ABBA - Waterloo in the Ball Pit

Musical comedy about big hits and beautiful furniture

2024 is an anniversary year - 50 years ago, the first German IKEA store was founded AND ABBA won the Grand Prix. Reason enough for store manager Inka to host a big party at her local IKEA.
The ABBAtare from London are set to perform, you know, the holograms of the original ABBA shows. The plan is perfect, the execution, well, not so much. The projector for the big corporate event fell off the truck – Uppsala ... Now the staff has to come up with something. Anke from Småland has the brilliant idea: "Let's just do it ourselves!" But it's not just about eating Köttbullar, and whether Inka, forklift driver Klaus from the warehouse, accountant Erwin who was left in the bargain corner by his wife, and the energetic Anke will become "Super Troupers" turned "Dancing Queens" or if it all ends in a "Waterloo" between the BILLY shelves - The Winner Takes It All!

An exciting comedy in the furniture store with the greatest ABBA hits. Starts: Midsummer 2024 (June 21).

The self-confident cowgirl Calamity meets two upright Swabian brothers who are seeking their fortune in the Wild West. The three get caught in a furious whirlwind of action-packed comedy, crazy misunderstandings, and adventurous mix-ups.

And there are original Western characters that haven't made it into the official history books: funny undertakers, shot salon pianists, woke Indians with a penchant for self-sticking, corruptible horses, and trigger-happy prairie dogs...

And of course, the main actors (who not only play all supporting characters but also enjoy portraying a dried-up cactus when the production budget doesn't stretch to a real one). The Cologne cabaret artist Dagmar Schönleber is there, Uli Boettcher of course, Udo Zepezauer as well as the all-around musician Sascha Bendiks.

Shotguns, firewater, and darn good fun - the new comedy at the Hoftheater is packed with plenty of punchlines, absurd dialogues, and catchy songs - It can only be jolly!

Doors open at 6:00 PM, you will be seated.

Ornamenta is a cultural program in Pforzheim and the Nordschwarzwald region that takes place from July 5 to September 29, 2024. On new routes with art and design, visitors experience exhibitions, public artworks as permanent installations, and events at more than 20 locations in the Nordschwarzwald.

For three months, the municipalities in the region are expanded through five thematic neighborhoods. These new communities with the names Inhalatorium, Solartal, Bad Databrunn, Schmutzige Ecke, and Zum Eros address topics that concern the people of the region and Europe alike. From sunshine and clean air to social taboos and technology, each thematic community serves as a place of interaction: local associations showcase unexpected partnerships with international cultural practitioners, traditional institutions meet progressive artists, regional industries are enriched by ideas from young designers.

The students of the Spanish Ballet School will showcase on stage what they have learned this school year. The students from the training and adult programs will perform classical and modern pieces choreographed by the teachers, as well as an adaptation from the classical repertoire. The annual performance is considered the third examination of the school year for the students of the training program.

Doors open at 5:30 PM. Ticket price includes 19% VAT.

I have always been interested in a writing existence. Jean Lassalle is the pseudonym of a German author who is based in Düsseldorf and Nice. At the end of the 70s, I lived in Brest for a short time. I was in a relationship with my French girlfriend. In early 1983, I came to Nice for the first time - because of the art and the unique light. Since then, I have returned again and again. The place of yearning has long since become a new home. I used to write two crime novels in German, all set near Düsseldorf. Since March 2021, the first case of Ex-Commissaire Bernard Bonnot has been published. I am a member of Syndikat e. V.

Natalie Wallrath lives in Düsseldorf. She studied music at the Conservatorium in Maastricht. As a guitarist and composer, she is active in various jazz and pop combos. In her music, she creates melodies that give rise to rhythmically-harmonious surprising turns.

Murder on the Croisette
A German film critic is murdered during the Cannes Film Festival!

Bernard Bonnot and his wife Danielle are invited to the Cannes Film Festival. At the Hotel Carlton, Bernard runs into a woman who claims her boyfriend, the German film critic Stephan Faber, has been murdered! Chloe Rivier asks Bernard for help. Who was Faber and why was he murdered by multiple stab wounds? Why did he kiss another woman in Chloe's presence before? Chloe no longer wanted to be with the man. It is not clear which side she is on, but Bernard is already willing to help her. Does she have something to do with the murder?

