Director: Torsten Fischer. Stage and costumes: Herbert Schäfer, Vasilis Triantafillopoulos With: James Tyrone: Peter Kremer Mary Cavan Tyrone, his wife: Judith Rosmair James Tyrone Jr, their elder son: Igor Karbus Edmund Tyrone, their younger son: Fabian StrombergerA terribly nice family. The abysmal life of a family, told in a single day, between morning and midnight: the Tyrones are finally reunited after a long time. And there are arguments, as so often. Father James, once a successful stage hero, tyrannises the family with his avarice. Mother Mary, once a beauty queen, has not been through her first rehab programme. Like his father, son James is an actor, cynic and drinker. And the younger son Edmund suffers from tuberculosis, which is trivialised as summer flu. Success and contentment gradually turn out to be self-deception. Only Mary still harbours hope for the "tiny measure of love that exceeds the measure of hate". Judith Rosmair, Peter Kremer (known from the TV series "Siska", among others), Igor Karbus and Fabian Stromberger uncover the psychological wounds of the family members they portray layer by layer. Nobel Prize winner Eugene O'Neill himself stipulated that his autobiographically motivated play would only be premiered after his death. Today it is one of the classics of American drama, honoured with the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award, among others.

BALLADE is the tale of an era, or rather two. A diptych, between autobiography and desire for care, loneliness and spirit of community: the present day with its bewilderments is the focus of Elegia by Morelli, while the 1970s and 1980s are portrayed in the choreography that gives the entire show its name, Ballade by Bigonzetti. The pieces accompany the audience on a journey between different generations. Bigonzetti's choreography is sewn onto a musical dramaturgy that draws on Prince, Frank Zappa, Leonard Cohen and the CCCP and is inspired by one of the most significant literary voices of the time, that of Pier Vittorio Tondelli. Morelli's Elegy was born around Frédéric Chopin. Within and in opposition to the music, the eight bodies of dancers seem to want to go beyond themselves in search of the care of the other. Tears of poems by Mariangela Gualtieri approach this fragile and hesitant humanity not devoid of impulses of the soul. Ticket: www.teatro-bolzano.it/

'I love the epic, I love the chorus, I love the tragicomic nuance: The Empyrean is all of this together. And that's not all: it tells a compelling story. It is a contemporary text that dares to be set in the 1700s, precisely in March 1759. A contemporary text in costume? No way!’ Serena Sinigaglia brings to the stage L'Empireo (The Welkin), the most recent text by British playwright Lucy Kirkwood, winner in 2014 of the Laurence Olivier Award, the highest accolade in British theatre, whose plays are hosted and produced by the National Theatre and the Royal Court Theatre in London. Translated by Monica Capuani and Francesco Bianchi, L'Empireo (The Welkin) is presented for the first time in Italy. ‘L'Empireo is an extremely monumental and ambitious text: set in the mid 18th century in rural England, it tells the story of a jury of twelve women summoned by a judge who cannot execute a girl for murder because she claims to be pregnant,’ writes Capuani, journalist and translator, a point of reference for English and French theatre literature. ’The female jury will have to decide the truth or otherwise of this claim, and will thus have the power of life and death over her. From this female microcosm, the fundamental and timeless issues of women's lives in any era emerge. First of all, the unfair treatment that the law written by men still exerts on women and their bodies‘’. Sinigaglia continues, ‘Empireo is the first play I have come across that tackles gender issues and does so without conceding anything to rhetoric or banality. It is dry, rough, true, on a par with reality. It also gives space to actresses, 19 characters of which 17 are female. A nice inversion from the average of characters conceived and written for women'. Ticket: www.teatro-bolzano.it/

Theatre play based on a guest performance by the Bronski & Grünberg Theatre, Vienna, co-production with the Volkstheater/Bezirke. Direction and set design: Kaja Dymnicki, Alexander Pschill Sound design: Katharina Stögerthe Volkstheater/Bezirke. Direction and set design: Kaja Dymnicki, Alexander Pschill Sound design: Katharina Stöger Dramaturgy: Lisa Kerlin With: Antonio Salieri: Christian Dolezal Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Julia Edtmeier Cavalieri/Constanze Mozart/von Strack: Agnes Hausmann Emperor Joseph II/Leopold Mozart: Doris Hindinger Dr Zwackelmann and live music: Belush Korenyi A little laughter music. Vienna has its new superstar! Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Emperor Joseph II brought him from Salzburg to Vienna to compose an opera. Even though the court is extremely sceptical about the idea, the ingenious rascal Mozart and his Constanze escape their strict father and now compose side by side with conductor Antonio Salieri. And he is also very good. And very successful. And so far the emperor's favourite. But not a child prodigy. Next to the genius of Mozart, Salieri's hard-won fame quickly faded. And when diligence, faith and a well-behaved lifestyle - even chastity - are punished by God with mediocrity and you also recognise and even love the genius of your adversary, then you can get a taste for revenge ... Peter Shaffer's play "Amadeus" has enjoyed cult status not only since Miloš Forman's film adaptation, which won eight Oscars. Kaja Dymnicki and Alexander Pschill have turned it into a play with plenty of slapstick and humour.

