The Other Queen of Memphis

Memphis, Tennessee. Rapper Lachat (Chastity Daniels) takes us on a journey through her own stories, guiding us through a city full of ghosts and dreams. Memphis is the city where Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968 at the Lorraine Motel, and it was never the same after that. We see music queens and ghosts from a time that cannot be named. After the death of her best friend, the rap icon Gangsta Boo, in 2023, Lachat gives us an intimate account of where it all began for her.

The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny

A hard-hitting new production of Kurt Weill’s Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny by the Catalan collective La Fura dels Baus at the Teatro Real de Madrid. Composed in the 1930s by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, this is a mordant satire on capitalism and the inexorable industrialisation of a society in which the ultimate crime is not having money. In twenty scenes the authors tell the story of a city lost in the middle of a desert and run by three thugs; in Mahagonny food, sex, gambling and violence rule supreme.

Paname, Le Grand Paris du Rap

And what if rap had been the first and true manifestation of the Grand Paris? Paname, le Grand Paris du rap tells the story of an extraordinary decade, the 2010s, during which the Île-de-France region established itself as one of the main centers of rap music worldwide. From the Sexion d'Assaut to PNL, via l'Entourage, Kaaris, MHD and Fianso, we delve into the roots of this scene, drawing on its diversity, and navigating both sides of the ring road: a look back at ten years that have changed music... or that music has changed.

Sound of Heimat - Deutschland singt

In the musical road movie, New Zealand musician Hayden Chisholm sets out on a journey of discovery across Germany in search of German folk music. As a stranger with an unbiased view of German culture and an open ear for the lyrics and melodies of modern and traditional musicians, he encounters a lively diversity of regional customs and activities. In Sound of Heimat – Deutschland singt, directors Arne Birkenstock and Jan Tengeler also shed light on the ambivalent attitude toward folk music and the understanding of one's own homeland that is so widespread in Germany. These are topics that have been forgotten in many places due to past ideologization and the "ideal world" of the Musikantenstadl.

Puccini: Manon Lescaut

All the throbbing eroticism—and ultimate heartbreak—of Puccini’s youthful score is unleashed by James Levine and his top-flight cast. Plácido Domingo is Des Grieux, the handsome, headstrong young aristocrat who falls head over heels for the enticing, impetuous Manon Lescaut (Renata Scotto). Manon returns his love, but her obsession with luxury ruins them both. Gian Carlo Menotti’s opulent production, with sets and costumes by Desmond Heeley, superbly captures the colorful world of 18th century France.
