Elisabeth's life unfolds between the anatomical institute and the welfare office. Scarcity is her strongest driving force. In order to earn money - she is a saleswoman for corsets, stockings, and bras - she needs a hawker's license, which costs 150 marks. For this amount, she would like to sell her body to the anatomical institute while still alive, which is not possible. The anatomist feels sorry for her and lends her the money. When he learns that Elisabeth has lied to him, he sends her to prison. But Elisabeth does not give up: young, hopeful, and determined to make her own luck, she fights with all means for her existence.

Ödön von Horváth's play is signed with "A little death dance in five acts": It shows the tragicomic struggle of the individual in a merciless society, in which the marginalized individual no longer plays a role.

GREGORIAN - 25 Years of Masters Of Chant!
For 25 years, GREGORIAN has been captivating millions of people worldwide with their choreographed shows and their ability to seamlessly transition from classical chants to pop and rock songs. Their concerts have set new standards. With over 2,000 shows in 35 countries and more than 10 million albums sold, GREGORIAN is the most successful choir in the world. In 2025, GREGORIAN will celebrate a very special anniversary - a quarter of a century, honoring the exceptional singers with a new tour. Frank Peterson says: "This Greatest Hits tour is a celebration of GREGORIAN's history and successes, as well as an opportunity to thank our fans around the world who show their love and support by coming to our shows time and time again. The compilation of this anniversary show will be a spectacular journey through our band's history - a retrospective of some of the highlights from around 20 productions that GREGORIAN has performed over the past 25 years. We can't wait to present this new show to our audience and revive these wonderful highlights." For the international music and show producer, the anniversary is a great confirmation. The idea for GREGORIAN originated when Frank Peterson visited the royal monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spain in 1989. Walking through the medieval monastery and castle complex while listening to current music on his Walkman, he found the inspiration for the sound experiment of blending ancient Gregorian music with modern entertainment music. Peterson first realized the idea with Michael Cretu and the worldwide sound phenomenon "Enigma." The first album "MCMXC a.D." was released in 1990 and quickly became a global success. "MCMXC a.D." reached number 1 in 41 different countries and received 57 platinum and 45 gold awards. It is considered the most successful German album of all time worldwide. This enormous success paved the way to further develop the musical idea with GREGORIAN and establish it as an independent music act. In 1999, with the production of the first album "Masters Of Chant," Frank Peterson seamlessly continued the success of "Enigma." Over the following years, GREGORIAN has sold over 10 million records worldwide, achieved gold and platinum status in 24 different countries with a total of 18 CDs and 7 DVDs. By the end of 2024 and in time for the anniversary tour, Frank Peterson will release a new GREGORIAN album. The album will include new songs as well as new recordings of some well-known GREGORIAN classics. Frank Peterson has been involved in various musical projects and international productions for over 30 years. He has worked as a producer with artists such as Sarah Brightman, Enigma, Justin Timberlake, Andrea Bocelli, Paul Stanley (Kiss), Backstreet Boys, Alannah Myles, José Carreras, Tom Jones, Plácido Domingo, Errol Brown, Ofra Haza, Sandra, Josh Groban, Marky Mark, I Muvrini, Florent Pagny, and Ricardo Cocciante. Since 2005, Peterson has also worked as a show producer for Sarah Brightman and other top stars. Together with the world star, he has produced the critically acclaimed album and cinema production "Sarah Brightman - Hymn."

If you are looking for unbridled energy and pure joy of life, combined with musical diversity and great hits, then there is no doubt that the name is: JIMMY KELLY! The powerful member of the famous KELLY FAMILY once again impressively proved this on his acclaimed "Back on the Streets" tour. And the essential contribution to this was made by THE STREETORCHESTRA, consisting of 12 (!) musicians: Jimmy rocks the stages with this great band and amazes the audience like no other. In spring 2025, Jimmy "the Streetkid" Kelly, the charismatic musician with a heart in the right place, will once again embark with his Streetorchestra on a new concert tour to spread the pure, unmistakable Kelly feeling to the delight of his fans. With his special blend of handmade folk music, spiced with rock and pop elements, Jimmy effortlessly brings the feeling of an Irish pub to the concert halls - "Irish Pub on the Road," and plays directly into the hearts of his fans with playful ease. And of course, hits from his world-famous family, the Kelly Family, will not be missing, because many of their legendary hits are shaped by his distinctive voice.

