A Christmas Carol – Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte

German premiere of Alan Menken's musical adaptation

About

Ebenezer Scrooge, a notoriously greedy and cruel moneylender, despises Christmas. His transformation begins with a visit from his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of three spectral visitors. These Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future reveal the error of his ways and the tragic consequences of his actions, ultimately leading him to embrace the spirit of the season.
