The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
Whether they appear at the Queen’s private birthday party in Windsor Castle, at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, in Carnegie Hall or at the Sydney Opera House – it is the declared mission of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain to fight the serious side of life with all their might. They pull it off with charm, British wit, surprising arrangements and pure delight in playing and entertaining people. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, founded in 1985, celebrates its 40th anniversary with a fast-paced sprint through all musical genres: from ABBA to ZZ Top, from Tchaikovsky to Nirvana, from bluegrass to Lady Gaga. A witty, quirky, great, rousing obituary for rock’n’roll and melodic entertainment, all played on the »bonsai guitar«.

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 20:00
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (Ensemble)
Über vier Jahrzehnte tourt das Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain nun schon mit erstaunlichem Erfolg in der ganzen Welt: China, USA, Japan, Australien, Neuseeland, und natürlich in ganz Europa. Ob bei der privaten Geburtstagsparty der Queen auf Windsor Castle, bei den BBC Proms in der Royal Albert Hall, in der Carnegie Hall oder dem Sydney Opera House.Seit 1985 ist es die erklärte Mission der Ukes, dem Ernst des Lebens mit Charme, britischem Witz, überraschenden Arrangements, einer gehörigen Portion Selbstironie und einfach schierer Freude am Spielen und Unterhalten zu begegnen: The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain hat sich damit zu einer international renommierten Institution entwickelt, die sich dennoch nicht scheut, sich selbst immer wieder neu zu erfinden. Feiern Sie mit uns das 40-jährige Jubiläum, mit einem rasanten Sprint durch alle musikalischen Genres: Von ABBA bis ZZ Top, von Tschaikowsky bis Nirvana, von Bluegrass bis Lady Gaga und vielleicht sogar noch einem Spaghetti-Western dazu. Ein geistreicher, skurriler, respektloser, großartiger, mitreißender Nachruf auf Rock'n'Roll und melodische Unterhaltung, alles gespielt auf der »Bonsai-Gitarre«.

IN FARAWAY PLACES - REDISCOVERING MOZART'S MUSIC Culture is meaningful. Culture not only keeps us busy - and thus structures our everyday lives - it seems to give us existential stability above all. Making music, together or alone, is one of the oldest and most deeply rooted rituals in our collective identity. Music still serves as a human compass today. Nevertheless, it does no harm to put ritualized processes to the test: In the music theater project The Great Silence, the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart becomes existentially relevant for a group of people living in the future and far away from the earth. For them, unknown works by one of the most famous composers become both a daily reminder and a warning of what it means to be and remain human. Director Christopher Rüping, who is highly regarded and celebrated at home and abroad for his acting work and has been awarded the most important theater prizes, and his team make their long-awaited debut on the main stage of the Hamburg State Opera. They explore the question of what role and function such a timeless cultural asset as Mozart's music has for us and, in this music theater project, create the scenario of a remote world whose setting has little to do with our present-day reality. But man is the constant that has hardly changed fundamentally. What does Mozart's music trigger in us? How do people react to unexpected threats, how do they react to a real opportunity? And what happens when things go quiet after all? Musical direction: Omer Meir Wellber, Tohar Gil (26.3., 2.4.) Production: Christopher Rüping Stage: Jonathan Mertz Costumes: Lene Schwind Sound design: Jonas Holle Lighting: Benedikt Zehm Choir: Alice Meregaglia Dramaturgy: Malte Ubenauf, Christopher Warmuth Music theater project by Christopher Rüping, Omer Meir Wellber and Malte Ubenauf with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (2026)
