Oliver Twist

In the organizer's words:

The story of the orphan boy Oliver Twist is world-famous. Many have read the novel by Charles Dickens at school, others have seen a film adaptation or a stage play. A theater version that has been successful for 20 years has now been turned into a German musical and is celebrating its premiere in the Silbersaal just in time for Christmas. Look forward to a heart-wrenching play with Tanja Maria Froidl and Henriette Schreiner in the leading roles!

THE TOUCHING STORY OF AN ORPHAN BOY

The orphan Oliver Twist grows up in miserable conditions in the poorhouse of a small English town. When he starts an apprenticeship with the coffin maker Mr. Sowerberry, his life becomes unbearable and he flees from hunger and poverty to London to try his luck there. But the big city doesn't have anything good in store for him at first either, as he falls into the clutches of a gang of pickpockets who want to incite him to steal and exploit him. But Oliver also meets kind people who take pity on him and help him. In the end, amazing things about his origins come to light!

MUSICAL BY PAUL STEBBINGS AND CHRISTIAN AUER

Writer and director Paul Stebbings was awarded the MBE by Queen Elizabeth in 2014 for his services to British culture. Together with British composer Thomas Johnson, he wrote a theatrical version of Oliver Twist 20 years ago, which has since been exported to over 15 countries. Together with the musician and composer Christian Auer, he created the musical version with six-part vocal movements, which is now being performed in German for the first time.
