In the organizer's words:

by Peter Jordan & Leonhard Koppelmann
With the music of Georges Bizet
Arranged by Matthias Stötzel & Uwe Granitza

Almost everyone knows the melodies and arias from George Bizet's "Carmen"; it is not for nothing that this opera is one of the most frequently performed operas of all time. After their huge success with Brecht's "Threepenny Opera", Peter Jordan & Leonhard Koppelmann are now venturing to transplant this great opera to the small St. Pauli Theater. And they wouldn't be Jordan & Koppelmann if they didn't do it all with a cheerful twinkle in their eyes.

For their wild venture, they have enlisted two musical magicians in Uwe Granitza and Matthias Stötzel, who dress the well-known melodies in a new, surprising guise that is sometimes chanson, sometimes Caribbean flair, Roaring Twenties, New Orleans jazz - and sometimes reminiscent of Brecht and Weill.

Not by chance - because this "Carmen" is set in St. Pauli in the 1920s. A brilliant ensemble around Anneke Schwabe as Carmen from Barmbek and the former James Bond villain Götz Otto - who is also allowed to show his darkest side here - perform in an atmospherically dense harbor story, set somewhere between "Großer Freiheit Nr. 7" and "Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins".

Jordan & Koppelmann stage a great revue on the stage of the St. Pauli Theater with everything that goes with it: comic and dramatic moments, many great dance ensemble numbers, wonderful songs and, of course, lots of fun!
