CABARET NEWMusical in two acts

Producer Roman Hovenbitzer (Germany)Musical Director and Conductor Tarmo LeinatammConductor Lauri SirpStage Designer Roy Spahn (Germany)Light Designer Palle Palmè (Rootsi)Choreographer Jean Renshaw (Great Britain)

“I find this city enchanting. Everything is so full of life and lavish here. People have been taken over by an obsessive thirst for having fun. If it were a film, I wonder what could happen here? A volcano could erupt, the city might be struck by a tempest and a flood…” (Cliff)CABARET lets the audience take a glimpse at a pleasure-seeking society. The life filled with frivolous and promiscuous entertain-ment reminds us of someone dancing on a precipice.The song “Tomorrow Belongs To Me” hints at the emerging natio-nal socialism that does not care about the wellbeing of the indi-vidual nor about the world of artists and outcasts.CABARET has been hugely successful all over the world thanks to its enthralling music and fantastic show combined with a serious theme. A theme that always touches, and moves us, the audience.

GREASE NEWMusical in two acts

Director Georg Malvius (Sweden)Musical Director and Conductor Tarmo LeinatammStage Designer Ellen Cairns (Scotland)Lighting Designer Palle Palmé (Sweden)

Greasers was the name given to a working class youth subculture in the United States as the male members of the subgroup were in the habit of greasing their hair with pomade.The musical is set in Rydell High School in 1959. Having had a love affair in summer, Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski end up in the same school in autumn. However, at school Danny is the leader of the gang of greasers called the Burger Palace Boys, and being the leader it is not suitable for Danny to show his feelings. The overly demure and disappointed Sandy then joins the girls’ gang called the Pink Ladies. After several ordeals Danny finally realises that Sandy is his true love. Sandy, in turn, finds that in order to win Danny back, she needs to change her image...A musical of the same name was produced in 1978 in Hollywood, directed by Randal Kleiser, making John Travolta, who was only 23 at the time, and the Australian singer Olivia Newton-John, fa-mous all over the world.

CASANOVABallet in two acts

Choreographer-Director, Costume and Music Designer David Sonnenbluck (Belgium)Historical costumes Mare TommingasLight Designers Imbi Mälk, Andres Sarv

From time to time the fate of Casanova has excited the desire for beauty. That scandalous Venetian was not only an adventurer, fraud and a freethinker as he is usually portrayed, but also a poet, memoir writer, philosopher and musician. Emanating from that, David Sonnenbluck with its style as well as music has created a timeless ballet – it is baroque as well as contemporary at the same time.The production makes use of the music by Mozart, Vivaldi, Typsi and traditional Arabic music.

WERTHER Opera in two acts

Musical Director and Conductor Paul MägiConductor Lauri SirpDirector Albert-André Lheureux (Belgium)Designer Liina Keevallik

Werther is hopelessly in love with the beautiful Charlotte, who returns his affection. However, because of a promise she made to her dying mother, the girl marries another man and Werther commits suicide.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s novel The Sorrows of Young Werther published in 1774.The deeply romantic story of a young poet was a sensation and be-came one of the most read books of the time. The highly popular novel even influenced fashion – young men throughout Europe tried to emulate Werther’s style of clothing. Alas, this success had a less pleasant side to it, as many young men also committed sui-cide in the same way as Werther.

FAIRY QUEEN(HALDJAKUNINGANNA)Semi-opera in two acts

The Annual Awards 2012 of the Estonian Theatre Union – Jury’s Special Award to the creative team

Director, Choreographer, Visuals Sasha Pepelyaev (Russia)Music Director and Conductor Lauri SirpCostume Designer Liisi Eelmaa

“Purcell’s „Fairy Queen“ seems to be a brilliant and enigmatic example of conceptual baroque performance. Originally per-formed as a part of colossal court show, it carries on its own beau-ty and secrets. Fantastic, naive and wise characters do not hurry to reveal their goals and means. Decorated by the Purcell’s melo-dies’ jewellery, they observe Shakespeare’s „A Midsummer Night’s Dream“ and make their own comments and conclusions. We can only guess what all those stories, words and sounds meant 400 years ago. But the desire to stage this opera now immediately demands a whole set of keys for the endless doors of its labyrinths. I went to the area of machinery and absurd mechanics to search for those keys. So here it is: a kinetic conceptual „Fairy Queen“ driving through the forests and palaces of „No fear Shakespeare“. “

Alexander Pepelyaev January 16, 2011

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST NEW(KAUNITAR JA KOLETIS)Ballet

Music: Joaquin Turina, Malcolm ArnoldDirector-Choreographer Silas Stubbs

The ideas behind the story are a lot to do with how people are judge or treated differently because of their appearance. Because of how the two main characters look, they both feel they do not fit into society. She is beautiful and so she expected to marry well. But it has attracted someone she does not love. He has scars on his face so is seen as a monster by society. They both are dreamers so they feel trapped and constricted by the depressing world they live in. Although they are very different people they find that they share a similar mind and imagination. It is a love story also...they are attracted by each other inner beauty etc.
