The Spirits I Summoned – An Evening of Ballads with Heiko Ruprecht

An evening full of suspense, drama, and powerful emotions awaits the audience at this special ballad program. Under the title “The Spirits I Summoned,” actor Heiko Ruprecht explores the most striking ballads of the German Classical period. With works such as “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” “Erlkönig,” “The Diver,” and “The Pledge” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller, a series of daring stories and powerful emotions unfolds. Ruprecht, known from theater and television (including ZDF’s “Der Bergdoktor”), breathes new life into the texts with his distinctive voice and compelling performance. The evening is accompanied musically by Veronika Ponzer on the harp. With her delicate timbres, she sets the mood for the ballads, creates transitions, and deepens the impact of the spoken word. An atmospheric evening that impressively brings the power of classical poetry to life.
