Salzgitter
Conductor and host: Dr. Nicholas Milton # Who would have thought back then that Johann Strauss (son), born almost exactly 200 years ago, would one day become a waltz king? One whose works have been among the most frequently performed for what feels like an eternity. # Johann Strauss II, the son of his namesake father with strong Viennese roots and a heart beating in triple time, created sparkling waltz and polka hits that have stood the test of time. # Chief conductor Nicholas Milton lives up to his reputation and also spices up the program with little interjections from other composers. # Welcome 2026!
In London and New York, this gripping and extraordinary theatrical experience was rightly celebrated. Tony Award winner Simon Stephens has written a radical new version of the masterpiece "Uncle Vanya" — for a single actor. Chekhov's story is both hilariously funny and painfully tragic: it is about how people deal with one another, shaped by fear, embarrassment, and indifference, but also by compassion and loving devotion. It is about the hope for redemption and the dream of a little happiness. And our choices determine whether, in the end, regret or love remains. What does it actually mean to be human in these macabre times? Oliver Mommsen plays all the roles in the play. In the process, a closeness develops between actor and audience that allows for a deep dive into the human psyche. Audience and artist become a conspiratorial community. An evening full of dark humor that you won't soon forget!
The Lions Club Salzgitter e.V. invites you to its traditionally grand concert in support of young artists. This time, young musicians from the Hildesheim Music School are the guests. The soloists, ensembles, and orchestra present a colorful program ranging from classical to pop.
Captivating soundtracks, unforgettable melodies, and cinema for the mind: the Göttingen Symphony Orchestra invites you on a musical journey through the world of film music. Under the title “An Evening at the Oscars,” the orchestra performs immortal compositions by Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and many others. Guests can look forward to music from “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and much more!
At the center of this brilliant classic comedy is the hypochondriac Argan, whose thoughts revolve only around himself and his physical well-being. The situation comes to a head when Argan's second wife Béline, who married him only for his money, enters the picture and wants to have Argan sign a will in her favor, for which she secretly stirs up intrigue. After several complications, it finally ends happily: Béline's deceit is exposed, and Angélique can finally marry her Cléante. The tragedy of the story is that Molière, who himself played Argan in the premiere of "The Imaginary Invalid," was seriously ill. In the fourth performance on February 17, 1673, he suffered a hemorrhage at the end of the performance and died shortly afterward still in costume. Thus this comedy remained his last play, and it became one of his most successful. To this day, the wonderfully eccentric characters are indispensable on theater stages around the world!
