Rendezvous um halb 8

The guest this time is Düsseldorf drag queen Loreley Rivers. Emerging in the 1990s from the desire for self-determination and freedom, drag is now a globally widespread art form that literally offers the possibility of an individual, self-determined identity with stage potential “in disguise”. And this is where drag and opera meet at eye level: slipping into characters, regardless of their nature or gender, creating an illusion - with character - can be found in every opera role, but also in many art songs and chansons. Together with members of the ensemble, Loreley Rivers can be experienced in song, costume and conversation.
It will be colorful, amusing and passionate.

This season, the ensemble of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein has arranged to meet in style three times for exciting dates with strong musicians from the region at the stage bar: Klezmer, jazz and drag in musical dialog with aria, song and Lied! A musical rendezvous with a chat about music and the world, before perhaps even jumping into the crossover box while making music together.
