CURTAIN UP! - a dazzling evening of opera and operetta in Heilbronn

On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the curtain will rise in the Harmonie Heilbronn for an evening that condenses the passion of opera and the charm of operetta into sparkling density. The Heilbronn Symphony Orchestra opens the new season with a musical best-of from Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, Bizet, Künneke, Lehár, and Flotow - a stage experience full of emotion, drama, and elegance.

Grand opera in concentrated form

The first half of the concert takes you right into the world of opera, where arias and duets from Carmen, The Elixir of Love, or The Barber of Seville transform the stage of the Theodor-Heuss-Saal into a colorful music theater. The evening relies on great contrasts: passion, virtuosity, vocal brilliance, and that sensual tension that only a live opera performance unfolds.

Operetta with spirit, wit, and warm melancholy

In the second half of the concert, the sound space of operetta opens up. Numbers from The Beggar Student and The Cousin from Dingsda promise lightness, charm, and sentimental fervor - exactly the blend that makes operetta an irresistible art form. When the famous duet Lips Are Sealed sounds, the theater atmosphere emerges in which audience reactions and musical magic interlock immediately.

A traditional evening with a clear profile

The Heilbronn Symphony Orchestra cultivates a long-standing tradition of seasonal openings with this concert and consciously places it in 2026 within the rich symbolism of Italian-French and German music theater. Under the direction of Alois Seidlmeier and featuring soloists Aleksandra Domashchuk, Daniel Behle, and Ljubomir Milanovic, a classical concert format emerges that appeals to both connoisseurs and curious newcomers alike.
