'Is that how everyone does it? No, that's how everyone does it!' ... right? Two couples – one bet – chaos guaranteed. Five possible endings, and you decide which one you want to see.
A modernised, scenic version of Mozart's opera for young audiences and anyone who wants to enjoy an entertaining, humorous evening.
In collaboration with the Beethoven-Haus Bonn
- Michael Donak, bandoneon
- Arsen Zorayan, violin
- Hamburg Stage Ensemble
The Hamburg Stage Ensemble is made up of young, highly qualified instrumentalists who together pursue the vision of not only playing music, but also communicating it. The joy of playing together takes centre stage. The small ensemble and the conscious decision not to have a conductor means that the audience can participate directly in the concert.
Once again, violinist Arsen Zorayan will be the soloist and artistic director, and once again the audience will be taken on a journey through the four seasons - but this time the composer is not Antonio Vivaldi, but Astor Piazzolla. Multifaceted, exhilarating tangos and ballads by Piazzolla and other Latin American composers will also be heard in the second part of the programme, for which the Hamburg Stage Ensemble has been able to secure the outstanding bandoneonist Michael Dolak as a soloist.

- Annique Göttler, piano
The programme of the piano recital is less a linear narrative than an artfully woven tapestry of scenes, moods and inner monologues. It combines three great musical languages – at the heart of this concert evening are Frédéric Chopin's four ballads – independent masterpieces full of poetry, drama and pianistic brilliance. Instead of presenting them as a cycle, they are deliberately placed individually between the works of two other great composers – in order to highlight their individual character, their respective narrative power and emotional depth. Ludwig van Beethoven's Sonata Pathétique, with its passionate seriousness and formal clarity, forms a striking contrast to Chopin's free ballad form.
Claude Debussy's Children's Corner, on the other hand, brings lightness and subtle humour to the programme – an imaginative homage to the world of childhood, written with the eye of a mature master.
A concert full of contrasts and narrative diversity – with Chopin's ballads as both its centrepiece and its common thread.
- Frédéric Chopins, Vier Balladen
- Ludwig van Beethovens, Sonate für Klavier (c-Moll) op. 13 (Sonate pathétique)
- Claude Debussy, Children's Corner

- Olga Reznichenko, piano
Olga Reznichenko began her training as a classical pianist at the age of eight, but soon discovered her passion for jazz. The young virtuoso student of Richie Beirach and Michael Wollny is now regarded as one of the most interesting figures on the current jazz scene and is making a name for herself above all with her trio. Here she combines complex harmonic and rhythmic structures with a simpler and minimalist texture and easily accessible melodies. As a soloist, she also allows her pieces to emerge from improvisation and gives space to her pure, intuitive joy of playing.
The concert will be recorded by Deutschlandfunk.
- Ensemble Paper Kite
- Antonio De Sarlo, violine I

- Marie Heeschen, soprano
The world-famous composer Alessandro Scarlatti was a musical border crosser like almost no other Baroque composer. He left his mark on music around 1700 with furious and fiery arias, but also with fragile melodies and a complex compositional technique with daring harmonies. To mark the 300th anniversary of the composer's death, Paper Kite plays a special selection of Scarlatti's serenatas and combines the Sonata a quattro No. 1, a forerunner of the string quartet, with the Cavatina from Beethoven's String Quartet op. 130.

- Sergei Babayan, piano
Sergei Babayan's SONGS programme is a poetic journey on the piano through the vocal music of different eras – each piece sounds like a song without words. Inspired by masterpieces from the vocal repertoire, Babayan has put together a colourful mosaic of transcriptions for this evening – from Liszt and Rachmaninoff to his own arrangements.
The first part features Schubert songs in virtuoso arrangements by Liszt, romances by Schumann, Liszt and Rachmaninoff, and sensitive transcriptions by Ponce, Kreisler and Volodos. The second part is devoted to lyrical miniatures by Mompou, Sibelius, Komitas, Poulenc, Gershwin and others – including transcriptions by Babayan himself. He transforms vocal gems such as Grieg's 'Ein Traum' and Fauré's 'Au bord de l'eau' into deeply felt pianistic monologues.
