 [ Event information ](#ttgCollapseBeschreibung)
-------------------------------------------------

Fairytale opera in three acts.

After Engelbert Humperdinck's sensational success with *Hansel and Gretel*, he was not content to rest on his laurels. With his next major stage work, *Königskinder*, he took the genre of the fairy-tale opera to new dimensions with his original artistic creativity.

Based on a fairy tale by Elsa Bernstein, this touchingly sad love story of a goose-maid and a young king's son opened up the genre to the symbolist poetry of Art Nouveau as well as to the developments of young psychoanalysis. Humperdinck struck such a chord with his time that the premiere of *Königskinder* at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1910 marked the start of a worldwide series of performances of this work. At some point, however, the opera fell silent. So it's time to bring the *Königskinder* back to Linz as a lasting memory when Markus Poschner bids farewell to his music theater audience as chief conductor with this work.

In German with surtitles.
