Chicago von Erfolgsduo John Kander und Fred Ebb, die auch den Musical-Hit Cabaret geschrieben haben, ist eine der erfolgreichsten Broadway-Produktionen aller Zeiten. Das Musical um zwei Frauen, die für den Erfolg buchstäblich über Leichen gehen, hat bis heute weltweit über 31 Millionen Zuschauer:innen begeistert. Songs wie „All that Jazz“, „Mister Cellophane“ oder „Cell Block Tango“ wurden auch abseits des Musicals zu Jazz-Klassikern.

Mit Chicago kehrt Regisseur Felix Seiler an die Staatsoper Hannover zurück, der hier bereits 2022 mit seiner poetisch-märchenhaften Inszenierung der Operette Die Zirkusprinzessin das Publikum begeisterte. Die Hannoveraner Neuproduktion von Chicago bietet alles, was man sich von einem großen amerikanischen Musical verspricht: eine spektakuläre Bühnenshow, mitreißende Tanznummern, starke Charaktere sowie eine packende und zugleich sozialkritische Story mit viel Leidenschaft, Sex, Intrigen, Mord und „all that Jazz“!

Chicago by the successful duo John Kander and Fred Ebb, who also wrote the musical hit Cabaret , is one of the most successful Broadway productions of all time. The musical about two women who literally kill themselves for success has thrilled over 31 million viewers worldwide to date. Songs like “All that Jazz”, “Mister Cellophane” and “Cell Block Tango” also became jazz classics outside of the musical.

With Chicago, director Felix Seiler returns to the Hanover State Opera, who thrilled audiences here in 2022 with his poetic, fairytale-like production of the operetta The Circus Princess . The Hanover new production of Chicago offers everything you would expect from a great American musical: a spectacular stage show, rousing dance numbers, strong characters and a gripping and at the same time socially critical story with lots of passion, sex, intrigue, murder and “all that jazz”!

Chicago by Kander, Fri 17 Jan 2025, From (2024/2025), Directed by Felix Seiler,, Conductor Piotr Jaworski, Opernhaus, Hanover, Germany
