My Fair Lady in Coburg: A musical classic celebrates a sparkling return
A stage event with heart, wit, and great orchestral color: Frederick Loewes' musical transports you to the vibrant theater atmosphere of London at GLOBE Coburg. Eliza Doolittle's journey from street vendor to society lady becomes a compelling study of language, power, and identity – supported by a production that combines the brilliance of musical theater with precise dramaturgy.
A story with history – freshly staged
Based on Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion' and the lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, an elegant, punchline-driven narrative unfolds. Directed by Sonja Trebes, who emphasizes Eliza's development as a self-assured heroine. The cast, featuring Emily Lorini as Eliza and Tobias Bode as Higgins, forms clear character arcs; fine linguistic accents meet physical playfulness. The Philharmonic Orchestra of the Coburg State Theater lets Loewes' melodies shine in rich sound.
Stage experience with style: Image, costume, sound
Dirk Becker's stage design creates transformable spaces between the slums and the diplomat ball. Melchior Silbersack's costumes precisely trace social codes – from the sooty floorboards to the radiant Ascot gray. The lighting mood shapes Eliza's emancipation: muted tones at the beginning, festive brightness during the peaks. Lorenzo Soragni's choreography gives the ensemble scenes kinetic energy that noticeably heats up the audience's reaction.
Dramaturgy with bite
Between linguistic wit and class critique, the production subtly shifts its focus: It is not the transformation into a 'Lady' that is celebrated but Eliza's claim to respect. Thus, hits like 'I could have danced all night' ring not just as earworms but as comments on role models. The result: a stage experience that connects entertainment with intellectual sharpness.
A crowd-puller with tradition
Since the Broadway premiere, the work has been regarded as the 'perfect musical' – a blend of captivating music, clear character guidance, and ironic social study. Current reviews emphasize the timeless elegance of the piece and its clever balance of romance and rebellion – qualities that the Coburg production highlights pointedly.
