Overview

The legendary rhythm extravaganza is back on tour!

It's the most furious, original and funniest rhythm spectacle on earth: STOMP is a phenomenon! Back on tour, it is guaranteed to make your eyes astonished, your ears ring and your laughing muscles exhausted. Armed with nothing but junk and an unerring sense of rhythm, the wonderfully idiosyncratic STOMP characters explore previously unknown depths of sound while still being as fresh, curious and playful as they were on day one. Let yourself be inspired by the high art of snapping fingers, swinging brooms and rattling garbage cans!

Whether matchboxes, brooms or sinks - the STOMP cosmos is as diverse as it is inexhaustible. In it, everyday things are transformed into singing rubbish and symphonic scrap. What began more than 25 years ago on the streets of Great Britain with hands, feet and a few brooms has long since become a worldwide sound phenomenon: Manhattan renamed 8th Street "Stomp Avenue" and London presented the show with the Olivier Award, the most important British award theater prize.

Venue Info

Alte Oper Frankfurt - Frankfurt am Main
Location   Opernplatz 1

The original opera house in Frankfurt is now the Alte Oper (Old Opera), a concert hall and former opera house in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It was inaugurated in 1880 but destroyed by bombs in 1944. It was rebuilt, slowly, in the 1970s, opening again in 1981. Many important operas were performed for the first time in Frankfurt, including Carl Orff's Carmina Burana in 1937.

The square in front of the building is known as Opernplatz (Opera Square). The Alte Oper is located in the inner city district, Innenstadt, within the banking district Bankenviertel.

The Oper Frankfurt now plays in the Opern- und Schauspielhaus Frankfurt, completed in 1951, which it shares with the Schauspiel Frankfurt theatre company.

The building was designed by the Berlin architect Richard Lucae, financed by the citizens of Frankfurt and built by Philipp Holzmann. Construction began in 1873. It opened on October 20, 1880. 

The Alte Oper was almost completely destroyed by bombs during World War II in 1944 (only some of the outside walls and façades survived). In the 1960s the city magistrate planned to build a modern office building on the site. The then Minister of Economy in Hessen Rudi Arndt, earned the nickname "Dynamit-Rudi" (Dynamite Rudi) when he proposed to blow up "Germany's most beautiful ruin" with "a little dynamite". Arndt later said that this was not meant seriously.

A citizen's initiative campaigned for reconstruction funds after 1953 and collected 15 million DM. It ended costing c. DM160, and the building was reopened on August 28, 1981, to the sounds of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8, the "Symphony of a Thousand". A live recording of that concert conducted by Michael Gielen is available on CD.
