Med Spader Dam bjuder vi på en föreställning som är tät av åtrå och habegär, för att fånga och ifrågasätta vår tids omisskännliga dekadens. Spader Dam — girighet, beroende och de val som definierar våra liv Spader Dam är en gåtfull berättelse om begär, öde och förlorade drömmar. En hemlighetsfull grevinna sägs känna till en kortspelsteknik som garanterat leder till vinst och framgång. När den unge Herman hör talas om henne föds en besatthet inom honom: han måste få henne att avslöja hemligheten. Grevinnans fosterdotter Lisa blir katalysatorn som späder på Hermans åtrå och leder honom till de fördolda rum, där allt ställs på sin spets. Kamraterna tar fasta på Spader Dams starka tema om konstruerade världar, giriga inre röster och spelberoende, en verklighetsflykt som kan få ödesdigra konsekvenser. I Kamraternas tappning är Herman en antihjälte som slits mellan sitt spelberoende och kärleken till Lisa. Inget är vad det ser ut att vara och Herman leds allt djupare ner i kaninhålet. Är han en fri aktör, eller bara en spelpjäs i ett större spel? Kamraterna förvandlar Spader Dam till ett timslångt, intimt kammarspel med fyra sångare och en okonventionell pianotrio. Med Teater Galeasen som fond skapas en miljö för dramat som för tankarna till The Matrix och Taxi Driver. Med en visuellt slående estetik och en emotionellt laddad musikalisk tolkning ställs frågan som alla måste besvara: vilket piller väljer du – det röda eller det blå?

JULIUS CAESAR moves into the school playground in a new opera Love, rage and revenge – director and choreographer Clara Svärd has transferred Handel’s 16th century opera to the way middle school children rapidly turn from play to being dead serious. In Sophie Helsing’s libretto the historic characters have become children in a school playground. Conflict and infatuation tear the children apart, until they find their way back to friendship. Magdalena Åsberg’s set shows the school playground both as a crime scene and a stage. What happens when the game gets out of hand? Sesto is a boy who mourns his dead father and does almost anything to join the other children – and they exploit his weakness. But when Julius and Cleo develop feelings for each other it upsets the equilibrium of the group. Young Opera present Julius Caesar, Handel’s classic opera about passion and rivalry, here in a school playground where conflicts surface and loyalties quickly shift.

It is Figaro’s and Susanna’s wedding day. But not only the bride and groom are looking forward to it. The Count is more interested in Susanna than in the Countess. She, in turn, mourns her husband’s lack of affection at the same time as she is flattered by Cherubino, who is obsessed with her – and, it seems, every other woman. Le nozze di Figaro is a whirlwind of love, desire and complications, and a portrayal of the demise of the old system. Mozart’s iconic comedy is one of the world’s best loved operas. We now present it in a completely new production, made by the same creative team that created Il barbiere di Siviglia in spring 2024. The characters are older, less naïve, more world weary and decadent, but very human.

Mediet är en rysaropera av den italiensk-amerikanske kompositören Gian Carlo Menotti. Han fick idén till operan när han besökte en seans i Österrike 1936 och fascinerades av deltagarnas starka tro. De var övertygade om att de verkligen fick kontakt med sina döda anförvanter.
