For the first time after the devastating water damage, the Gerhart Hauptmann Theater in Görlitz is once again staging a production on the big stage. This Saturday, the baroque opera "Saul" by George Frideric Handel will have its premiere there. Almost to the day exactly one year ago a fire alarm had released for unexplained cause the spray flood system, so that thousands of liters of water flooded the venue within a few minutes.
According to theater information, a play operation with restrictions is possible again on the meanwhile provisionally strengthened stage. A change of different Repertoirestücken is excluded until further notice, because for safety reasons no scenery and props on the stage may be stored. So there will be a block of several performances of "Saul" this month before the Nov. 30 premiere of the Christmas concert, which is very popular with audiences.
