DIRECTING
"The Barber of Seville" presents a great challenge for a marionette stage. Not least the numerous props used by the marionettes require the highest demands on the puppeteers. Letters and feathers, boxes and chests, and even musical instruments must be mastered. While Rossini wrote 'The Barber' in just three weeks, the marionette opera required a total of six months of preparation.

STAGE HISTORY
The premiere of 'The Barber' on February 20, 1816 in Rome became a huge scandal: a performer fell, a guitar string broke during the serenade, and finally, a cat ran across the stage. However, the second performance was already a great success. In the same year of the premiere, performances before enthusiastic audiences took place in Bologna and Florence. The triumph of "The Barber of Seville" had begun: Performances in eight Italian cities in 1817 were followed by performances in Barcelona and Vienna in 1818, and in Paris and at La Scala in Milan in 1819. The opera reached New York via London ten years after its premiere. As a model of an era of opera buffa, "The Barber of Seville" is one of the most frequently performed works in the world of music theater.

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"

With songs such as "Sound of Silence," the US-American duo Simon & Garfunkel created poetic anthems for an entire generation and secured their place in music history with songs like "The Boxer" and "Bridge over Troubled Water." For several years now, the duo Graceland has been intensely exploring the musical spirit of their role models with "A Tribute to Simon and Garfunkel." Always approaching the great compositions with the necessary respect and aiming to deliver musically high-quality interpretations of Simon & Garfunkel's world hits. However, one thing is particularly important to the duo: "We do not want to be a copy, neither visually nor vocally."
The interaction of the two voices and two guitars turns the songs of Simon & Garfunkel into an extraordinary musical experience. You can expect a concert with two artists who come remarkably close to their idols from America. The number of concert attendees speaks for itself: For years, the two musicians have been successfully touring Germany and Europe. Sometimes as a duo, sometimes with a classical string quartet, and a few times a year even with a 52-piece orchestra. During their concerts, they interpret the heartfelt songs and "rock" their audience in other moments.
An evening with Graceland is not only something for nostalgia enthusiasts who like to take out their old records or CDs from the shelf. The songs of Simon & Garfunkel are timeless good music and appeal to music lovers of all ages.

Doors open: 7:00 pm, free seating.

The exhibition BODY WORLDS in Berlin is dedicated to the theme "Facets of Life".

Dr. Gunther von Hagens opens up the human body in his Body Worlds exhibitions, making the fragile, worthy structures of life visible to medical laymen. Together with curator Dr. Angelina Whalley, he shows in the exhibition in Berlin-Mitte the facets of life - between happiness and unhappiness, pressure and equilibrium, chance and fate, obsession with the body and forgetfulness of the body, as well as excess and modesty.

The museum opened its doors in Berlin in 2015. It is located at Alexanderplatz directly in front of the Berlin TV Tower. Since then, visitors have had the opportunity to marvel at a variety of unique plastinates. These provide a deep insight into the highly complex interior of the human body. Interested individuals receive detailed knowledge about organ functions and common diseases, all easily understandable. The lifelike poses establish an immediate connection to the viewers.

What connects us, what keeps us upright and in motion, what makes us laugh and love? At BODY WORLDS, you will find answers to these and many other questions. Prepare yourself for a deeply touching and inspiring encounter with life. Do not miss a visit and experience the fascination of plastination.

The first BODY WORLDS museum presents unique plastinates that show the function of individual organs as well as common diseases. It gives insights into the highly complex and structures of the human body and shows what connects us, keeps us upright and in motion, and what makes us laugh and love.

Moreover, the Museum opens the visitors' eyes to various facets that determine our existence: Gluttony & Restraint | Excess & Moderation | Chance & Fate | Pressure & Balance | Happiness & Unhappiness

Welcome to the realm of knowledge in the Baroque era: Stepping onto creaking floorboards into the quiet grandeur of our historical library hall, one is immediately enveloped by the collective knowledge of the Early Modern period. Like stage sets in a Baroque theater, the original bookshelves jut into the space, housing around 50,000 books from all fields of knowledge. Behind unassuming book spines lie remarkable treasures, such as the first German Bible printed in America.

At the end of the 17th century, the orphanage's library was established as one of the first public libraries in Germany. Primarily through donations, book exchanges, and their own publications, the library grew so rapidly that within a few years, it was comparable to significant German university libraries. In 1728, it received its own building, which is considered the oldest surviving secular library structure in Germany. Not only in recent times has the library been visited by guests and researchers from around the world: Albrecht von Haller, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe all admired its bibliophilic treasures. We present a selection of them for you in rotating cabinet exhibitions in the former reading room of the library.

10 am - 5 pm

The Art and Natural History Chamber is considered the oldest German museum room. It was established by August Hermann Francke for educational purposes and is now once again set up according to the original museum concept of the 18th century in its historical location in the attic of the Historical Orphanage.

Eighteen richly decorated collection cabinets house approximately 3000 natural specimens, curiosities, and artifacts. They provide a unique impression of a Baroque cabinet of curiosities. Unlike modern museums, the chamber follows an encyclopedic collecting approach. A distinction is made between natural specimens and artifacts. The natural specimens are divided into rocks, plants, and animals, while the artifacts are categorized into visual arts, calligraphy, coins, everyday culture, and clothing. The goal was to create a mirror image of the world: a microcosm that made the macrocosm as the wonderful creation of God tangible.

In a series of events, art projects take place around the Art and Natural History Chamber. In the so-called "Contemporary Reflections on the Art and Natural History Chamber," foundations invite artists to engage in an artistic dialogue with the chamber.

Palace-like, the orphanage rises on Franckeplatz. Then as now, it is the centerpiece of the Francke Foundations. Erected in 1698 as the first building of the school city, it represents a new facet of European Baroque, combining confident representation without extravagant ornamentation and setting the tone for orphanage architecture.

Today, the orphanage is our museum and cultural center. Right from the start, two permanent exhibitions guide you through the history of the foundation and the global impact of Pietism. On the first floor, the former prayer and singing hall surprises with its bright architecture. Today, it enjoys an excellent reputation as a concert hall due to its fantastic acoustics. In the adjacent conference rooms, a photo exhibition showcases the impressive renovation work since the foundations were reestablished in 1991. The second floor is reserved for our changing special exhibitions, which provide insight into important themes of the foundation's history from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Passing through the art and natural history collections in the attic, you reach the balcony via a narrow wooden staircase. Here, a wide view opens up over the impressive ensemble with school buildings from three centuries. There is also a splendid panorama of the Old Town of Halle from here. In the basement, children can explore their own paths in the Krokoseum.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
