Last night, we had the premiere of “Im weißen Rössl” at Theater Dortmund.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard our audience laugh as hard or as consistently as they did last night. The creative combination of the cast and Regie team has really made magic here.

For my part, I enjoy singing the tunes, and I’m always happy to have a chance to do any kind of stage dancing. Naturally, the chorus isn’t tasked with carrying the bulk of the dancing duty, but I’m happy how well integrated we were into the big numbers. It’s always thrilling to hit that final pose and hear the audience erupt. That will never get old.
