A world full of romance and sin
Paris 1899: In the legendary Moulin Rouge nightclub, bohemians and royals celebrate extravagant parties together. Here, boundaries blur and champagne corks pop.
Moulin Rouge! The musical brings this world of romance and sin to life. A spectacular set is created at the Theater am Großmarkt , transforming it into a nightclub, theater, and dance hall all in one. The perfect backdrop for the love story of Christian and Satine, made famous by Baz Luhrmann's Oscar-winning film from 2001.
Can the Moulin Rouge be saved?
A young writer falls in love with the star of the legendary Moulin Rouge nightclub. But Christian and Satine's love is tragically tested when the influential Duke of Monroth wants to take over the financially struggling Moulin Rouge. He wants not only the club for himself, but also its "Sparkling Diamond": Satine.
