Maleen fights for justice: the Moorkatoper enthusiastically in the open -air museum

Freilichtmuseum Schwerin-Mueß, Hufe 1, 19063 Schwerin, Deutschland - What is happening in the Schwerin Muß open-air museum? Today, on July 10, 2025, the signs are on culture, because the Low German musical "de Moorkatenoper" is listed here. The story revolves around the protagonist Maleeen, who no longer wants to submit to the strict teaching of her father and the unchangeability of the world. She is determined to find the real culprit of the death of her brother, who was shot during the poach. Maleen sees this as a murder and rejects the conventional explanations of the forest administrator and the game dealer. This emotionally charging act promises to captivate the viewers.

The musical is a creation of Gerhard Loew and Peter Michael and was premiered in 1978 under the title "Grattleroper" in Munich. In the 1980s it became a cult piece, which partly experienced over 500 sold -out performances at the Bavarian Volkstheater on Bavarian dialect stages. A ARD television recording and the translation into Low German also ensured a great success at the Ohnsorg Theater. Now it is brought to life in the idyllic open-air museum, which becomes the stage for the summer theater piece of the Fritz-Reuter-stage.

Nowadays, Germany has established itself as one of the most important locations in the international musical scene and always produces new, own musicals.