A comedy, free and provocative, that investigates with amused lightness the inhibitions and hypocrisies of our time. Amanda Sandrelli and Gigio Alberti, two of the most versatile and sensitive performers on the Italian scene, are the protagonists of Vicini di casa, an adaptation of the play Los vecinos de arriba by Cesc Gay. Accompanying them on stage are two very talented actors, Alessandra Acciai and Alberto Giusta. A close-knit and irresistible quartet that invites the spectator to reflect on prejudices and taboos. Anna and Giulio have been together for many years. They have a job, a child, some interests and many frustrations. He would have liked to be a musician but had to settle for teaching. She would have liked another child but has had to accept his resistance and seeks comfort in self-help manuals. A couple like many others, on the borderline between love and habit, precariously balanced. But still in balance. Unhinging this apparent stability are Laura and Toni, their neighbours, who burst into their flat and their lives. Anna and Giulio know little about them: they have been polite during the renovation work, they politely open the lift door to let them through and... they make love all the time, noisily! Giulio considers them uncivilised, Anna has the courage to admit that, deep down, she envies their lively erotic life. So, between a glass of wine and a slice of Pata Negra, the two couples confront each other, less and less shyly, on the slippery terrain of sexuality. Laura and Toni turn out to be much more reckless than expected; Anna and Giulio end up confessing fantasies, vices and secrets they had never had the courage to share. Ticket: www.teatro-bolzano.it/

Thursday, 13 March 2024 - 8.00 pm in german language The title says it all: inconsistent, because Eva Maria Marold takes us on a journey through all eras and genres of the music world with Andi Pilhar (keyboard) and Goran Mikulec (guitar) and radical, because she doesn't whistle anything. Born in Burgenland, she is a born singer, so she takes the audience into the world in which she feels at home, the world of music, and delights them with her very own interpretations of well-known songs from A for ABBA to Z for ZAPPA. ‘If you sing, you don't have to talk much,’ is Marold's motto, which of course she doesn't stick to. Radically inconsistent, in other words. When she takes part in the matchmaking programme Herzblatt, she plays all three contestants at the same time. And when she reads from Fifty Shades of Gray, she can't sing either. Especially if you want it to sound sexy and submissive. So everything remains... radically inconsistent.

The Schenna music band does one of their concerts at the club house Unterwirt.

In german language. Dominic Deville has written a book about his years as a nursery school teacher. Entitled: From the everyday life of a fearless pedagogue. These experiences are naturally also a topic in his new stage programme. After seven years of late-night shows on SRF 1 television, the cabaret artist has been drawn back to the stage. Deville seeks answers from ‘OFF!’, so to speak, to questions that he never dared to ask in front of the television cameras: When does the common recorder publicly distance itself from National Socialism? And the question of why pre-school children can drive the nursery school teacher mad, and then not even dangerous-looking wolf gloves help, is also answered. Unashamed, charming and quick-tempered, Deville wraps his audience round his finger with original, snotty malice. Deville received the ‘Salzburger Stier’ radio cabaret prize for ‘OFF!’ in 2023. The stage performer Dominic Deville combines the best of television and stage in ‘OFF!’. A cheeky, surprising show that proves it: Once you've been through the tough school of television entertainment, you can mature from it.

ONLY IN GERMAN AND ITALIAN! It's healthy, delicious and packed with vitamins: the South Tyrolean apple. Here in Schenna, this popular fruit has everything it needs to truly thrive: sun, elevation and the Alpine-Mediterranean climate. How these advantages affect its taste and what needs to be considered in cultivation, harvest, and storage is revealed in this educational walk with apple farmer Stefan along the new wine and apple trail "bacchus & pomina" on the Mitterplattweg path. The tour is rounded off with a tasting of apples and apple juice at the starting point of the wine and apple trail.

