Kostprobe: Die Troerinnen

In the organizer's words:

Introduction and rehearsal visit

If you would like to know what to expect from our new productions and upcoming concerts before the premiere, the taster sessions are the right place for you. They offer all interested parties the opportunity to gain an insight into our program in advance - free of charge! This time: "The Trojan Women", a play by Euripides with music, which premieres on March 1 in the main auditorium of the Stadttheater.

About the play:

Troy has been defeated. But the war is not over as long as the dead still live in the hearts of the (over)living. And so Hecabe, the widow of the Trojan prince Priam, accuses the Greeks. However, the Greeks regard the women as booty that can be taken to Greece as slaves and lovers. Euripides' tragedy, first performed in 415 BC, harshly criticized Athens' imperial policy in the Mediterranean region. Above all, he placed women at the center of his accusation. The new Bremerhaven version emphasizes this aspect with specially composed music for the Stadttheater's opera choir.
