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:
GEORG FRIEDRICH HÄNDEL
FRANZ UND PAUL VON SCHÖNTHAN
Once again, the actor Wolfram Koch, also known as the detective from Frankfurt in the famous German TV series Tatort, joins the ensemble of the theater. He was nominated for the Faust Prize in 2018 for his role as King Richard III at Schauspiel Frankfurt. Here he can be seen in a farce. His engagement was supported by the Patronatsverein.
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.
GIUSEPPE VERDI
Verdi’s masterpiece AIDA in a new production at the Frankfurt Opera after more than 40 years. Outstanding guest singers, six fanfare trumpets, elaborate costumes – sponsored by Patronatsverein.
Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company
The film, which shows the special character of the Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company, whose dancers were all trained in classical ballet, was produced with funding from Patronatsverein.
