To honour the composer, singer and actor Albert Lortzing on the 225th anniversary of his birth and the 175th anniversary of his death, Oper Leipzig is holding a dedicated festival. »Lortzing 26« will take place from 24 April to 3 May 2026 as part of the City of Leipzig’s annual festival celebrations. Not only did several of his “Spieloperas” premiere in Leipzig, but the creator of »Zar und Zimmermann« also took to the stage himself, playing a combative and down-to-earth role in shaping the musical and political events of his time.
