Noch 'ne Oper is a musical-comedic German television revue from 1978/79 based on an opera by Heinz Erhardt , on whose 70th birthday this production was created. Directed by Claus Peter Witt .
action
A theater director is supposed to perform an eerily beautiful fairy tale from the late Middle Ages with singing in his venue, an opera, and so the director of the house lets the author (Erhardt's voice before 1971) hear the content of the events surrounding the knight from the off Kunibert tell in his castle in 1548. Then the story is performed in three acts. The most important singing parts are taken over by two men and one woman.
About the content of the opera: It begins with a big feast at Kunibert's castle. The sensual Clothilde puts horns on her husband, the lord of the castle Kunibert, and deceives him with the lustful knight Geierblick. When Kunibert returns from a robber baron attack on the freight forwarder Meier and catches his wife with the rival red-handed, he is frantic with jealousy and the disaster takes its course. A terrible bloodbath ensues, which none of those involved survive. At the end of the successful performance, the theater director finally gives all participants alcoholic drinks.
The not very serious shower ballad is embedded in a framework action in a windy autumn park. At the beginning and at the end of the story, Heinz Erhardt appears as the creator of the opera, whose numerous ideas, written down on paper and then discarded, are scattered and picked up and read out by prominent colleagues such as Liselotte Pulver, Inge Meysel and Heinz Rühmann, as well as Chris Howland who impales several of these pieces of paper and thereby collects them again. The closing words belong to Heinz Erhardt. He says off-screen: “You see, it's a very sad affair, but we don't make serious things happier by treating them seriously. Only happy things are worth treating seriously. "
Production notes
Another opera was created in the autumn of 1978 in Erhardt's adopted home of Hamburg ( Studio Hamburg ). Erhardt himself was present during the shooting in the studio. In the one-hour piece, over two dozen popular TV and screen stars, who were often only rewarded symbolically, appeared as guests. This entertainment revue was broadcast on ZDF on Wednesday, February 21, 1979, one day after Erhardt's 70th birthday. This television production was released on DVD in 2013.
Peter Thomas arranged the music composed by Heinz Erhardt. The radio orchestra of Südwestfunk will play under the direction of Emmerich Smola . Gerd Krauss designed the buildings. The costumes are from Nuscha de Archer . Karl Jobig was production manager.
background
Erhardt came up with the idea of an operetta parody centered around a gruesomely beautiful knight's dando (as Erhardt himself called his opus) of forbidden love, bloody vengeance and medieval men with constantly dry throats, came to Erhardt in 1936/37 in Riga. Since the work, which premiered in Germany in 1949, was only about a third of the length of Weill's and Brecht's Die Dreigroschenoper , he briefly called his work Die Zehnpfennig-Oper .
