Turbulent fairy tale with many celebrities

A splendid start to the summer theater season in Meggenhofen: Martin Leutgeb puts an affectionate "Alpine King" on stage in the romantic Stadl. The Raimund play full of witty language and great emotions tastes like a spicy cocktail! The leading roles are played by great actors such as Fritz Egger, Brigitte Karner, Nina Hartmann and Peter Scholz.

It is allowed to remain a fairy tale, and that is wonderful! The fairytale forest begins with chirping and roaring, where the Alpine King makes his first appearance, surrounded by flower children and a crowd of musical ghosts.

But soon there is a rumble and the Rappelkopf, as a misanthrope, shoots bitterly against the servants - and above all against his wife. It is only natural that the daughter is not allowed to marry her beloved. But the King of the Alps subjects Bosnigl to doppelganger therapy and he is of course proved wrong.

Production with a prominent ensemble
The classic "The Alpine King and the Misanthrope" by Ferdinand Raimund is always topical and also enchants with romantic comedy in this well-behaved production by Martin Leutgeb.

Heartache and malice par excellence
The ensemble is brilliant, above all Fritz Egger, who throws his quick-witted malice around so believably that you hang on his every word. Brigitte Karner as the loving wife is always the calming influence, albeit occasionally interrupted by small acts of despair. With incredible charm and humor, Nina Hartmann gives a maid strong contours, Valentina Waldner as the daughter and August Dorn as the painter are a couple with heartache.

Peter Scholz is a rather stoic Alpine king, but he stands up to Rappelkopf in a duel and ultimately becomes his congenial doppelganger. An entertaining, atmospheric evening at Theater Meggenhofen!
