Die lustigen Nibelungen

Approved

For those who find Wagner's music and drama food difficult to digest or who want to get to know the famous heroic epic from an extremely enjoyable side, the Landestheater has the opportunity to experience a hearty parody of the German cult for the first time. Intrepid, brave heroes? Inviolable rulers? Nothing. Here you will get to know the Nibelungen family in a way that you would never have thought possible: as weak fearful rabbits, belligerent and not always quite sane fighters or relentless furies. How lucky that everything in operettas (almost always) has a happy ending!

Oscar Straus aimed satirical-parodistic swipes at current conditions and grievances. DIE LUSTIGEN NIBELUNGEN was banned under the National Socialist regime and was not rediscovered until the 1970s. Whether snappy drinking songs, brief flashes of allusions to Wagner, folk melodies, pathetic hymns, gallant waltz rhythms, jagged marches - when characterizing his characters and the situations they get into, Straus does not hesitate to pull out all the stops of the musical variety of styles.
