Kristina in Koblenz: A Swedish Musical Epic on the Big Stage
On January 3, 2027, the Theater Koblenz invites you to Kristina – an impressive musical about departure, faith, family, and the search for a new home. The German-language premiere combines great music theater moments with a dramatic emigration story from 19th-century Sweden.
A Journey between Hunger, Hope, and New Beginnings
At the center are Kristina and Karl Oskar, who leave southern Sweden's Småland with their children and other emigrants. Poor harvests, natural disasters, religious persecution, and a lack of future prospects drive people on a dangerous journey across the Atlantic. In America, a new life begins for the family, shaped by uncertainty and hope.
Musical by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus
Kristina från Duvemåla comes from the pen of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, who gained international fame as members of ABBA and also shaped musical history with Chess and Mamma Mia!. The work premiered in 1995 in Malmö and is considered one of the significant musicals in the Nordic music theater scene.
Large Music Theater in the Theater Tent
Together with the ensemble of Theater Koblenz, choir, orchestra, and elaborate staging, a far-reaching event experience is created. The production combines dramatic scenes, powerful choral moments, and an atmospheric stage world into an evening for musical fans, opera audiences, and all those who want to experience historical material with emotional music.
Special Venue on the Fortress Plateau
The theater tent on the plateau of the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress gives the performance an extraordinary ambiance. Depending on the date, the cable car or a specially arranged shuttle bus will transport you to the performance. The use is included in the price of the theater ticket; public transport in the Rhineland-Mosel transport association is also included.
Conclusion: A Musical Evening Full of Wanderlust and Emotion
Kristina tells of people who leave everything familiar behind and, despite privations, believe in a better future. The audience can expect an emotional music theater experience with a large cast, historical material, and an intense audience atmosphere. Those who want to experience the German-language premiere and the special atmosphere of the theater tent live should secure their tickets in good time.
