Holle!

Mrs. Holle, the dear old woman with the fluffy beds from which it snows on the earth - that was yesterday. And no human child has found their way up here for a long time to help her make the weather. Instead, it's a hail of complaints: March is too dry for the farmers, summer is too wet for the holidaymakers. And Mrs. Holle? She's done with the weather. She doesn't want any more, because it's always her fault - the heat, the cold, the sun, the rain. She'd like to give it all up, emigrate and leave the weather to her assistants Gold-Andy and Pech-Andy. Why not? Weather is a very simple thing, isn't it?

Kai Weßler's opera, which premiered in Stuttgart in 2021, is by no means climate-neutral when it comes to the weather. It's a turbulent and entertaining musical about what happens when the weather goes crazy and how even children can save the world.
