So or so or so: A fabulous revue for the whole family

On December 23, 2026, a colorful stage world full of music, fantasy, and surprising transformations opens in the opera foyer of the Duisburg Theater. The Young Opera invites children aged four and older and their families to a 45-minute stage experience where every feeling, every mood, and every facet of the self finds its place.

A revue about diversity and self-discovery

Who are you today? A floating pink cloud, a wild monster with shaggy hair, or a being that simply wants to shine alone for once? The fabulous revue by composer Tom Smith and librettist and dramaturge Heili Schwarz-Schütte asks childlike questions with great poetic clarity. Its characters experience days when the whole world is open to them, and others when everything seems different.

Musical theater with fantasy and color

The staging by Jörg Behr transforms the opera foyer into an immediate playground for musical discoveries. Fireflies, soap bubbles, a unicorn, a monster, and a millipede with all left legs populate this dynamic stage world. The dramaturgy follows the changing feelings of the characters and makes it clear that identity does not remain rigid but can take many forms.

A sensory stage experience for young viewers

Tom Smith's music combines with a colorful visual language and vibrant acting. In the intimate setting of the opera foyer, a concentrated theater atmosphere is created, where children stay close to the action. Light, movement, costumes, and acoustics accompany the changing moods between lightness, self-doubt, wonder, and new courage.

Laugh, wonder, and recognize each other together

The production addresses a young audience directly, without forcing simple answers. It celebrates diversity and conveys the comforting realization: everything can be, and each day can look different. This is precisely the unique strength of this Young Opera – it connects musical pleasure with accessible, intelligent dramaturgy about self-perception and diversity.

Conclusion

So or so or so promises a warm-hearted, imaginative theater experience for children aged four and older and their families. Those who want to experience musical theater, colorful mythical creatures, and an encouraging story about being different live will find a special afternoon full of sound, color, and joy in the opera foyer of the Duisburg Theater.
