Kristina in Koblenz: A moving journey between home and hope
On January 4, 2027, the audience at the Theater tent Koblenz will experience the Swedish musical Kristina. The German-language premiere combines great musical theatre moments with a dramatic story about departure, family, faith, and the search for a new home.
A story full of longing and courage
At the center is Kristina, a young woman from the Swedish village of Duvemåla. Together with her husband Karl Oskar, her children, and other emigrants, she undertakes the dangerous journey to America in the mid-19th century. Famine, religious restrictions, and lack of future prospects drive people from their homeland.
The musical is based on the four-volume emigration epic by the Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg. The plot combines historical experiences with personal conflicts and raises questions about belonging, responsibility, and the cost of a new beginning.
Music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus
The musical arrangement is the work of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. The script was written by Lars Rudolfsson and Jan Mark, with orchestration by Anders Eljas. Following the success of Chess, Kristina från Duvemåla is among the significant musical works of the Swedish composer team.
In Koblenz, a large-scale musical theater experience is being created with ensemble, choir, and orchestra. The audience's mood ranges from quiet, intimate moments to powerful musical highlights. The theater tent creates a special event atmosphere on the plateau of Ehrenbreitstein Fortress.
German-language premiere at the theater tent
The Theater Koblenz has acquired the exclusive rights for the German-language premiere. The production thus emphasizes a special point in the event planning of the season and targets musical fans, friends of great narrative works, and culturally interested visitors from Koblenz and the region.
The performance begins on Monday, January 4, 2027, at 18:00. Depending on the performance, a cable car or shuttle bus is available for transportation to the theater tent. The use of the designated mode of transport as well as travel to and from the traffic association Rhein-Mosel is included in the ticket price.
An event experience with historical depth
Kristina combines historical musical theatre, emotional character portrayal, and an elaborate stage production. The story of the Swedish emigrants receives immediate closeness through the German language, making the hopes, fears, and losses of the characters particularly resonant.
Visitors can expect a concentrated musical experience with a dramatic plot, Scandinavian sound language, and great musical power. The age recommendation is 12 years.
Conclusion: A musical evening with great emotional impact
Kristina promises an impressive evening at the theater tent Koblenz: a historical emigration story, carried by strong characters, moving music, and a special atmosphere on the fortress plateau. Those who want to experience great musical narratives and intense musical theatre moments live will find an extraordinary date to kick off the year.
