Der Graf von Luxemburg Opens Tonight

January 11, 2014 By Ian Sidden

Tonight, we’re opening Der Graf von Luxemburg at Theater Dortmund. This is my first experience with the operetta, and I’ve grown to love it. The story is wacky, the characters are charming, and the music ranges from boisterous to luscious.

Our production is fun and energetic with outrageous costumes and gorgeous sets, and my colleagues at the theater have done an amazing job putting it together. I’m really looking forward to performing it before an audience.

One Year Later

On March 13, 2020, we had our last large premiere at Theater Dortmund with the chorus onstage. We performed “Die Stumme von Portici” to a nearly empty auditorium, a so-called Geisterpremiere. We nevertheless, of course, gave it our all. There have been other premieres since then as the lockdowns have come and gone, but so […]
