The Wiener Johann Strauss Concert Gala 2026 in Merano, the world’s most famous Strauss Gala. The K&K Philharmoniker of Kendlinger celebrates the music of Johann Strauss & Co. with passionate mastery and unmistakable Viennese charm.

After having written and performed a very successful apocryphal of Ruzante, Natalino Balasso takes on Bertolt Brecht in an attempt to restore the German playwright's observational spirit in the insidious contemporary context. "Obviously we cannot imagine what Bertolt Brecht would write if he lived, today, immersed in our culture, eighty years after the end of the Nazi horrors, within a much more complex and stratified economy and finance. Yet those horrors and prevarication are wretchedly relevant today, in other forms and with more devious weapons,' writes the Venetian author and actor. "In this Joan of the Unemployed, Brecht's characters act in new contexts and with new words, but continue to be immersed in the terrain of dominance and subjection. The algorithm may seem less evil to us, but at the end of the day it is as perfidious and cruel as a master in the flesh. Multinationals continue to prevaricate, hurt and hit the weakest, in all countries. [...] And then there are the people: millions of individuals increasingly isolated, increasingly oppressed by the commercial-advertising-social world that is massacring communities. In this mass of monads emerges the economic superman, without true thought and without depth. As in Brecht's Saint Joan of the Slaughterhouses, we will see the vicissitudes of Pierpont Mauler, of his subordinates, of Cridle, of Lift, of the biggest lobbyist of the moment: the terrible Graham; a world of tycoons that is opposed by Joan Darko, with her socialist community. But perhaps an online community is not a community, but a multitude of monads telling each other the dream of the tribe. This, perhaps, is the real contemporary drama. With all humility, we are presented with this Brechtian apocrypha, as if it were written under dictation. This is only possible with the help of the immutable art of theatre which, while entertaining us, as Gramsci said, tries to throw bombs in our brains'.

Hasnain Kazim, born in 1974 in Oldenburg, is the son of Indian-Pakistani parents. Unfortunately, it is not surprising that he, as a journalist who writes about sensitive topics in media with a wide reach and has a foreign-sounding name, receives angry mail. But instead of simply clicking away the hateful, often racist or Islamophobic outpourings of "real Germans" such as "Heinz K.", "Maria gegen Scharia", "HermannThe-German" or "Siegfried Drachentöter", Kazim replied quick-wittedly and wittily. Because he did not want to leave the nonsense in his own mailbox uncommented. Again and again, enlightening dialogues resulted from this. With his comments, Kazim gained a large following on social media and became a bestselling author. Today he lives in Vienna and, in addition to books, continues to write for media such as ZEIT, Süddeutsche Zeitung or taz. Jochen Schölch has brought excerpts from Hasnain Kazim's book "Post von Karlheinz" to the stage of the Metropoltheater: Armed like an orchestra with a music stand and recorders, Thorsten Krohn, Thomas Schweiberer, Bijan Zamani and Lucca Züchner compete in the spoken opera in which razor-sharp humor defies hatred and agitation.

Lu santo Jullare Francesco by Dario Fo is a fabulation on the life of the saint from Assisi that takes up the styles and forms of narration of the mythical Mistero Buffo in the theatrical language of grammelot. Working on popular legends, canonical texts from the 14th century and documents that have emerged in recent decades, the Nobel Prize winner constructs a powerful, playful and certainly not hagiographic narration of the “Jester of God”, as Saint Francis liked to call himself. Fo's tale is - at one and the same time - spirituality and myth, fable and satire, and sketches a Francis as a man who strips himself of all wealth to approach the dispossessed, to preach to men, wolves or birds a message of brotherhood and peace, to compose and set to music his Canticle of the Creatures. Giving voice to this tightrope walk on the eighth centenary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi will be Ugo Dighero, actor-actor, already the interpreter for years of Mistero Buffo on the ‘blessing’ and urging of Fo himself, perfect histrion and jester of today. 2026 is also a special year to remember Dario Fo: it is the anniversary of his birth and ten years since his death. It is impossible not to celebrate his extraordinary theatrical career. Bringing this marvellous jester to the stage today cannot but take into account that in 2013 the late Cardinal Bergoglio, who became Pope, chose, emblematically, politically and for the first time in history, the name of Francis: the saint of peace and smile, of the custody of creation, of the poor church for the poor. Following Fo's lesson, the performance will thus move along two parallel paths, retracing the historical reality of Francis' journey in the Christian world and at the same time recounting the reforming revolution that Pope Francis has sought to implement in the Church of our time.

Michael Mittermeier goes travelling through time.... in Merano After almost four decades of comedy tours, the popular German cabaret artist Michael Mittermeier is going where he has never been before: into the future. As long as it still exists! But how to get there? In the 80s, you still travelled there by car. Typical. But how do you get there today? Is time travel even possible? Yep, he did it! FLASHBACK - Return of the future The solution was in the cellar: ‘Michl's’ great-grandfather was an inventor, a kind of Bavarian Oppenheimer. And he built a time machine over a hundred years ago. The thing stood in his grandparents' cellar for decades and didn't work. They always said it was a prototype for solar heating. But the battery was flat. But now it's ready to go! Drive: comedy. Fuel: humour. Michl, energy! But travelling alone is less fun, so he takes the audience on a journey - together into the future! With a transition jacket, of course. And while you're there, it's best to take a look at the past. There's rumoured to have been a lot going on there too. The important thing is to laugh together. No matter what time. FLASHBACK! I know what you'll have done next summer... In german laguage

