Experience Jacques Offenbach's famous operetta in a completely different way - Michael Quast ensures this at the Volksbühne im Grossen Hirschgraben. He reads, sings, dances and plays the play, which premiered in 1858, single-handedly - and he does it with flying colors! And that's what the play is all about:
The mediocre musician Orpheus and his fun-loving wife Eurydice experience a story that literally takes the audience from heaven to hell, where the Olympian gods, kept pretty short by their boss Jupiter, get completely uninhibited and engage in the most famous can-can in musical history.
How Quast brings all this to the stage all by himself is something you simply have to have experienced for yourself.
