Der Teufel auf Erden

“The Devil on Earth”, a result of Franz von Suppès' great successes “Fatinitza” and “Boccaccio”, premiered in 1878 at the Carltheater in Vienna.

The devil has disappeared from hell! Hell servant Ruprecht is commissioned to look for him on earth. There he is joined by an unequal companion in the form of the angel Rupert. A nunnery in the 17th century, a barracks in the 19th century and a dance school today are the stations of the breathless search for the Prince of Hell.

In order, as Suppè biographer Hans-Dieter Roser writes, to give the "happy, musically demanding whole" new conciseness, Alexander Kuchinka has pointedly transferred the original, time-critical approach to the present day. Jakob Brenner did the thorough musical revision based on Suppé's score autograph. The outfitter director Hinrich Horstkotte, who has proven himself several times at the Volksoper, stages with imaginative productions.
