The young businessman Hoffmann has married into an engineering company and has assured his own status and prosperity, which he defends with right-wing populist statements. His pregnant wife Martha oscillates between depression and the bliss of motherhood. When journalist Alfred Loth, who writes for a left-wing weekly newspaper, descends on his former college friend Hoffmann, the cracks in the foundations of this successful society become evident ... As one of the most frequently performed contemporary dramatists, Ewald Palmetshofer has brought Gerhart Hauptmann’s classic social criticism surprisingly close to our present times. 

Chicago, created by the acclaimed duo John Kander and Fred Ebb who also wrote the hit musical Cabaret, is one of the most successful Broadway productions of all times. This musical about two women who will literally step over dead bodies to get what they want has captivated more than 31 million spectators world-wide to date. This new production of Chicago will have everything you can expect from a major American musical: a spectacular stage show, captivating dance numbers, strong characters and a thrilling story that takes a critical look at society at the same time. Passion, sex, intrigue, murder and “all that jazz”! 

 Peer Gynt is a young man who likes to escape into his fantasy world to elude reality. He dreams of a better world, of a fairy-tale reality. His journey takes him through imaginative landscapes – from Norway’s mountains through the kingdom of the trolls to the deserts of Arabia. The renowned choreographer Edward Clug, appearing for the first time at the State Ballet of Hanover, interweaves music, narration and dance into a captivating artistic synthesis in this full-length story-driven ballet.
