August 24 th - 27 th: Directly from Munich, we proudly present the WestEnd Opera, the world´s first musical based on the culture of HipHop.
WestEndOpera - The authentic "HipHopera" from Munich is produced and performed by a multi-ethnical cast aged 18 to 28 years. Based on the culture of HipHop, unified by the goal to bring their own life on stage, the powerful, deep and motivating musical was celebrated in Europe. Their ways of expression: German rap and soul songs, streetdance, breakdance, modern dance, show fight, live video animation and a vibrancy that is as young and fresh as the youth of the ´90 ies.