The Compagnia Artemis Danza, led by Monica Casadei, dedicates this artistic project to a contemporary exploration and interpretation of four fascinating heroines by Giacomo Puccini: Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Mimì, and Turandot. Understanding Puccini's music involves analyzing its profound connection with the feminine world. In the four acts that make up Puccini's Opera, we find Casadei's personal interpretation of the female theme, placed at the center of a choreographic, visual, and musical reinterpretation process. Tragic love, thwarted and opposed love, cruel love that annihilates, the craving for possession that leads to destruction – all these live in the faces, bodies, and gestures of the Company, and continue to make us reflect on the contemporary relevance of stories that have moved audiences worldwide. The creation is imbued with a poignant atmosphere, filled with tension and poetic suggestion. Puccini's orchestral score is juxtaposed with electronic tracks by composers Luca Vianini and Fabio Fiandrini, crafting an enveloping and at times apocalyptic soundscape. A choral dance, swelling with impulses and passions, instinctive and at times wild, making dizzying use of space and appearing, even symbolically, visually full: solos protected by frames of ensembles in a dynamic accelerated by propulsive forces, bringing to life in the body and gut the drama and passions of the protagonists. Choreography, Direction, Set Design, Lighting, and Costumes: Monica Casadei Music: Giacomo Puccini Musical Arrangement: Fabio Fiandrini Production: Compagnia Artemis Danza Co-production: Fondazione Teatro Comunale di Ferrara With the contribution of: MiC - Ministry of Culture, Emilia-Romagna Region - Department of Culture, Municipality of Parma

We are a community of desires, not of action. Ernaux, one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary culture, chose in 2012 to bring to light a space ignored by literature, yet a formidable mirror of social reality: the hypermarket. A diary was born in which he recorded visits to "his" Auchan for a year, noting the contradictions and rituals, but also the unexpected tenderness, of that temple of consumption. From this "free review of observations" conducted between one aisle and another - with the shopping list in hand - in contact with the glittering mountains of goods of large-scale distribution, a narrative reflection comes to life capable of showing us from an unusual angle one of the secret theaters of our collective life. Director, screenwriter and actress, Michela Cescon is a passionate reader of Ernaux's work. Together with Lorenzo Flabbi, Ernaux's historic translator for L'Orma Editore, he edited the first Italian dramaturgical adaptation of Guarda le luci, amore mio. The show is performed by Valeria Solarino and Silvia Gallerano, two charismatic personalities, two artists with very different backgrounds and careers, on stage together for the first time to give voice and body to this new journey into everyday life. Based on the book of the same name by Annie Ernaux, with Valeria Solarino, Silvia Gallerano Dramaturgical adaptation Lorenzo Flabbi, Michela Cescon Directed by Michela Cescon Sets, lights, costumes Dario Gessati Production by Teatro Stabile di Bolzano, Teatro Stabile di Torino – Teatro Nazionale In collaboration with Teatro di Dioniso, Riccione Teatro and L'Orma Editore

Years later, a man and a woman remember a time when they had a passionate relationship with each other: Every week, always in the same place, at the same hour, they met to live out their erotic fantasies. They didn't want to know each other's names or anything else in each other's lives, but they grew closer and became almost indispensable to each other. Until an event where suddenly everything was at stake. Now they are reviving this relationship in their memory. Each for themselves, but also united, they look back, with all the fuzziness and gaps in memory that time brings with it. This always makes for amusing moments, but also testifies to the tenderness and humor in their relationship that has lasted all these years. The author Philippe Blasband, who was born in Tehran in 1964 and lives in Brussels, was highly praised for his screenplay for the film "Une liaison pornographique" at the Venice Film Festival in 2000. With Katharina Stemberger and Andreas Patton, two actors also known from film and television now embody the protagonists of this unusual relationship on stage. Director: Hans-Peter Kellner Stage: Roland Ploner Costumes: Luisa Berghammer With: Katharina Stemberger Andreas Patton Supported by: Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Dept. of German Culture / South Tyrolean Savings Bank Foundation In cooperation with: South Tyrolean Cultural Institute Economy & Culture Merano Powered by: Nordwal

The Merano Ski Club and the Merano 2000 ski area have revived an old tradition and bid farewell to winter with music, fun and good spirits. It is run in teams of three in different categories. Three racers, connected by a rope, master a simple giant slalom route, to reach the finishing line together. Each participant may only ride once per category. The time limit is five minutes, exceeding this will disqualify the rope team. Outfit: It’s nostalgic, fancy and a bit quirky – just like your ski outfit if you so wish...

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. (Carl Sagan) Cosmos is a reflection on the beauty of the universe: planets, stars, galaxies, and the space that unites and separates them, are so mysterious that they nourish the most daring fantasies. eVolution dance theatre reinvents the famous black light theatre in which darkness and the skilful use of light and visual effects give life to enthralling and exciting performances. Cosmos, the latest work by Anthony Heinl and Nadessja Casavecchia, turns its gaze towards the universe, a place where fantastic, floating, poetic figures move within imaginative spaces. The performance is the result of a long and participatory process in which each performer contributes to the final result of the show, enriching it with her wealth of experience ranging from classical dance to urban dance, from contemporary dance to acrobatics. Like every eVolution dance theatre creation, Cosmos testifies how research in terms of technological innovation can amplify, without ever replacing, the emotional and artistic contribution of its performers. Music, a fundamental element in the construction of the narrative, accompanies and intensifies the suggestions of each individual painting. Cosmos takes the spectator on a journey through unknown places, where science and understanding give way to imagination. Thanks to the creative and at the same time “pop” approach that characterises the entire production of eVolution dance theatre, the show leaves the spectator with the feeling of having experienced an unforgettable journey, to a vast space beyond the boldest imagination. To welcome him, on his return, the fragile and beautiful Earth, a small world in the midst of the immensity of worlds.