Pink Floyd is a phenomenon in rock history, and those who have had the chance to experience them live are likely filled with this unique experience for life. Continuing this legacy is the mission of the German band PULSE. The members of the newly formed group are well acquainted with the material and many thousands of concert-goers across half of Europe.
At hundreds of concerts, exceptional guitarist and singer Oliver Hartmann, bassist Martin Hofmann, and for some time now keyboardist Markus Nanz have formed the foundation in the front row of the most successful German Pink Floyd tribute band, Echoes. This band has made a name for itself far beyond Germany with countless live shows, including their unique acoustic tour "Barefoot To The Moon" and their productions "Live From The Dark Side" featuring special guests Michael Sadler (SAGA), Midge Ure (ULTRAVOX), Geoff Tate (ex-QUEENSRYCHE), and Claude Leonetti (LAZULI). The only new addition is French drummer Sébastien Angrand (ex-EISBRECHER, among others). Saxophonist Michael Unger and singer Ilka Müller remain in the tried-and-true line-up, as does the perfectly coordinated technical team that has been in place for years.
Even if the changes seem subtle, PULSE continues right where Echoes left off at the end of 2023: "The Best of Pink Floyd"

It continues and The Show Will Go On! Due to the great success, the first Germany tour of Nino de Angelo is being extended. The first open-air dates for 2024 are now confirmed.

Is it possible? Yes, it is possible! After his 40-year stage career, Nino de Angelo at the tender age of 60 has caught the touring virus! The spectacular success of his concerts proves him right:

"The best Nino de Angelo there has ever been. He radiates energy and has ignited the Liederhalle" (Stuttgarter Zeitung)

Is it possible to leave everything behind after a long and successful career and reinvent oneself completely? That is exactly what Nino de Angelo has achieved! The audience celebrates Nino de Angelo for his new songs, which come strong and authentic straight from his life. With his songs "Die Zeit heilt keine Wunden" and "Gesegnet und Verflucht," he has gained many new fans while not losing his old loyal fans!

"Gesegnet und Verflucht – that is my life story," says Nino de Angelo. "I was richly gifted and have also fallen very deeply! The songs on these CDs are my life's work, and I had to go on stage to reach people with them!" And he has succeeded in reaching people:

"Remarkably many fans have come, and the arena is completely blown away. Nino de Angelo brings happiness moments to the audience" (Leipziger Volkszeitung)

Tickets may still be available at local advance booking offices or at the box office.

Let´s Rock! STATUS QUO are coming to Germany!
British boogie legends announce 14 summer shows as part of the big "Live 2024" tour including shows with Spider Murphy Gang and Canned Heat!

"Calling out to anyone who wants to know. We´re ready for the road it´s nearly time to go."

A song passage from the STATUS QUO classic "Let´s Rock" from 2011 perfectly describes what German fans can already look forward to in 2024. Because: Organizer RBK Fusion GmbH (Berlin) announced today 14 big open-air shows of the British boogie legends for the upcoming summer!

"Rocking ´round the world like a band on the run. I like it, I like it, yeah we´re gonna have fun."

14 shows, where of course the QUO mega-classic "Rockin´ All Over The World" must and will not be missing - just like "Whatever You Want", "In The Army Now", the perennial opener "Caroline" and so on!

Guitarist and band founder Francis Rossi promises: "The fans will hear plenty of our hits from six decades of STATUS QUO. We can't play them all unfortunately, because then the concert would last over five hours." Easy to understand with 100 hit singles in 60 years of band history.

"We´re gonna take it to the limit, take it to the top. Pull out all the stops and give it all we´ve got."

The fact is: Rossi & Co. will give it their all as usual, after all STATUS QUO with their energetic live show rightfully and still count as one of the best live bands of all time!

"Getting down, down, down, getting into the groove. Yeah, all you gotta do is shake your body and move."

Even "Down Down", the Englishmen's first number-one hit, naturally belongs firmly in the QUO program and never leaves any fan calm. Whether "Let´s Rock" 2024 is also on the setlist of STATUS QUO remains a secret. Either way: The song is perfect as the motto of the summer open-air shows of the boogie kings! As the chorus so wonderfully aptly puts it:

"Let’s rock, let’s rock it. Let’s rock ‘n’ roll all night long!"

This is guaranteed by the special guests Spider Murphy Gang, who have proven themselves several times as a "Perfect Match" in duo with STATUS QUO in Germany and are on the (pre)program for seven dates of the summer tour '24. On July 8, 2024, in Munich, Canned Heat can be experienced in a package with headliner STATUS QUO.

The exclusive presale starts on October 20, 2023 at 12 PM.

EVITA
Lyrics by Tim Rice Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Directed by the original production by Harold Prince
German by Michael Kunze
"Don't cry for me, Argentina" - with a key song that topped the charts even before the premiere, a sound that combines pop, Latin, and lush string sounds, and a completely new narrative style without dialogues, Webber and Rice revolutionized the genre of musicals. EVITA began a worldwide triumph and was awarded with every imaginable prize. The story of the rise of María Eva Duarte de Perón, known as Evita, who fought her way up from the Argentine provinces to become the wife of the president and spiritual leader of the nation, still captivates audiences today. The citizen choir makes their musical debut in the pivotal role of the Argentine people. Experience them together with our charismatic professional ensemble in a thrilling show.

Tickets are also valid as a ticket for the entire KVV network on the performance day in 2024.
