Wer kennt sie nicht, die Insel mit zwei Bergen? Nach dem Erfolg des »Dschungelbuchs« kommen nun weitere beliebte Helden der (Kinder-)Literatur auf die Kieler...

Because the island of Lummerland with its two mountains has become too small for four residents and the king, Lukas and the orphan Jim are forced to travel out into the wide world with the Emma locomotive. On their wondrous journey they discover new foreign lands, defy many dangers together and in the end save the princess Li Si from the clutches of the dragon lady Ms. Mahlzahn. Richer by many experiences and with a second small island in tow, they all return to their homeland together: "In Lummerland, in Lummerland, every grief is unknown!"

Who doesn't know the island with two mountains? After the success of the »Jungle Book«, other popular heroes of (children's) literature are now coming to the Kiel opera stage! The successful duo Elena Kats-Chernin and Susanne F. Wolf tell Michael Ende's well-known and popular story about Jim Knopf and his adventures with Lukas, the locomotive driver and his locomotive Emma, ​​in imaginative images, colorful orchestral sounds and sometimes sweeping, lively, sometimes dreamy-enchanted music numbers . A story about friendship and dealing with strangers that has lost none of its relevance even after more than 60 years.
