Das wohl berühmteste Ballett der Welt verzaubert in diesem Livekonzert mit dem WDR Sinfonieorchester kleine und große Musikfreunde gleichermaßen. Prinz Siegfried begegnet am See dem schönen Schwanenmädchen Odette. Im Mondenlicht gesteht sie ihm, dass sie vom bösen Zauberer Rotbart verflucht wurde und ihre menschliche Gestalt nur zurückgewinnen kann, wenn ihr jemand bedingungslose Liebe schwört.

Oberon, König der Feenwelt, hat sich mit seiner Frau Titania zerstritten, wegen ihrer "außerehelichen Eskapaden" und weil sie sich weigert, ihm einen ihrer Knaben als Pagen zu überlassen. Der gekränkte Oberon plant einen bitterbösen Streich: Der gewitzte Kobold Puck soll Titania während des Schlafs einen Zaubertrunk auf die Augen träufeln, der bewirkt, dass sich Titania in die erste Gestalt verliebt, die sie erblickt. Puck macht sich an die Arbeit und stößt im Wald auf eine Schar von Handwerkern, die ein Theaterstück für die Hochzeitsfeier des Athener Herrscherpaars Theseus und Hyppolyta proben: "Die höchst jammervolle Komödie und der höchst grausame Tod von Pyramus und Thisbe".

Heimlich heiratet der dunkelhäutige Feldherr Othello die Senatorentochter Desdemona. Jago, ein ihm unterstellter Offizier, fühlt sich von Othello zurückgesetzt und spinnt eine Intrige: Der für seine Eifersucht bekannte Othello soll an Desdemonas Treue zweifeln. Othello glaubt Jagos Einflüsterungen und sinnt auf Rache. Eines der berühmtesten Stücke der Weltliteratur von William Shakespeare in einer grandiosen Hörspieladaption.

Dieses Hörspiel beinhaltet die vollständige Dramen-Trilogie: "Wallensteins Lager", "Die Piccolomini" und "Wallensteins Tod". Es handelt vom Niedergang des berühmten Feldherrn Wallenstein: Fürst Wallenstein ist ein erfolgreicher Oberbefehlshaber der kaiserlichen Armee, den die Soldaten auch in Zeiten des Friedens verehren.

2000 Jahre ist es alt, das "Buch der Verwandlungen", genannt "Metamorphosen", geschrieben von dem römischen Dichter Ovid. Und obwohl das alte Rom schon längst zu Staub zerfallen ist, sind diese Geschichten noch immer spannend wie am ersten Tag! In der lebendigen Hörspielfassung von Karlheinz Koinegg erhält der dumme König Midas die Gabe, alles in Gold zu verwandeln, was er berührt. Außerdem lernt Theseus die Geheimnisse eines Labyrinths kennen, Dädalus und Ikarus beweisen ihre erfinderische Genialität, Perseus begegnet am Rande der Welt der gefährlichen Medusa und der Dichter Orpheus wagt sich in die Unterwelt, um seine Frau zu retten.

"Wilhelm Tell" von Friedrich Schiller - Drama eines Schweizer Nationalhelden: "Wilhelm Tell" ist das letzte Drama, das Friedrich Schiller vor seinem Tod fertigstellte. 1804 uraufgeführt, ist das Stück über den Schweizer Freiheitskämpfer und Nationalhelden inzwischen ein unverzichtbarer und faszinierender Teil der Weltliteratur. Bei DAV ist "Wilhelm Tell" als grandioses Hörspiel aus dem DRA mit hochkarätigen Sprechern wie Maximilian Larsen erschienen.

"Poems of William Blake" includes: "Songs of Innocence", "Songs of Experience" and "The Book of Thel". All three are volumes of poetry by the English poet and painter, William Blake. "The Book of Thel" is a poem by William Blake, dated 1789 and probably worked on in the period 1788 to 1790. It was illustrated by his own plates, and is relatively short and easy to understand, compared to his later prophetic works. The metre is a fourteen syllable line.

