Theater Concert with Niederrheintheater: Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schubert & Chekhov - a Chamber Music Theater Experience

A theater concert - witty, classical, surprising.

Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schubert & Chekhov - a chamber music theater experience

Niederrheintheater presents an extraordinary event format: a chamber music concert interwoven with a humorous theatrical monologue.

The finest classical music by Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Elgar, Massenet and others frames Anton Chekhov's witty and absurd play "On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco".

A somewhat overwhelmed lecturer wants to discuss the risks of smoking - but soon finds himself caught in comic, surprisingly candid digressions about his life, his marriage, and the small frustrations of everyday existence.

The result is an entertaining evening full of lightness, musical brilliance, and quiet comedy - a delight for concert lovers who cherish language and theatrical performance, and for theater audiences who wish to experience Chekhov and classical music in a fresh way.
