WHAT PATRONATSVEREIN IS ABOUT

We support productions whose artistic realization cannot be financed through the regular budget, support young artists in their training and promote special events and introductions to productions. We aim to arouse interest in the art of opera, theatre and dance across all age groups.

With your membership fee, your donation and your dedication to the arts, you support special, outstanding productions or parts of productions. Another important task of Patronatsverein is to inspire people for the performing arts, who do not yet have a connection to opera, theatre and dance.

OPERA | THEATRE | DANCE

It is often the special, outstanding and extraordinary in a production that is made possible with the support of Patronatsverein.

This can be special costumes, lighting, original instruments, commissions, filming or many other things. Here is a small selection of the work that has been supported by Patronatsverein:

JACQUES OFFENBACH
For the Frankfurt premiere of this fast-paced operetta, which was composed in French, a new version of the text was specially produced in German. Situational comedy and wordplay are further enhanced by the dance choreography and the numerous costumes, which have to allow for quick changes. These special elements have been sponsored by Patronatsverein.
10-Odd-Emotions
ANJA HILLING

Actors and dancers perform together within this production. Violence of antisemitism, racism and colonialism are brought to life in their touching performance. This cooperative production has been supported by Patronatsverein.

Liedschatten en
ENSEMBLE SCHAUSPIEL FRANKFURT

It had been a heartfelt wish by the actors of Schauspiel Frankfurt to come up with an evening of songs, changing the choice of songs regularly. The budget for costumes, props and the piano tuner has been sponsored by Patronatsverein.