Georg Schroeter, Marc Breitfelder and Torsten Zwingenberger -
featuring Abi Wallenstein

The basis of the mostly improvised music by Georg Schroeter and Marc Breitfelder is the blues, complemented by many related styles: rock 'n' roll, rhythm 'n' blues, boogie-woogie, or country - instrumented with virtuosic piano, perfect harp playing, and a unique blues voice.

Georg Schroeter (Piano, Vocals): His fingers seem to glide effortlessly over the piano keys, while at the same time he captivates with a unique blues voice.

Marc Breitfelder (Harmonica) masters the "Mississippi saxophone" to perfection. Through a self-developed new overblow technique, he achieves dimensions on the harmonica that fascinate listeners and colleagues from all over the world.

With Torsten Zwingenberger (Drums and Percussions), a musical soulmate meets the two world travelers in blues, who, despite the stylistic versatility of swinging, melodic, and fast jazz, never abandoned his blues roots, as they are important sources of energy for his creative work on the drums, which he playfully enriches with a large number of special percussion instruments simultaneously.
As a special guest, Abi Wallenstein (Vocal/Guitar) joins the trio and will also captivate the fans at this concert with his voice, guitar, and blues feeling. He has now become a fixture in the European blues scene.

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the demolition of the city wall of Trier in 2025, an exhibition at the city museum deals with the city wall and the development of the city. Starting from the remnants of the wall that came to light during excavations in the cellar of the Simeonstift during the construction work for the extension, which clearly shows the intertwining of antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modernity, the exhibition connects to the time of the wall's demolition and the present.

Tue-Sun, 10 AM - 5 PM

He is a cult footballer, a free thinker, and a living legend: Mario Basler used to cause danger in the penalty areas of the Bundesliga. Now he is taking to the stage - and here, his words are just as precise as they once were with the ball. His performance is an absolute must-see for all football lovers!

The professional career of the native of Neustadt began in 1987 with 1. FC Kaiserslautern. In the following years, he played for clubs such as Essen, Hertha Berlin, Werder Bremen, and FC Bayern.

Basler became a football legend through his successes in the 1990s. In 1994, while at SV Werder Bremen under Otto Rehhagel, he became the league's top scorer with 20 goals - as a midfielder. He reached the peak of his football career with FC Bayern Munich.

His corner kick technique will always remain in the minds of die-hard football fans. He concluded his active professional football career in 2004 with a proud record of 62 goals in 262 Bundesliga matches.

His legendary interviews, in which he spoke frankly, will never be forgotten. Basler is not one to hold back, and that's exactly what has made him a popular guest on various talk shows in recent years.

Now, the polarizing free-kick specialist continues to blast away on stage. Always straightforward, but also with the necessary dose of self-irony.

For a full season, "SuperMario" presents his personal, unfiltered view of the world of football. True to his motto "I don't care who's playing. As long as I'm playing," Basler analyzes today's events on and off the field in his usual style. All spiced up with the most unbelievable stories from his active days. The great anecdotes' sixteen-yard shootout, where each story finds the back of the net.

Orpheus in the Underworld
Opéra-bouffon in two acts by Jacques Offenbach
Text by Hector Crémieux and Ludovic Halévy

One of the great mythological travesties between heaven and hell: Jacques Offenbach used the myth of the musician Orpheus, who wants to free his beloved Eurydice from the underworld, for his tale of dangerous love temptations and solid marital problems – played out under the watchful eyes of the "Public Opinion" and with the involvement of divine personnel. The gods and goddesses from heaven and hell will stop at nothing to approach Eurydice. She steadfastly pursues her own passions, and the plan of Public Opinion to reunite her with her husband is thwarted.
Jacques Offenbach created a delightful satire on the decadent, oversaturated society of his time, only temporarily disrupted from its lethargy by the famous "Can Can" hellish gallop. Director Michiel Dijkema, who brought Rossini's "Il viaggio a Reims" to the Grand Theatre last season as "an extremely enjoyable buffo opera evening" (Aachener Zeitung), returns to Theater Aachen with Offenbach's comic masterpiece.

Olm is pure, rough, indestructible, direct, and playful. He has a fixating, steel-hard gaze in a velvety eye, a well-trained body, and he knows no fear. At least not the kind of fear that is injected daily into the broad, unsettled masses. The two-time Comedy Award winner and head of his former TV show "Olm" does not bluff, but gets straight to the point, unfiltered and with the sharpness of a Japanese handsaw.

