Felix - the lucky one - the son of a bankrupt sparkling wine manufacturer, is a master at playing people exactly what they want to see in him. His happiness is being able to be anything in a world of fakes that no longer knows any truth. Thus he is what he seems, authentic by deceiving, expert in creative self-promotion. Felix Krull - Thomas Mann's ravishing parody of an artistry of brilliant appearances, which in the end produce exactly what they are not: life itself - a real hoax. We regularly present performances of "Felix Krull - Stunde der Hochstapler" with English surtitles. You can find the dates here. Our box office staff will be happy to tell you from which seats you will have a good sight-line to the surtitles. For the best view of both stage and surtitles, we recommend seats in the stalls (Parkett) from row 11, or in the balconies (1. Rang, 2. Rang). Seats in the side boxes have a partially obstructed view.
