Christmas at Alte Oper

As the festive season approaches, the chairs and music stands remain in storage, while stage sets and costumes make their way into the building: Christmas at the Alte Oper is the time for international musical productions and children's musical theatre. For big emotions and stage magic. For songs that stick in your head and rousing dance scenes. 

In this case, superlatives are appropriate: with Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare not only wrote one of the most important dramas of all time around 430 years ago, he also created the most famous love story in world literature. Since then, the couple has fought for their love in countless adaptations. Now it's time for a modern, contemporary and youthfully fresh version of the classic. After acclaimed performances in Berlin, the production will go on tour for the first time in 2026, stopping off in Frankfurt.

Victor Hugo wrote a story of love, courage and humanity in 1831 with his "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Exactly 30 years ago, Disney's animated film adaptation of the story became a box office hit. Shortly afterwards, Oscar winners Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz brought their musical of the same name to the stage. Recently, the Budapest Operetta Theatre has released a makeover of the musical. A stage epic full of passion and hope that focuses on contemporary issues such as exclusion and discrimination, as well as pressing questions of tolerance and humanity, in a way that can be experienced with the senses.
