The premiere of „Scary Opera I“ took place on 27.05.2015 at the Exerzierhalle of Oldenburgisches Staatstheaters.
Scary Opera I&II were created for and with the ensemble of the Oldenburg State Theatre and are crossover pieces in the best sense of the word. Singers and actors share the stage here, opera meets pop music, classical crime comedy meets horror film aesthetics. Nothing is sacred here, the two evenings parody everything and everyone, the performers both themselves and the audience. With all the trash and silliness and above all all the circling around oneself and one's own guild, the question arises at the end: what is the point of it all? - apart from a lot of fun, of course.
