Heart in Hand: Songs full of love in the opera foyer
At the Duisburg Theater, it becomes personal, musical, and immediate: Heart in Hand is dedicated to the songs of Christiane Weber and Timm Beckmann. The premiere on January 22, 2027, combines self-written texts, a wide musical range, and fine observations about falling in love, being left, and the longing for happiness.
Between longing, everyday life, and strong emotions
The songs by Weber-Beckmann tell stories of fairy tales and everyday life, small hopes, and the great detours of the heart. Their songs meet where musical precision and personal stories intertwine: sometimes tender and reflective, sometimes pointed, sometimes with that bittersweet warmth that good lyrics keep in memory long after the last note.
An evening of musical depth
From 1997 to 2009, Christiane Weber and Timm Beckmann toured nationwide with their chanson and song evenings. Their pieces combine expressive stage performance with emotional texts and a varied orchestration. In the opera foyer, this creates a concentrated concert experience, where voice, instruments, and scenic presence play closely together.
Memories come alive
Christiane Weber passed away in 2012 at the age of 36 from cancer. Heart in Hand gives her songs a stage again, thereby preserving a special artistic handwriting from fading away. The production, directed by Michael Steindl and musically led by Wolfgang Völkl, places these songs at the center. Tatjana Poloczek and Wolfgang Völkl will perform.
Award-winning chanson art
The work of Weber-Beckmann was awarded the German Small Arts Prize in the category Chanson/Music/Song in 2007. This award highlights the independent connection of song art, linguistic accuracy, and intense audience engagement. In the stylish opera foyer of the Duisburg Theater, the songs unfold their immediate live atmosphere particularly impressively.
An intimate evening in the opera foyer
The performance lasts about 1 hour and 10 minutes and takes place without an intermission. The opera foyer offers a venue for up to 200 spectators; generally, there is free seating at events there. This brings the audience close to the stage performance and allows them to experience the dynamics of the songs almost without distance.
Conclusion: Heart in Hand promises a touching chanson evening between musical memories, fine humor, and great longing. Those who want to experience song theater with character, strong texts, and immediate audience mood should discover this premiere live at the Duisburg Theater.
