The Canterville Ghost There are no ghosts! Or is it? In any case, the Bürkli family from Zurich doesn't believe in it - until one day they find themselves in a gloomy old castle in Scotland. Georg Bürkli bought the “old box” in order to have it renovated and then resell it – at a profit, of course. If only it weren't for that weird bloodstain on the floor that comes back in exactly the same spot every time you wipe it away! The rattling of chains at night is also somehow eerie, not to mention the ghostly draught, which is always present in this castle. And didn't that portrait just move over there over the fireplace? In fact - Sir Simon, the ghost of Canterville, has been haunting these walls, which are at least as old, for four hundred years! But the ghost seems to have seen better days; Only Mrs Umney, the housekeeper in the castle, finds the spook really frightening. The twins Leon and Noël, George's sons, have fun scaring the poor ghost themselves; Virginia, George's daughter, even feels sorry for poor Sir Simon, because he's doomed to haunt the castle for eternity, when actually he's terribly tired and would much rather die... After thatTreasure Island , the Canterville Ghost is the second premiere of a children's opera on our programme. This time the music is written by the Berlin composer Marius Felix Lange - he can conjure up a really nice, spooky ghost atmosphere with music! Scary lovers from the age of 6 and those who want to become one can rejoice!
