An evening full of dark humor and great chanson art at Burg Rabeneck
With Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, the Franconian Theatre Summer brings a musical program to Burg Rabeneck on June 7, 2026, focusing on the bitterly ironic songs of Georg Kreisler. On stage is Stefan Rieger, who sings, plays, and narrates – an evening between piano cabaret, literary finesse, and fine satire.
When sharp words become music
Georg Kreisler is regarded as a master of dark humor and a key figure in piano cabaret. His chansons combine biting irony, social critique, and musical precision. This concert and theater experience draws its suspense from this: Every line hits, every punchline has weight, and every melody opens a new perspective on human weaknesses and charming abysses.
Stefan Rieger brings the Kreisler's trademark to life
Stefan Rieger guides the audience through an evening full of anecdotes, quirky texts, and musical intensifications. According to the organizer, he interprets the pieces at the piano and connects them with stories from Kreisler's life. Thus, it creates not just a pure homage, but a concentrated concert experience that combines wit, stage performance, and musical clarity.
Burg Rabeneck as an atmospheric open-air backdrop
The venue adds a special frame to the event: Burg Rabeneck is located in the Wiesent Valley near Waischenfeld and can be reached via Rabeneck 22. Access is also possible through the village of Rabeneck; from there, a hiking trail leads to the castle in about 15 minutes. The historical setting, quiet location, and special atmosphere make the evening an experience that goes far beyond an ordinary concert.
Between cabaret, chanson, and acoustic finesse
The program moves in the tradition of musical cabaret and chanson art. Those who love Georg Kreisler will find here a mixture of fine orchestration, pointed language, and the live-tensed atmosphere of the audience. The charm of this evening lies especially in the interplay of voice, piano, and narrative approach: It is precise, entertaining, and witty at the same time.
Conclusion: Poisoning Pigeons in the Park promises an evening with attitude, humor, and musical presence. Anyone who appreciates dark satire, clever chansons, and a special castle backdrop should mark this date and enjoy the experience live on-site.
