The Capitol has a long musical tradition
Musicals have had a special place at the Capitol since the production of "Der kleine Horrorladen" in late 1997. The theater is known far beyond Mannheim's borders for these musical theater productions in particular. These in-house productions are staged by the creative team and the ensemble themselves. The repertoire not only includes classics such as "Jesus Christ Superstar", "HAIR", "EVITA" and "La Cage aux Folles". The team led by artistic director Georg Veit is constantly trying out new forms. For example, the musical theater Karl Drais, written by Veit for the Monnem Bike anniversary, impressed the press and audience alike. With the last major productions "HAIR", "Karl Drais", "Im weißen Rössl", "EVITA", "Blume Peter", "Ewig Jung" and "La Cage aux Folles", Capitol has once again developed further and is now a household name in the musical scene throughout Germany.
But there is no standing still. New productions with the well-rehearsed Capitol Ensemble are on the program every year. The members of the Capitol Ensemble also work at other theaters. For example, Sascha Krebs performed for many years in Cologne, Stuttgart and Berlin in the Queen musical "We Will Rock You" and Jeannette Friedrich in Mannheim as well as in Freiburg, Zurich, at the Staatstheater Darmstadt and Kassel. Jana-Marie Gropp already enjoyed great success as a soloist during her studies with the Philharmonie Südwestfalen, the New Chamber Orchestra Düsseldorf and the Romanian State Philharmonic Orchestra, among others, and has performed in internationally renowned concert halls such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Tonhalle Düsseldorf and the Philharmonie Köln. Sascha Kleinophorst has also toured throughout Germany in several formations, including as frontman of the band We Rock Queen.
Capitol has built up an outstanding reputation in the scene through engagements with various musical stars from Europe, who complete the permanent ensemble. In recent years, Zodwa Selele, Roberta Valentini, Sascha O. Bauer, Victor Hugo Barreto and Aris Sas have performed on the Capitol stage.
