Opera classics with Bavarian flair at Audimax Regensburg

On Friday, September 25, 2026, the Audimax at the University of Regensburg will transform into a stage for great opera, sharp dialect, and typical Bavarian humor. Operas in Bavarian combines world-renowned stories with original verses, prominent acting, and musical precision.

When great opera meets Bavarian lifestyle

Paul Schallweg has adapted the contents of famous operas into original Bavarian dialect verses, often relocating the plot to the Bavarian countryside. From dramatic conflicts, strong emotions, and tragic entanglements, a delightful opera evening emerges, blending classical music history with folk theater, cabaret, and regional wit.

Salome, Lohengrin, and the Barber of Ruahpolding

In Regensburg, three particularly distinctive adaptations are featured: Salome – or: How the Prophet Jochanaan was betrayed, attempted and beheaded, The Lohengrin from Wolfratshausen – or: Because women always have to know everything and The Barber of Seville – or: The Barber from Ruahpolding. The well-known opera plots receive a new sound: cheeky, charming, pointed, and unmistakably Bavarian.

Strong voices and musical direction

The stage performance thrives on Gerd Anthoff, Monika Gruber, and Michael Lerchenberg. Together with percussionist Philipp Jungk, the music ensemble Operas in Bavarian and musical director Andreas Kowalewitz, a concert experience arises that merges acting, orchestration, and rhythmic stage humor. The music retains the character of the great originals while simultaneously opening up space for alpine and Bavarian tonal colors.

Cult status for more than 35 years

The ensemble was originally assembled for a carnival performance at the Munich Volkstheater. Following a radio broadcast by Bayerischer Rundfunk, the production developed into a hit with the audience. Since then, there have been hundreds of performances on stages in Bavaria and beyond. The combination of opera classics, Bavarian language, and well-known folk actors regularly ensures sold-out performances and enthusiastic audience atmosphere.
