Chemnitz Opera in the Rangfoyer

entrance 8 €

Sometimes opera is like a merry-go-round: three dozen masterpieces keep coming back. No wonder we are all too quick to think we know their creators like the back of our hand. In the series Who the hell is ... ? series, singers, musicians and dramaturges present unusual and surprising aspects of the composers represented in the programme in a relaxed musical programme.
Ludger Vollmer composed the opera ‘Rummelplatz’, based on the novel by Werner Bräunig. It will celebrate its world premiere at Chemnitz Opera on 20 September 2025.

Theater Chemnitz is developing the multi-part project Rummelplatz. The starting point is Werner Bräunig's novel of the same name, which Ludger Vollmer (composition) and Jenny Erpenbeck (libretto) are adapting as a work of music theatre for the stage. The world premiere of the work is planned for autumn 2025. It will be about how people relate to social conditions, the political system and the thoughts and moods of their time. The project is part of the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.
