Beautiful Souls

Felix Salten’s comedy Schöne Seelen transports the audience to Vienna at the turn of the century and into Chambre Séparée No. 7—a microcosm brimming with elegance, secrets, and the rules of high society. Here, pianists, waiters, princes, and the headwaiter Mr. Heinrich cross paths. At the center of it all is Mizzi Manhardt, who arrives with ever-changing, always well-to-do companions. Amid champagne, longings, and fleeting moments of happiness, an entertaining yet thought-provoking play unfolds about desires and hopes.

Directed by Susanna Szameit, Judith Brandstätter, Jurek Milewski, Dinko Bilic, Verena Kitzler, and Fabian Janisch bring the multifaceted characters to life. The play promises a charming journey into a world of beautiful illusions and hidden dreams.
