Schmidts TIVOLI GmbH: A Modern Volkstheater for Head and Heart
Schmidts TIVOLI GmbH is a renowned theater company in Hamburg, Germany that offers modern Volkstheater productions for audiences of all ages. The company comprises three theaters - Schmidt Theater, Schmidts Tivoli, and Schmidtchen - located on the famous Reeperbahn street in St. Pauli district.
Founded in 1988 by Corny Littmann and Martin Woelffer, Schmidts TIVOLI has become a cultural institution in Hamburg with its unique blend of comedy, music, cabaret, and drama. The company's mission is to provide high-quality entertainment that appeals to both the head and heart of its audience.
One of the flagship theaters of Schmidts TIVOLI is the Schmidt Theater which opened its doors in 1988 with a production called "Heiße Ecke" (Hot Corner). Since then, it has staged numerous successful shows such as "Caveman", "Die Königs vom Kiez" (The Kings of the District), "SIXX PAXX", and many more. With a seating capacity of 420 people, the Schmidt Theater offers an intimate atmosphere where performers can connect with their audience on a personal level.
Another jewel in Schmidts TIVOLI's crown is Schmidts Tivoli which was inaugurated in 1991 as an extension to the Schmidt Theater. With its Art Nouveau facade and plush interiors, Schmidts Tivoli exudes elegance and sophistication. It can accommodate up to 660 spectators who can enjoy top-notch productions like "Heiße Ecke Reloaded" or "Das Wunder von Bern" (The Miracle of Bern).
For those who prefer smaller venues with more intimate settings, there's Schmidtchen - a cozy theater that seats only 99 people but packs a punch when it comes to entertainment value. Here you can catch shows like "Kaspar und das kleine Gespenst" (Kaspar and the Little Ghost) or "Die Räuberinnen" (The Robbers' Women) which showcase some of Germany's finest acting talent.
What sets Schmidts TIVOLI apart from other theater companies is its commitment to modernizing traditional Volkstheater while staying true to its roots. The term 'Volkstheater' refers to popular theater that caters to working-class audiences by addressing social issues through humor or satire. In this sense, it serves as both entertainment and education for people from all walks of life.
Schmidt Theater Productions are known for their witty scripts that tackle contemporary topics such as gender roles, politics or environmentalism without losing sight of their comedic edge. Musicals like “Das Wunder von Bern” have been praised for their catchy tunes while still conveying important messages about family values or national identity.