What matters in life "It is now certain for all eternity that I will never marry," Victor is convinced of this at the beginning of the story. Will he still be at the end? Victor is still young and grew up with his stepmother Ludmilla and stepsister Hanna, where he experienced a lot of affection. Before he starts his first job, he is supposed to visit his uncle, the brother of his long-dead father. Full of hope, Victor sets out to find out about his family history, but encounters a bitter old man who has closed himself off from love and affection all his life. He is a true hag, that is, an old bachelor. The Oheim holds Victor for longer than he would like. But he has a life message for him ... Two generations discuss the existential questions of life. Philipp Hochmair brings the text from the Biedermeier era into the present day. Accompanied by electro-jazz from the band "Die Elektrohand Gottes", he reinterprets it without exploding it performatively. Because "the wildness contained in the text is played out in the language", says Philipp Hochmair. A wildness that is irresistible.

Fri, 21 March 2025 - 8:00 pm in german language Andreas Vitasek's new programme ‘Spätlese’ is a satirical look at the turn of the century: Tart, but with a pinch of residual sweetness, he sheds light on current topics such as climate protection, the pandemic, political correctness, advertising, artificial intelligence and natural stupidity. Vitasek takes the audience on nostalgic trips back to a time when everything was supposedly better and talks about his own past as a child in Favoriten and his life as a boomer in the posh diplomatic quarter. Of course, an old acquaintance is not to be missed - as well as many astute observations and just as much humour. ‘Spätlese’ offers trenchant, tongue-in-cheek and sometimes acerbic entertainment that will make you laugh as well as think. An unforgettable evening full of humour, depth and melancholy and the highs and lows of the modern world.

In german language. Happily into the depths with Solga. Germany has always been the great role model - not least in South Tyrol. Simone Solga does away with that. The best German of all time increasingly looks like a giant padded cell. And beware if anyone complains. About a policy that can no longer do anything and can no longer get anything right. From the railway to the military: the most diverse thing about Germany is now its various failures. It's true! Simone Solga creates a programme lasting around two hours, as if she were chatting in an intimate circle, moving from one topic to another, and because she talks in such a funny and entertaining way, people let her. She has been touring successfully with her own cabaret programmes since 2000, including as Angela Merkel's fictional prompter (‘Im Auftrag Ihrer Kanzlerin’, 2013 to 2017). This earned her the German Cabaret Award 2014 and the Salzburger Stier 2015, among others.

Sissi the Empress is the story of the restless and tormented life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria. The text unfolds in various pictures, each of which examines certain aspects of the Empress's character and thinking: from philosophy to sex, from politics to art. The general portrait that gradually emerges reveals a woman as non-conformist as she was deeply frustrated by the rigidity and ruthlessness of the Viennese Court, but also the great poetry and desire for freedom of a creature who considered herself eternally ‘locked in a cage’. Anorexic, eternally mourning the absurd deaths of two of her children, she developed a sensitivity that was at once sorrowful and angry, but anything but abstract, in fact also directed towards the most delicate social issues: from the suffering of ethnic minorities to the abuses suffered by the proletariat. Anti-imperialist and disgusted by the atrocities of the wars raging around her, Sissi maniacally devotes herself to the care of her body, a barrier against the sense of death hovering around her. Prophetess of the imminent collapse of the Habsburg Empire, Sissi shows us that world as a paradigm of our world, Empress in spite of herself, but an unrepeatable woman whose wounded sensibility speaks to all of us, to our wounds.

The Wiener Sängerknaben is one of the most famous choirs in the world, and one of the oldest: the first reference to choirboys in Vienna Castle dates back to 1296. Two hundred years later, on July 7, 1498, the future Roman-German Emperor Maximilian I founded a chapel in Vienna in which boys were to sing alongside adult singers; choirboys from Augsburg, Innsbruck and Freiburg im Breisgau were sent to Vienna for this purpose. They were to sing "an ambt" every day. This laid the foundation for the Vienna Boys' Choir. Like their modern-day successors, the boys were always "on the road" with their imperial employer - they sang at imperial festivals, coronations, weddings, processions and court festivals. Over the centuries, the Viennese court attracted brilliant musicians such as Heinrich Isaac, Johann Josef Fux, Christoph Willibald Gluck and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Joseph and Michael Haydn and Franz Schubert sang in the choir as boys; Anton Bruckner was their singing and piano teacher.

