Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Dorsaf Hamdani / Pierre Clavé / Yousef Zayed

Dorsaf Hamdani is considered one of Tunisia’s greatest voices. She has sung classical Arabic-Andalusian music at the Cairo Opera House, but has also worked with no less passion with musicians from different genres. Above all, she sets store by passing on the cultural influences behind her own vocal art – these include, in particular, the great singers of the Middle East: Oum Kalthoum from Egypt, Asmahan from Syria and Fairuz from Lebanon. Hamdani dedicated a very personal album to these three icons in 2011, which she now translates into a concert programme.

Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel / Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella

A silver-knitted dress with a train to the ball – but a princess it is not.« Anyone who can solve this riddle will undoubtedly make you part of the huge fan community of »Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella«. All fans of the classic cult film can already look forward to the coming Christmas season in particular: then, after sold-out dates last year, the wonderful fairy-tale classic can finally be experienced again in radiant cinema format and with a large orchestra.

Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte nach Charles Dickens

in a version by Cornelius Henne and Felix Bachmann with music by Dominik Dittrich

With lots of live music!

"Merry Christmas? – Pah, humbug, nonsense!" For Ebenezer Scrooge, human emotions and warmth are a complete waste of time. He is only interested in his business and the wealth he has accumulated, and is also a decidedly unfriendly person. A case for the three spirits of Christmas: On Christmas Eve, they take Scrooge on a journey through time, from the past to the future. They lead him back to his childhood and youth – what a grump he was even then. They show him how happily the people around him celebrate Christmas and how they can forget their worries for a change, and they look with him into his future, which will be sad and bleak if he continues to live so greedily and mercilessly. It would be a laugh if the spirits failed to warm the cold heart of the old miser with this journey. So will Ebenezer Scrooge become a different person and will he celebrate a merry Christmas after all?

For many years, Felix Bachmann and his team have been responsible for the Christmas plays at the St. Pauli Theater. Following "The Jungle Book," "Robin Hood," and most recently "Peter Pan," among others, the program now features another classic of world literature, Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" – not at all dark, but full of humor, colorful imagery, and plenty of live music.

For children ages 5 and up!
