In the organizer's words:

Introduction and rehearsal visit. If you would like to know what to expect from our new productions and upcoming concerts before the premiere, the taster sessions are the right place for you. They offer anyone interested the opportunity to get an insight into our program in advance - free of charge! This time: "Sweeney Todd", a musical thriller by Stephen Sondheim, which premieres on January 31 in the main auditorium of the Stadttheater.

About the play:

As we all know, revenge is served cold. But barber Benjamin Barker likes it hot. Fifteen years ago, a shady judge destroyed his family and wrongly convicted him. Now he returns to the dark alleys of London. His alias: Sweeney Todd. His tool: razor-sharp. Mrs. Lovett, a pastry chef with a special knack for secret ingredients, takes care of the "leftovers" ... Stephen Sondheim's music weaves a dark atmosphere of murder, greed and betrayal with powerful melodies. The result is a gripping musical thriller that combines the horror of the human psyche with biting humor.
