Christmas Eve

Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov’s magical opera "Christmas Eve" is based on a short story by Nikolay Gogol in which Vakula the handsome blacksmith wants to marry the rich farmer’s daughter Oksana, who in turn demands he must bring her the Empress’s shoes. Meanwhile a witch on her broomstick gathers the stars and the devil steals the moon – demonic forces trying to hinder this romantic union. There is little repertoire in musical theatre in which enchantment and enlightenment come together so happily as in Rimsky-Korsakov’s fairy-tale operas. This Oper Frankfurt production was awarded "Performance of the Year" by renowned 'Opernwelt' magazine.
