A musical classic between tradition, upheaval, and great theatrical joy

With Anatevka, the Theater Duisburg is bringing one of the great musical classics to the stage of the Große Haus on June 16, 2026. The work by Jerry Bock, Joseph Stein, and Sheldon Harnick tells the story of Tevje, his family, and a world that shakes under the pressure of tradition, love, and displacement. The theater announces a runtime of approximately 3 1/4 hours including a break; the performance will be in German with surtitles and is recommended for audiences aged 12 and up.

A stage space full of tension and warmth

Directed by Felix Seiler, the set design is by Nikolaus Webern, and the costumes are by Sarah Rolke. In addition, there is the musical direction by Harry Ogg, choreography by Danny Costello, and dramaturgy by Juliane Schunke. This artistic constellation promises a stage experience that connects the sonority of the Große Haus with the emotionality of the material.

A material that still resonates today

The official theater description portrays Anatevka as a Jewish family story with Broadway charm: Tevje's daughters question the order of the community while the threat to the shtetl becomes increasingly pressing. Exactly therein lies the timeless power of this musical: It tells of identity, farewell, and the longing for self-determination, without losing the warm humor and the life-affirming momentum.

Musical grandeur with fine melancholy

Jerry Bock's music contrasts the characters' lostness with rhythmic lightness and catchy melodies. The original stage production was directed and choreographed in New York by Jerome Robbins; Theater Duisburg continues this tradition with a cast featuring Andreas Bittl as Tevje and Rita Kapfhammer as Golde. The result promises a grand opera and musical atmosphere, supported by the choir of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein and the Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra.