The Iliad. Join Achilles at the Gates of Troy as he slays Hector to Avenge the death of Patroclus. Here is a story of love and war, hope and despair, and honor and glory. The recent major motion picture Helen of Troy starring Brad Pitt proves that this epic is as relevant today as it was twenty five hundred years ago when it was first written. So journey back to the Trojan War with Homer and relive the grandest adventure of all times. The Odyssey.

Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's best dramatist. His plays have been translated into every major language, and are the most performed ever. His work contains stunningly modern insight, witty jokes and soaring passion; it is an endless source of amazement and inspiration.

Have you ever been to a King Lear performance with the impression of not having understood everything? It's normal. Shakespeare's plays are the most beautiful of the theatrical repertoire, but you cannot go to a Shakespeare play if you do not have a minimum prepared this show: understand the issues, characters, context, cultural or historical references is indispensable. The same is true if you intend to read a play by William Shakespeare: our summaries will help you better understand what you have read.

Odysseus has been away from Ithaca, the Greek city-state under his rule, for ten years while fighting in the Trojan War. After the fall of Troy, Odysseus begins the long journey home to his wife and son; however, his journey is plagued by misfortune as the gods feud over his fate, leaving the Ithacans to believe that he has died. In the myths and legends that are retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery.

"The Tragedy of Hamlet", Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet, is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1602. Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother. Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play and is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others".

Sex, science and spirituality! These were the triad of influences on the poetry of the seventeenth century. Following the golden age of Elizabeth I this century was to be one of great tensions; between Parliament and the Monarchy, Canterbury and Rome, science and religion; a civil war, the beheading of a King, The Republic, The Restoration, and finally, the Glorious Revolution which deposed a King and firmly reasserted the Protestant ascendancy.

"Milton" is an epic poem by William Blake, written and illustrated between 1804 and 1810. Its hero is John Milton, who returns from Heaven and unites with Blake to explore the relationship between living writers and their predecessors, and to undergo a mystical journey to correct his own spiritual errors.

"The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in 8 Fits" is usually thought of as a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) in 1874, when he was 42 years old. It describes with infinite humour the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature. The poem borrows occasionally from Carroll's short poem "Jabberwocky" in "Through the Looking Glass" (especially the poem's creatures and portmanteau words), but it is a stand-alone work, first published in 1876 by Macmillan.

Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608-1674). The first version, published in 1667, consists of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout. It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.

"Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers. Romeo and Juliet had a profound influence on subsequent literature. Before then, romance had not even been viewed as a worthy topic for tragedy.

In "Rendang", Will Harris complicates and experiments with the lyric in a way that urges it forward. With an unflinching yet generous eye, "Rendang" is a collection that engages equally with the pain and promise of self-perception. Drawing on his Anglo-Indonesian heritage, Harris shows us new ways to think about the contradictions of identity and cultural memory. He creates companions that speak to us in multiple languages; they sit next to us on the bus, walk with us through the crowd and talk to us while we're chopping shallots.

"Macbeth" is a play written by William Shakespeare. Set mainly in Scotland, the play illustrates the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake. It was most likely written during the reign of James I, who had been James VI of Scotland before he succeeded to the English throne in 1603. James was a patron of Shakespeare's acting company, and of all the plays Shakespeare wrote during James's reign, "Macbeth" most clearly reflects the playwright's relationship with the sovereign.

"William Wordsworth - Selected Poems" is a selection of popular poems by William Wordsworth, which all describe an experience (what Wordsworth termed "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings") which is recollected in tranquillity. That recollection stimulates the power of the human mind, the 'inward eye' or the imagination. Selected and narrated by Steve Patriarca, these readings are made in the hope that the audience will not only enjoy the poems but also find in them new power and meaning.

Leonard Cohen, hier muss man eigentlich nicht viel Erklären. Songs wie "Hallelujah", "Suzanne", "So Long Marianne", "Bird on a wire" sind alles absolute Meisterwerke. Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass der junge Cohen erst zur Gitarre griff um seine Tätigkeit aus Autor und Dichter zu finanzieren, der Rest ist Geschichte...
