Berlin audiences can watch Laurent perform in a completely reworked version of Offenbach’s La vie parisienne titled Berliner Leben this March and April at the Neuköllner Oper. Berlin's drug dealers, tattoo artists, and hustlers show the city's, ahem, "poor but sexy" side to a (un)lucky couple in town for the weekend. This is not Belle Époque Paris. Performances start March 13 and go until April 27th. More information (in German) available on the Neuköllner Oper website. For performance times and tickets click here. |

This September audiences in the Rhineland can come see Laurent Martin sing in the rarely performed Das Unmöglichste von Allem by Anton Urspruch. The pianopianissimo music theater is dedicated to producing rare operas from late 19th and early 20th centuries. They have cast Laurent as Pedrillo in this surrealist setting of the 1897 comic opera. The premier will be on September 22, 7:30pm at Forum Leverkusen. Ticket information here. |

The port of Bremerhaven has invited tenor Laurent Martin and soprano Maija Lisa Currie to help them celebrate the opening of the newly expanded Kaiserschleuse-- the world’s second largest maritime lock. The concert will be preceded by a flotilla of hundreds of private boats that will come together for a world record attempt in the lock. Laurent and Maija will entertain with sailing-themed jazz, schlager, pop, and traditional songs on April 30th along the banks of the lock for the record-breaking sailors and the thousands of people expected to come celebrate and enjoy the carnival atmosphere of the concert. Those of you unable to attend in person can listen to highlights on Radio Bremen and watch that evening on NDR. Concert details on the Bremen Ports website.
