Pippin- Die Kunst Des Lebens
"Come a little closer and enter a wondrous show that promises great things: ""We must perform magic, just for you, we must perform miracles!"" Prince Pippin - based on the historical eldest son of Charlemagne - embarks on a theatrical experiment, and his life falls into the hands of a dazzling leading actress and her troupe of artists. Under their guidance, he goes through various phases to find his way in life and become ""something extraordinary"". But which path is the right one, and will the ""grand finale"" really bring him the fulfillment he hopes for? The original version of Pippin from 1972 won five Tony Awards, and the 2013 Broadway revival received four of the coveted trophies. The Staatsoperette presents the legendary music of composer Stephen Schwartz, a four-time Grammy and three-time Oscar winner, in a new orchestral arrangement by Koen Schoots. Simon Eichenberger, who acts as both director and choreographer, tells this coming-of-age story in a spectacular show."
