Der nasse Fisch – A Musical Reading
In 2008, Volker Kutscher published the historical crime novel "Der nasse Fisch." This book marked the beginning of a successful new series and served as the basis for the first two seasons of the TV series "Babylon Berlin," in which Benno Fürmann shines in a leading role as Colonel Günter Wendt.
A musical lead role was played by the jazz band "Moka Efti Orchestra," specifically formed for the series. In this musical reading, texts from Kutscher’s novel are brought to new life—sometimes powerful, sometimes almost wordless, but always incredibly multifaceted thanks to Fürmann's intense acting, so that each Babylon character vividly emerges. The evening is complemented by graphics from Arne Jysch and his eponymous graphic novel. This creates a unique stage show and a gripping trio of music, reading, and visuals, vividly reviving Berlin of the 1920s and the Weimar Republic.
Program and cast
Prinzregententheater
The Prinzregententheater, or Prince Regent Theatre, is a theatre and opera house located at 12 Prinzregentenplatz in theBavarian city of Munich, Germany.
Initiated by Ernst von Possart, the theatre was built in the Prinzregentenstrasse as a festival hall for the operas of Richard Wagner near an area where a similar project of King Ludwig II had failed some decades before. Named after Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria the building was designed by Max Littmann and opened 21 August 1901 with a production of "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" by Richard Wagner. Like the Bayreuth theatre, the auditorium was designed to Wagner’s specifications, however an amphitheater has replaced the loges.
After the destruction of the Nationaltheater during World War II, the Prinzregententheater housed the Bavarian State Operafrom 1944 to 1963 even though it also suffered damage during the war which was not repaired until 1958. Since its renovation in 1988, the Prinzregententheater, with 1122 seats, has served also for the Bavarian Staatsschauspiel and now houses the Bavarian Theatre Academy founded by August Everding. Another theatre in the building, the Akademietheateror Academy Theatre, seats 300.
The Prince Regent theater is reached very well both by car and by public transportation MVV.