Translated text:

by Katharina Grosch after Henrik Ibsen

"Solness" is the Norwegian word for sunshine - and a fitting name for the radiant being of the master builder, the subject of Ibsen's classic. Master builder Solness is a successful artist, wealthy boss, and respected husband, but his brilliance is fueled by dominance and exploitation, rooted, as almost always with Ibsen, in a sin of the past. Solness is the center of his universe - until the young Hilde Wangel enters the scene. She is the only one who is neither emotionally nor financially dependent on him. And she has a score to settle with him...
Patriarchal power structures, artistic genius, and emancipation are themes of this masterpiece. In Director and Playwright Katharina Grosch's adaptation of the material, the focus is on the conflicts, expectations, and fears between generations. Houses become a societal metaphor and female anger finds its place too.

Biographical play by Susanne Felicitas Wolf
She was Europe's first female Doctor of Science. She was France's first female professor. She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the first person to receive a second one. Marie Curie was ahead of her time in many aspects and paved her way into the male-dominated world of science. As a woman, she publicly insisted on her share of collaborative research with her husband. As a widow, she engaged in an affair with a younger man and likely had a relationship with a woman. And as a mother, she raised two emancipated daughters. She influenced an entire dynasty of female researchers that continued for decades.

The Laugh Night has become an institution in Wiesloch - moderator Ole Lehmann too.
More than 30 years ago, he started his comedy career at the newly opened Quatsch Comedy Club in Hamburg and now is once again dusting off his funniest comedy numbers, bringing them back to life on stage. It's going to be difficult to choose the best ones from the multitude of these numbers.

Will it be the stadium horn that is supposed to bring fun back into everyday life, or the screaming entertainers at the holiday club? Will we hear the cheerful espionage phone call to the pizza delivery person again, or perhaps the funny announcements of the train conductors? Will Ole talk about Darth Vader's private life or about the sparkling vampire in Twilight? And is Adolf still working at the post office and Louis in a bakery in Berlin? No one knows, not even Ole himself.

This time, Ole has invited the following guests:

Ingmar Stadelmann, infamous and celebrated as an investigative comedian and tough East German, tackles present absurdities, dismantles them, and triumphs with virtuosic, brute force punchlines that leave his audience breathless - from laughter and astonishment. It all began in the countryside of Altmark, more precisely in Salzwedel, where he was born and raised. Here, nudism and rebellion shaped his unwavering commitment to punchlines and molded him into a "real show-stopper" (Göttinger Tagblatt). Successes came aplenty: from comedy awards to cabaret prizes, from acclaimed radio formats to entertainment shows for Pro7, and even to his own late-night "evening show" for RBB.

Dagmar Schönleber stands for intelligent cabaret with heart and attitude while also enjoying silliness. She addresses socially relevant topics and maintains optimism and an eye for the touching little things in everyday life, which can save one's day, in a crisis-ridden world. Whether it's about the relationship with vacuum cleaner robots or the future of humanity - Dagmar Schönleber cares about the small problems as well as the general survival of species - and does so with a lot of feelings. From anger to joy. She combines punk rock with poetry, herself with the audience, and words with music, whether with a guitar or fat beats, ballads, or disco. In short: Everything from "Oops!" to "Hooray!" and all that has been awarded several times.

Helene Mierscheid stands for fast-paced, full satire at the height of its time. Authentic and likable self-irony creates a skillful connection between private and political contents. And as a "life counselor," she solves all her audience's problems while also providing unexpected insights into the inner lives of our politicians. A golden girl for all occasions, who has been recognized with numerous cabaret awards, including the recent "Reinheim Satire Lion".

Lars Ruth is the seer. A person who is attributed with perceiving supernatural things. The seer's abilities are suspected and claimed, doubted, and admired... and yet, the uncertainty remains whether one is facing a person gifted with a special ability - or a charlatan. Lars Ruth is both. He is a gifted charlatan! And he is someone who wishes you well! Sensitively and empathetically, Lars Ruth takes you on a journey into the world of the supernatural, where you too will doubt whether your tour guide possesses "the gift" and if you can trust your senses. Follow him on an expedition into the realm of seers and visionaries, hypnotists and dream interpreters. But don't be surprised if you feel like Alice when Lars Ruth leads you down the rabbit hole and you discover Wonderland...

Hall opens at 19:30.
