by Konstantin Georgiou - Nov 18, 2024


Am 17.11.2024 hatte ich das Vergnügen, „& Julia“ im Stage Operettenhaus in Hamburg zu erleben – und was für ein Erlebnis das war!

Das Musical ist eine freche, moderne Neuinterpretation von Shakespeares Klassiker, die nicht nur Julias Geschichte in den Mittelpunkt rückt, sondern auch den Mut feiert, das eigene Leben selbstbestimmt zu gestalten.
