Willkommen im Weihnachtslieder-Studio - Deutsche Oper Berlin

Welcome to the Christmas Carol Studio

Australian soprano Alexandra Hutton dreamed of a white Christmas as a child - I saw my first snow a few years ago, in Switzerland: I came out of a restaurant late at night, everything was quiet - and there were snowflakes everywhere. It was so beautiful that I immediately cried. In Australia, of course, Christmas is summer, so we often celebrated at our beach house on the coast of New South Wales. And my grandma gave me a new beach towel every year! —

Australian baritone Samuel Dale Johnson barbecues in the garden for the festive season - When I was twelve, we went skiing in the Snowy Mountains, that's where I saw snow for the first time. But not at Christmas, but in our winter, in July. Over the holidays we had a prawn barbecue. Guess who was hopping around the garden? That's right, kangaroos. —

Watch here our video: White Christmas!

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

 I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow


„White Christmas“

The interview was held by Markus Brück.

He can do them all, the villains, the creeps, the misanthropes. Markus Brück needs to give his colleagues some lessons here, and probably you too. Because no one can hold a candle to Markus when it comes to grim and gruesome: "Imagine you wake up in the morning, you've slept terribly, had horrible dreams and it's Christmas. The most horrible festival of the year. I hate Christmas. That's what I want to see"

Patrick Guetti and Tyler Zimmerman first try good humour and entertainment. And then you can only ask Markus: "You hate Christmas? It is the most joyful time of the year ... with family and presents ... Markus! Don't be such a Grinch!"

You're a mean one, Mister Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel, Mister Grinch.
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel.

You’re a monster, Mister Grinch!
Your heart’s an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You’ve got garlic in your soul, Mister Grinch!
I wouldn’t touch you with a
thirty-nine-and-one-half-foot pole

You’re a foul one, Mister Grinch!
You’re a nasty-wasty skunk!
Your heart is full of unwashed socks,
Your soul is full of gunk, Mister Grinch!
The three words that best describe you
Are as follows and I quote:
Stink! - Stank! - Stunk!

You’re a vile one, Mister Grinch!
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile, Mister Grinch!
(Spoken:) And given the choice between the two of you
I’d take the seasick crocodile

You’re a rotter, Mister Grinch!
You’re the king of sinful sots.
Your heart’s a dead tomato
Spotched with moldy, purple spots, Mister Grinch...
(Spoken:) Your soul is an appalling dumpheap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, mangled up in
...Tangled-up knots.

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch!
With a nauseous, super naus.
You’re a crooked jerkey jockey
And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch!
(Spoken:) You’re a three-decker Sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich
...with arsenic sauce.


„You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch“

... is a Christmas carol originally composed in 1966 for the cartoon special How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The lyrics were written by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel and the music was composed by Albert Hague.

You know the lyrics and the choreography is no problem for show hoppers like you. Kenneth Berkel, Peter Nitsch and Rüdiger Ruppert add the swing ... Go for it!
