The Beggar Student (Der Bettelstudent)

Love and freedom – these ingredients make it possible to create a compelling story for every era and place. What is true love? What does personal freedom mean in a constrained society? Carl Milloecker’s operetta, The Beggar Student, skillfully tackles these major issues, thereby creating a moving tale with inspiring music that is elegant and entertaining. It effortlessly manages to thread the fine line between seriousness and amusement. Produced by the operetta specialist, Karl Absenger.   

The Rape of Lucretia

Le Prophéte (the Prophet)

Musically enthralling, virtually “overrunning” the audience with the force of his compositions, the operas of Giacomo Meyerbeer's (1791-1864) are composite theater presentations. He was not only an electrifying composer but a talented dramaturge who intertwines all the components of music theater such as choreography, composition, instrumentation, text, and staging into a total concept. At the Landestheater Linz, the audience can savor first hand Le Prophète, the spectacular opera that first premiered in Paris in 1849 to sensational reviews and re-experience the rise and fall of the counter-reformation Anabaptist movement in the 16th Century.