FarmFood Festival - The best from South Tyrol's farms. Five regions of South Tyrol. Only selected quality products. 100% from the farm. That is the FarmFood Festival. On March 29, 2025, South Tyrol's farmers of the "Roter Hahn" quality seal will present themselves and their quality products at the Merano Kurhaus. The event will focus on diversity and high quality, tasting, getting to know and enjoying. The aim is to raise awareness of the high-quality farm products that are grown and processed under the sign of regionality and seasonality. In addition to tasting and selling quality products, a varied program with blind tastings, cooking shows and a gala dinner awaits visitors.

The ideal spot for a sustanaible shopping experience that is local by nature or a voyage of discovery in search of South Tyrolean flavors and traditional expertise. The market stalls were designed by Martino Gamper, a designer born and raised in Merano, who has since made a name for himself internationally.

Thanks to the sunny location, the mountain season starts earlier in Naturno than elsewhere. We open the new season on the Merano High Mountain Trail together with the mountain farmers of the Naturnser Sonnenberg mountain. The mountain farmers provide rare insights into their lives, traditions and everyday life. Another highlight is the culinary offer. The Sonnenberg mountain inns and farm taverns will spoil you with tasty dishes from the region.

ONLY IN GERMAN AND ITALIAN! Around the beehive grow many garden and wild herbs, such as sage, thyme, rosemary, wormwood, ribwort plantain, ground elder, yarrow, and nettle. From these, herbal drinks are prepared, while herb expert Brigitta Patzleiner explains the healing properties of each herb. Afterwards, the healthy cocktails are tasted. Additionally, three products to take home are made together from the herbs: a marigold salve or lip balm, an herb salt, and an herbal liqueur. Herbs are so valuable because all their elements, such as minerals, vitamins, and nutrients, correspond to the substances in the human body. Therefore, they can be easily absorbed by the body and transported to where they are needed. For example, a green drink made from rosemary stimulates circulation and provides energy, activates the brain, and improves concentration and memory.

ONLY IN GERMAN AND ITALIAN! (English on request) Overcome anxieties and literally “go with the flow” - of the waterfall. This abseiling trip to Partschins Waterfall is a truly special experience. Furthermore, the sound of the roaring mass of water tumbling into the valley has a positive effect on our wellbeing. Achieve inner balance with mindfulness and feelings of happiness. Under the professional guidance of a mountain guide, it's not hard to “let go”. Completely securely, participants descend almost 100 metres down the right-hand side of Partschins Waterfall using several lengths of rope alongside the thunderous water - even swinging freely for the last section. A unique experience that clears your head and reminds us of the lightness of being. Thrilling moments and unforgettable emotions! Suitable for participants with no prior knowledge.

This extraordinary tour offers not only an unforgettable nature experience but also numerous health benefits. The cool night air and gentle movement strengthen the immune system, while the pure mountain air, whose high quality has been confirmed by studies from the Technical University of Munich, is particularly beneficial for the respiratory tract. The soothing sound of the waterfall and the nocturnal atmosphere promote mental recovery and stress reduction. The moderate ascent gently supports heart and circulation. Moreover, the combination of movement and fresh air can positively influence metabolism and help alleviate metabolic disorders. Last but not least, nighttime activity in nature can improve mood and regulate the sleep-wake rhythm, which can be particularly helpful for seasonal depression. A boon for the lungs, balm for soul and senses. Measured movement combined with targeted climate exposure and expert guidance for endurance and thermoregulation training lead to relaxation and recovery, but also to hardening and strengthening of the immune system. The approximately two-hour night hike leads from the center of Partschins through orchards and deciduous forests to the impressive Partschins waterfall. The path covers about 430 meters in altitude.

ONLY IN GERMAN OR ITALIAN Niedereben Farm is situated at an altitude of 634 metres on Nörderberg mountain. Benefiting from the advantageous climate, olives, grapes and cacti all flourish here.

Cows, pigs, quails, ducks, geese and chickens all feel like “pigs in clover” on the farm! This introduction to the long history of the farm gives visitors an insight into livestock husbandry and wine growing on the Vinschgau’s Nörderberg mountain and shows the route taken from the first olives to the production of the farm’s own olive oil. The following products are available to buy directly from the farm shop: speck (bacon), salami, smoked sausages, cooked herb-crusted ham, Coppa ham, farmer’s speck, seasonal fruit and vegetables, and in the autumn months chestnuts and pumpkins, apple juice and Vernatsch wine.
