Opera by Jaromír Weinberger in two acts (five acts) Libretto by Miloš Kareš In Czech with German surtitles Recommended for ages 14 and up A veritable cockcrow in the orchestra takes us to Schwanda's farm, where his wife Dorotka looks after the poultry. The robber Babinský lured Schwanda to adventures in the wide world, and he left his wife behind. With his bagpipes he warms the heart of the ice queen. However, when she realizes that he is already married, his head has to roll. As if by magic, the executioner's ax turns into a broom, but Schwanda only escapes danger for a brief moment, because a thoughtless word catapults him straight into hell, where the devil is endlessly bored. Schwanda steadfastly refuses to play something on his bagpipes for the Prince of Hell. Although the devil succeeds in wresting Schwanda's soul from him, Babinský is smarter than the devil himself. He frees Schwanda from hell and brings him back to Dorotka. It's nicest at home, because here "you can hear the geese screeching, and the rooster crows too". The Graz new production is staged by Dirk Schmeding, who is very familiar with the Czech repertoire with Janáček productions and most recently “Rusalka” in Braunschweig. Robert Jindra provides authentic Czech sound splendor.

A veritable cock crow in the orchestra leads us to Schwanda's farm, where his wife Dorotka tends the poultry. The robber Babinský entices Schwanda to go on adventures in the wide world, and he leaves his wife behind. With his bagpipes he warms the heart of the ice queen. But when she realizes that he's already married, his head rolls. As if by magic, the executioner's ax turns into a broomstick, but Schwanda only escapes the danger for a brief moment, because a careless word catapults him straight into hell, where the devil is infinitely bored. Schwanda steadfastly refuses to play anything on his bagpipes for the prince of Hell. The devil does manage to steal Schwanda's soul, but Babinský is more cunning than the devil himself. He frees Schwanda from hell and brings him back to Dorotka. It's most beautiful at home, because here “you hear the geese screaming, the rooster crows too”.
The new production in Graz is staged by Dirk Schmeding, who is very familiar with the Czech repertoire with Janáček productions and most recently with “Rusalka” in Braunschweig. Robert Jindra ensures authentic Czech sound.
