Everyone wants to travel to Rossini's coronation opera, but no one really gets off the ground. Stranded at the Hotel Zur goldenen Lilie, the group of travelers, made up of all kinds of bizarre characters, soon realize that there is no way out of their situation: no trained hotel staff, no horse-drawn carriages to shuttle them to the train station. Strange events unfold during their increasingly long stay and they are gradually caught up in their dark past, which is soon given a name: Corinna, their former rival. Rossini's "The Journey to Reims" was written on the occasion of the coronation of Charles X. The composer wrote a farce that not only rises above the superficialities of nobility, but also above operatic clichés, creating an opera buffa with great ease, featuring the most beautiful bel canto arias and absurd humor. The team around director Anna Weber turns the material into a bizarre and surrealistic crime comedy, complemented by further music by the composer.
