Knapp 100 Jahre nachdem Thomas Mann persönlich zu Gast im Excelsior Hotel Ernst war, wird das Kölner Grand Hotel am 7. Januar 2023 Spielstätte der ersten Vertonung seines weltberühmten letzten Romans, „Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Felix Krull“. Marc L. Vogler hat den Stoff rund um den Sohn eines bankrotten Schaumweinfabrikanten, der sich vom Liftboy zum falschen Grafen von Luxemburg hochstapelt und der bereits mehrfach verfilmt wurde, zum Inhalt seiner Opernkomposition „Felix Krull“ gemacht. Möglich wird die Aufführung durch eine Zusammenarbeit des Excelsior Hotels mit der Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln und durch Fördermittel der Kunststiftung NRW und des Fördervereins der Hochschule.Das Konzept dieses in der Form einmaligen Musiktheaterprojektes ist es, zeitgenössische Oper unmittelbarer zu machen. Das Stück spielt inmitten des Publikums. In der zweiaktigen Oper wird der Zuschauerraum zur Bühne, die Bühne zum Zuschauerraum. Das Publikum wird im Excelsior Hotel Ernst wahrhaftig mit Krull anstoßen können.Manns Roman, der aktueller scheint denn je, wird zur multimedialen Wandeloper: das Publikum sitzt nicht starr in Reihen, sondern wird von Krull sowohl inhaltlich als auch räumlich an die scheinbaren Originalschauplätze im Hotel geführt. Schließlich ist das Grand Hotel die Bühne des Hochstaplers Felix Krull. In Zeiten von Social Media, Influencern, virtuellen Identitäten und Fake News ist der Hochstapler keine Randfigur mehr, sondern in der Mitte unserer Gesellschaft angekommen; einer Gesellschaft, die betrügt und betrogen werden will!Und wenn bei Thomas Mann ausgerechnet ein Opernsänger, der Wiesbadener Müller-Rosé, das künstlerische Vorbild Krulls ist, fordert der Stoff geradezu eine Vertonung heraus. Thomas Mann rückt mit ihm den Künstler ironisch in die Nähe des Hochstaplers und damit zugleich den Hochstapler in die Nähe des Künstlers. Eine Koinzidenz, welche gleich zu Beginn des Stückes die zentrale Frage beantwortet, warum überhaupt gesungen wird: Im Falle von Krull ist der Gesang keine Gattungsnorm, sondern eine Notwendigkeit – ein Hochstapler „spricht“ nicht, er singt!Im Excelsior Hotel Ernst wird die Aufführung mit einem Menü kombiniert, dass das Publikum im Vorfeld des Stücks und in der Pause zu sich nehmen kann. So wird der kulinarische Genuss mit dem künstlerischen verbunden.

Almost 100 years after Thomas Mann was personally a guest at the Excelsior Hotel Ernst, the Cologne Grand Hotel will be the venue on January 7, 2023 for the first setting of his world-famous last novel, "Confessions of the Conman Felix Krull". Marc L. Vogler has made the subject of his opera composition “Felix Krull” about the son of a bankrupt sparkling wine manufacturer, who rises from the elevator boy to the fake Count of Luxembourg and who has already been filmed several times. The performance is made possible by a collaboration between the Excelsior Hotel and the University of Music and Dance in Cologne and by funding from the Kunststiftung NRW and the Förderverein der Hochschule. The concept of this music theater project, which is unique in its form, is to make contemporary opera more immediate. The play takes place in the midst of the audience. In the two-act opera, the auditorium becomes the stage, and the stage becomes the auditorium. The audience at the Excelsior Hotel Ernst will be able to toast to Krull. Mann's novel, which seems more topical than ever, becomes a multimedia strolling opera: the audience does not sit rigidly in rows, but is guided by Krull both in terms of content and space to the apparent original locations in the hotel guided. After all, the Grand Hotel is the stage for impostor Felix Krull. In times of social media, influencers, virtual identities and fake news, the impostor is no longer a marginal figure, but has arrived in the middle of our society; a society that wants to be deceived and be deceived! And if, in the case of Thomas Mann, an opera singer of all things, the Müller-Rosé from Wiesbaden, is Krull's artistic role model, the material almost challenges a musical setting. With it, Thomas Mann ironically puts the artist close to the impostor and at the same time the impostor to the artist. A coincidence which, right at the beginning of the piece, answers the central question of why singing is performed at all: in the case of Krull, singing is not a generic norm, but a necessity - an impostor does not "speak", he sings! The performance at the Excelsior Hotel is serious combined with a menu that the audience can eat in the run-up to the play and during the intermission. In this way, culinary enjoyment is combined with the artistic. which answers the central question right at the beginning of the piece, why is singing at all: In the case of Krull, singing is not a generic norm, but a necessity - an imposter does not "speak", he sings!
