Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel / Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel / Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella

»A little hat with feathers, a crossbow over the shoulder – but it is not a hunter. A silver-knitted dress with a train to the ball – but a princess it is not.« Anyone who can solve this riddle will undoubtedly make you part of the huge fan community of »Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella«. All fans of the classic cult film can already look forward to the coming Christmas season in particular: then, after sold-out dates last year, the wonderful fairy-tale classic can finally be experienced again in radiant cinema format and with a large orchestra.

PROGRAM

Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel (Direction: Václav Vorlíček, ČSSR, DDR, 1973)

Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte nach Charles Dickens

in a version by Cornelius Henne and Felix Bachmann with music by Dominik Dittrich

With lots of live music!

"Merry Christmas? – Pah, humbug, nonsense!" For Ebenezer Scrooge, human emotions and warmth are a complete waste of time. He is only interested in his business and the wealth he has accumulated, and is also a decidedly unfriendly person. A case for the three spirits of Christmas: On Christmas Eve, they take Scrooge on a journey through time, from the past to the future. They lead him back to his childhood and youth – what a grump he was even then. They show him how happily the people around him celebrate Christmas and how they can forget their worries for a change, and they look with him into his future, which will be sad and bleak if he continues to live so greedily and mercilessly. It would be a laugh if the spirits failed to warm the cold heart of the old miser with this journey. So will Ebenezer Scrooge become a different person and will he celebrate a merry Christmas after all?

For many years, Felix Bachmann and his team have been responsible for the Christmas plays at the St. Pauli Theater. Following "The Jungle Book," "Robin Hood," and most recently "Peter Pan," among others, the program now features another classic of world literature, Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" – not at all dark, but full of humor, colorful imagery, and plenty of live music.

For children ages 5 and up!

Engel Maxi

Mrs. Claus has delivered all the presents, and heaven is empty. But one child has been forgotten! Angel Maxi secretly flies to Earth to deliver her beloved ukulele as a gift. Together with a Hamburg ship's rat, Maxi then discovers how to celebrate Christmas and what truly belongs to the festival of love.

Ensemble 1700 / Dorothee Mields / Matthias Brandt / Dorothee Oberlinger

The shepherds were the first to learn of the birth of the infant Jesus on Christmas Eve – and in memory of this, they travelled to Italian cities for centuries with their bagpipes and shawms at Christmas to make music and pray. Recorder virtuoso Dorothee Oberlinger combines this tradition with the most beautiful Christmas Baroque music, complemented by Matthias Brandt’s fitting narratives to create a colourful, refreshingly kitsch-free Christmas tableau.

Exhibition and opening >>Fidele Fauna

A crocodile on Altona beach or a wild herd of pigs as the fictional namesake of the Elbe island of Schweinesand – a large joint exhibition displays pictures of small, large, dangerous, cuddly or bizarre animals.

‘We believe that the diversity of the exhibition can provide great artistic enjoyment and pleasure for all generations, and we are very much looking forward to unleashing this artistic zoo on the public,’ says painter and graphic artist Miriam Diezmann, who has been responsible for the exhibitions in the gallery of the Elbschloss Residenz for two years.

The works approach the animal world in very different artistic styles and show the artistic range with which the subject can be dealt with.

Here: animals and humans in charming coexistence: a baby elephant that wants to read along. There: birds stealing the clothes of someone bathing in ice water.

Horses that sweep us away with their energy. Big, round eyes to fall in love with. Alert eyes that look at us critically.

The animal pictures evoke emotions in us. Are the motifs based on real events, or do they follow the stories that have been spread about them? Stories, or more precisely, poems with a wink, complement some of the pictures and complete the exhibition.
