Was Ihr Wollt – Oper Wuppertal, Wuppertal

About this event

Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night appears at Schauspiel Wuppertal as a new production in the 2026/2027 season. Directed by Jenke Nordalm, the staging uses the notable German translation by Jürgen Gosch and Angela Schanelec. The visual concept is unified by Vesna Hiltmann, who designs both set and costumes, while Ulf Steinhauer provides the music. The premiere is scheduled for 14 November 2026 at the Opernhaus Wuppertal, followed by performances across the season. The production is listed among the season premieres and signals a fresh interpretation rather than a revival. A guest performance is planned at the Schau-Spiel-Studio Oberberg in Wiehl on 5 June 2027. The season communication teases a thought‑provoking approach that invites audiences to reconsider identity, love, and disguise at the heart of Twelfth Night.
