Saturday, 07/18/2026 18:00 Internationales Maritimes Museum

Zum ersten Mal wird die Oper Cabildo der US-amerikanischen Komponistin Amy Beach in Deutschland inszeniert. Dabei verwandelt sich das Internationale Maritime Museum Hamburg zum Schauplatz des Geschehens! Die Protagonistin Mary wollte eigentlich nur einen Ausflug ins Museum unternehmen, als sie sich in einem Strudel ihrer eigenen Traumwelt verliert. Sie taucht ins New Orleans des 19. Jahrhunderts ein und stößt im Kerker des Cabildo auf den Piraten Pierre Lafitte. Dieser wartet eigentlich auf seine Hinrichtung, als seine Angebetete Lady Valerie erscheint und ihm einen Ausweg aus seiner misslichen Lage bereitet. Doch ist das alles nur ein wirrer Traum, oder eröffnen sich Parallelen in Marys reales Leben? Welche Rolle spielt Lady Valerie und lässt sich die Historie, in der die Rolle der Frau meist unbeachtet blieb, umdeuten und neuschreiben? Ein Musiktheaterprojekt, das maritime Geschichte aus einem neuen Blickwinkel betrachtet!
