he story of this wonderful friendship begins with the desire to learn new things, the courage to face the unknown and to overcome obstacles. So the pasque monkey Fip sets out on a journey and disembarks on the pack ice. There he meets the emperor penguin Pin, who immediately introduces him to his family and then shows him around. In the country where Pin lives, there are many things that a monkey has never seen before, such as seagulls, large and small icebergs, humpback whales and even a shipwreck. Fip is very impressed, but the cold is becoming unbearable and he misses the warmth of his homeland. Pin is curious and the unlikely couple embarks together on the ship towards the equator. Arriving, Pin first gets to know Fip's family. For the first time in his life, the emperor penguin sees large and small jungle trees, Parrots and the famous Victoria Falls. Pin is also fascinated by this world, but it's just too warm for him and he longs to be back in the cold. But the friends don't want to part, so they start looking for a place where they both feel comfortable. Dieter Wiesmüller studied graphics, painting and illustration in Hamburg. With Pin Kaiser and Fip Husar - The Story of a Wonderful Friendship , he created his own picture book, which has delighted many children since it was published in 1997. The chamber opera of the same name was based on this book and premiered at the Cologne Opera in 2019. The cheerful musical arrangement of the piece aims to attract even very small children to the opera.
