Family opera in one act for young & all aged 8 and above
Libretto by Paula Fünfeck, based on the novel of the same name by Enne Koens
Premiere of a work commissioned by the MusikTheater an der Wien
Vincent is eleven and has a special hobby: He knows everything about the countryside and surviving in the wilderness. On the other hand, he finds “surviving” his everyday school life far from easy because his classmates tease him. The jokes and tips he gets from his four imaginary friends Squirrel, Beetle, Foal and Worm aren’t helping any more either. But there’s one bright spot: the new, cool classmate “Jacket”, whom Vincent gradually befriends. They might even start a band together, who knows? But unfortunately they now have to go on a week-long school trip during which things really get out of hand. Vincent must finally face up to his fears.
Librettist Paula Fünfeck and composer Gordon Kampe have written a new family opera for the MusikTheater an der Wien based on Enne Koens’ multi-award-winning novel Ich bin Vincent und ich habe keine Angst (I am Vincent and I am not Afraid), which approaches the subject of mobbing with great sensitivity and humour. Both have contributed greatly to opera for children and young people in recent years and are now working together for the first time. Director is Johannes Schmid, who most recently received acclaim for his film versions of Christine Nöstlinger’s Geschichten vom Franz and Neue Geschichten vom Franz...

Theater an der Wien
About the Theater an der Wien
The New Opera House is not just any theatre, but the one that Emanuel Schikaneder, the all-round genius, actor, impresario with a flair for organization but above all librettist of The Magic Flute, had built in 1801 in Vienna in keeping with the spirit of Mozart.
To coincide with the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth the Theater an der Wien presents itself as a new opera house from January 2006. As a “season” opera house with productions all the year round the Theater an der Wien carves a new and independent niche in the realm of high-quality culture in Vienna. For twelve months of the year, with one premiere every month, opera will be performed under the “stagione”, or season, system: that means the cast remains unchanged from the first performance to the last one, which guarantees that the very highest international standards are maintained.
The theatre’s modern, accessible approach to music theatre as demonstrated by the works performed, the overall artistic concept Bespielung and the artistes is further underlined by the building itself, its architecture and the vibrancy of its location. The surroundings and materials, the intimate atmosphere and perfect acoustics in the historical theatre prepare the senses to experience beauty. The Theater an der Wien deliberately enters into a symbiotic relationship with its lively surroundings on the Naschmarkt street market and the young cultural scene centred in the Schleifmühl quarter.
