Giselle
About missed opportunities. The classic told from a new perspective.
Seemingly weightless floating bodies in white, floor-length tutus have shaped the image of romantic-fantastic ballet for generations - but there is much more profound in the classics than the fascination with aesthetics. "Giselle" has a central and absolutely timeless message: a brief moment can mean an eternity, and the ghosts of a missed happiness will never find peace.

Il barbiere di Siviglia
A romantic-comedic endurance run to a dream wedding
Rosina wants to get married! The suitors: Don Bartolo, her guardian, who is eyeing her inheritance, and Count Almaviva, who is not of bad parents but knows the bride as little as she knows him. When Bartolo senses that a rival has appeared, he tries to hasten the marriage and slander the opposing bridegroom to Rosina. The latter wants nothing less than for Rosina to burn with genuine love for him. It is a good thing that he can count on the support of the go-getting Figaro in this mission. The game of disguises and identities can begin.
