Du sollst nicht lieben by Kreisler, ndz 29 paź 2023, od (2023/2024), W reżyserii Leah Willeke, Dyrygent Thomas Wicklein, Bühne am Park, Gera, Niemcy

"The friend of a friend of a friend of mine married a one-legged man and has become very happy with him. Since Lothar already has one foot in the grave, that's no different.” Sonja The relationship between Sonja and Lothar is and will remain a compromise. Because she, a young single parent, and he, a pseudo-intellectual bachelor, are no more together than together lonely. After a phase of reluctantly falling in love, Sonja and Lothar find themselves in the midst of the lived clichés and poetically absurd everyday problems of a married life together. It's clear early on: "We'll probably be spared great love." The pianist and linguistic virtuoso Georg Kreisler (1922-2011) is best known as the interpreter of his numerous cabaret songs. Kreisler also wrote a good three dozen stage plays, including You Shall Not Love , an anti-romance in 17 scenes. First performed in Cologne in 1999, the two protagonists in the musical comedy discuss and sing about the absurd as well as true-to-life and masterfully practice the art of talking past each other. The lyrics written by Georg Kreisler are also ironic to cynical. A colorful compilation of classical music, song and opera musically underscores how Sonja and Lothar make life difficult for themselves and each other - always accompanied by a lot of pessimism and a piano. In this way, things that only belong together with great reservations are brought together.
