: “But instead of trembling with fear, let us look forward cheerfully; children, what a life it will be when we all go under.” (Berlin hit).
The catastrophe is that it just keeps going on – it has long since occurred.

The students of the HMDK acting school perform:
Güzide Coker, Richard Kipp, Luise Kostopoulos, Mika Pavle Kuruc, Arvid Maier, Kristina Moiseieva, Melina Petala, Katharina Bogdanova Petrova, and Leonie Wegner / Vittoria Mensah

Findus is definitely celebrating his third birthday for the 100th time. This time, the cat wishes for Christmas cookies as a surprise. But Pettersson has a problem: the chickens don’t want to lay eggs. But without eggs, there’s no Christmas cookie dough. That’s how it always is: when you need the chickens, they don’t want to, and when you don’t need them, they do. Pettersson remembers...

With "Nora: Breaking the Dollhouse," the silent ladies_ place Henrik Ibsen's Nora in the present and give this theater classic a queer-feminist twist.

What does marriage mean in 2024? How does the "they-lived-happily-ever-after-until-their-end-of-life" play out in daily life? For women*, marriage continues to exacerbate societal inequality, as this state-controlled form of cohabitation still caters to the advantages of men*.

In the theater performance, the three players move in an abstract world that symbolizes our society in a parabolic way. With their fifth production, the silent ladies_ humorously turn the dollhouse upside down to ask the question: What could come instead of marriage?

Back´n Blue

Armin Sabol, who has been a solid part of the music scene since the late 1970s, among others with the rock band Shiva, his work with Peter Schilling ("Major Tom – completely detached), as a studio musician for Hazel O’Connor, Eric Burdon, the Fantastic Four, and many more, or as a producer for Rage or Sinner, has gained international renown in recent years especially for instrumental music for TV series and shows such as The Mentalist, Auction Hunters, Storage Wars, The Purge, or The Oprah Winfrey Show. He embraces his love for blues music with his new album "Back In Blue," which was released on April 1, 2022, by Yellow Muffin Records/SPV.

The cabinet exhibition in the East Asian department presents works by the artist Monika Hoffer alongside pieces of flower and bird painting by renowned Chinese and Japanese artists from the 16th to 20th centuries from our collection. This genre, highly valued among traditional scholars of East Asia, aims to unite the objective and subjective world, merging personal feelings and nature observation. The personalities of the artists are reflected in the images, which are shaped and refined by the precise observation of the motifs.

Tue to Sat from 10 AM to 5 PM, Sun and holidays from 10 AM to 6 PM
