A poetic morning filled with sound magic in Duisburg
On Monday, November 16, 2026, the Duisburg Theater transforms into a stage for fine colors, fairy-tale images, and musical fantasy: In “Masterpieces” Maurice Ravel's “Ma mère l’oye” will be performed by the Duisburg Philharmonic, Kai Bettermann, and a concept by Anja Renczikowski. This format is part of the klasse.klassik junior series and is aimed at a young audience starting from 8 years; the event starts at 10:00 AM and lasts about 60 minutes.

Fairy-tale sounds with orchestral finesse
Ravel's sound language is perfectly suited for the large house: transparent, shimmering, and full of details. In Ma mère l’oye, the French master transforms well-known fairy tale themes into floating orchestral colors. The Duisburg Philharmonic brings exactly the mix of precision, warmth, and brilliance that this work needs to be experienced. The ensemble is deeply rooted in the city's opera and concert tradition and has long considered the Duisburg Theater one of its musical home stages.

A concert for curiosity, imagination, and young ears
Anja Renczikowski's concept turns the classic into an accessible live experience with narrative tension. Kai Bettermann once again takes on a narrative role and vividly portrays the special world of Ravel's music. This creates a concert experience that not only imparts knowledge but also directly pulls the audience's mood into the fairy-tale orchestration. For families, school classes, and classical music beginners, this is an ideal access point to one of the most popular works of impressionistic orchestral literature.

The Duisburg Theater as a harmonious sound space
The Great House at the Opernplatz provides the right setting for this school concert: centrally located, historically rich, and known as a prominent cultural venue in the city. According to the house's information, parking at the Opernplatz is not permitted; at the same time, there are indications of limited accessibility, disabled parking in Moselstraße, and advice for arriving via the city center. This makes the Duisburg Theater well-prepared for visitors both musically and organizationally. ([theater-duisburg.de](https://www.theater-duisburg.de/ihr-besuch/theater-duisburg/?utm_source=openai))
