Brandner Kaspar

In the organizer's words:

THEATER CLASSIC AS A MUSICAL

Who doesn't know the story of Brander Kaspar? Several stage versions and film adaptations have been dedicated to the Bavarian national hero and, since 2022, a musical for the first time. Rocking songs, crazy punchlines and a deep love for the Bavarian homeland: the audience was thrilled and the Silbersaal was sold out. Now Benjamin Sahler's heavenly production is back.

REACHING INTO THE WORLD OF BAVARIAN LEGENDS

The story of how the moonshiner and gunsmith Kaspar Brandner succeeds in intoxicating the "Boandlkramer" with cherry brandy and wresting eighteen more years of life from death by playing cards is part of the Bavarian identity. However, composer Christian Auer and librettist Karl-Heinz Hummel have not just packed the whole thing into wonderful songs. The story is brought to life in a completely new way with an engaging take on Bavarian legends.

LOVE FOR THE BAVARIAN HOMELAND

In heaven, many things are in upheaval and almost drive Peter the Porter to despair. Now even the reliable Boandlkramer is being ripped off. The Brandner triumphs over the years of life he has gained - but will it end well? Fortunately, with the help of the Rockadirl, the Wetterhex and the Trud, the Boandlkramer manages to make the Brandner clearly feel the limits of age. The Boandlkramer is finally able to persuade him to at least take a look at paradise on a trial basis . Will he stay? Only time will tell ... But one thing is certain: this Brandner Kaspar is a deeply comedic musical with wonderful songs in catchy tune quality and full of love for the Bavarian homeland.
