3 CaBaRET John Kander / Fred Ebb CABARET Musical in two acts NEW Producer Roman Hovenbitzer (Germany) Musical Director and Conductor Tarmo Leinatamm Conductor Lauri Sirp Stage Designer Roy Spahn (Germany) Light Designer Palle Palmè (Rootsi) Choreographer Jean Renshaw (Great Britain) I find this city enchanting. Everything is so full of life and lavish here. People have been taken over by an obsessive thirst for having fun. If it were a film, I wonder what could happen here? A volcano could erupt, the city might be struck by a tempest and a flood (Cliff) CABARET lets the audience take a glimpse at a pleasure-seeking society. The life filled with frivolous and promiscuous entertainment reminds us of someone dancing on a precipice. The song Tomorrow Belongs To Me hints at the emerging national socialism that does not care about the wellbeing of the individual nor about the world of artists and outcasts. CABARET has been hugely successful all over the world thanks to its enthralling music and fantastic show combined with a serious theme. A theme that always touches, and moves us, the audience.

4 Jim Jacobs / Warren Casey GREASE Musical in two acts NEW Director Georg Malvius (Sweden) Musical Director and Conductor Tarmo Leinatamm Stage Designer Ellen Cairns (Scotland) Lighting Designer Palle Palmé (Sweden) Greasers was the name given to a working class youth subculture in the United States as the male members of the subgroup were in the habit of greasing their hair with pomade. The musical is set in Rydell High School in Having had a love affair in summer, Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski end up in the same school in autumn. However, at school Danny is the leader of the gang of greasers called the Burger Palace Boys, and being the leader it is not suitable for Danny to show his feelings. The overly demure and disappointed Sandy then joins the girls gang called the Pink Ladies. After several ordeals Danny finally realises that Sandy is his true love. Sandy, in turn, finds that in order to win Danny back, she needs to change her image... A musical of the same name was produced in 1978 in Hollywood, directed by Randal Kleiser, making John Travolta, who was only 23 at the time, and the Australian singer Olivia Newton-John, famous all over the world. In with and subtitles CASANOVA Ballet in two acts Choreographer-Director, Costume and Music Designer David Sonnenbluck (Belgium) Historical costumes Mare Tommingas Light Designers Imbi Mälk, Andres Sarv From time to time the fate of Casanova has excited the desire for beauty. That scandalous Venetian was not only an adventurer, fraud and a freethinker as he is usually portrayed, but also a poet, memoir writer, philosopher and musician. Emanating from that, David Sonnenbluck with its style as well as music has created a timeless ballet it is baroque as well as contemporary at the same time. The production makes use of the music by Mozart, Vivaldi, Typsi and traditional Arabic music.

6 Giacomo Puccini TOSCA Opera in two acts Musical Director and Conductor Paul Mägi Director Mikk Mikiver Production brought back to the stage by Ervin Õunapuu Stage Designer Ervin Õunapuu Costume Designer Mare Raidma The production which premiered in 1995 is directed in the honour of Mikk Mikiver s 70th birthday. The plot of the opera is set in Rome in The Republic of Rome has been overthrown and a brutal police dictatorship has been established in the town. The central character in the opera is the ruthless power-seeking Baron Scarpia. In parallel one sees the unwinding of the passionate and tragic love story of the artist Mario Cavaradossi and singer Floria Tosca. In with subtitles Jules Massenet WERTHER Opera in two acts Musical Director and Conductor Paul Mägi Conductor Lauri Sirp Director Albert-André Lheureux (Belgium) Designer Liina Keevallik Werther is hopelessly in love with the beautiful Charlotte, who returns his affection. However, because of a promise she made to her dying mother, the girl marries another man and Werther commits suicide. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe s novel The Sorrows of Young Werther published in The deeply romantic story of a young poet was a sensation and became one of the most read books of the time. The highly popular novel even influenced fashion young men throughout Europe tried to emulate Werther s style of clothing. Alas, this success had a less pleasant side to it, as many young men also committed suicide in the same way as Werther. In with subtitles

8 Pyotr Tchaikovsky SLEEPING BEAUTY (UINUV KAUNITAR) Ballet in two acts Choreographer-Director, Libretto Pär Isberg (Royal Swedish Ballet) Set Designer Bo Ruben Hedwall (Sweden) Costume Designer Emma Gauffin (Sweden) Conductor Lauri Sirp Specially for the Vanemuine troupe, a totally new libretto has been created to the Sleeping Beauty. The era as well as the area of activity has been readjusted. Instead of the fairytale castle we see a beach resort from the beginning of the 20th century Henry Purcell FAIRY QUEEN (HALDJAKUNINGANNA) Semi-opera in two acts The Annual Awards 2012 of the Estonian Theatre Union Jury s Special Award to the creative team Director, Choreographer, Visuals Sasha Pepelyaev (Russia) Music Director and Conductor Lauri Sirp Costume Designer Liisi Eelmaa Purcell s Fairy Queen seems to be a brilliant and enigmatic example of conceptual baroque performance. Originally performed as a part of colossal court show, it carries on its own beauty and secrets. Fantastic, naive and wise characters do not hurry to reveal their goals and means. Decorated by the Purcell s melodies jewellery, they observe Shakespeare s A Midsummer Night s Dream and make their own comments and conclusions. We can only guess what all those stories, words and sounds meant 400 years ago. But the desire to stage this opera now immediately demands a whole set of keys for the endless doors of its labyrinths. I went to the area of machinery and absurd mechanics to search for those keys. So here it is: a kinetic conceptual Fairy Queen driving through the forests and palaces of No fear Shakespeare. Alexander Pepelyaev January 16, 2011

14 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (KAUNITAR JA KOLETIS) Ballet NEW Music: Joaquin Turina, Malcolm Arnold Director-Choreographer Silas Stubbs The ideas behind the story are a lot to do with how people are judge or treated differently because of their appearance.

He has scars on his face so is seen as a monster by society. They both are dreamers so they feel trapped and constricted by the depressing world they live in. Although they are very different people they find that they share a similar mind and imagination. It is a love story also...they are attracted by each other inner beauty etc.
