Staatstheater Mainz season program 2016/17

The season program 2016/17 of Staatstheater Mainz (Mainz State Theater) opens with an impressive collection of photographs of its members, purposefully presented in no hierarchical order to showcase the wide array of talent both on stage and off required to make it work. The program's strikingly compact format allows for every single face to fill an entire page and momentarily, equanimously, "take center stage". Constituting one half of the booklet – and creating its distinct half-black, half-white edge – this portrait gallery deliberately precedes the information section with details on the upcoming opera, drama, dance and concert premieres and repertoire pieces presented in a clearly structured overview characterized by large lettering, clear graphics and the theater's highly recognizable star logo. The result is a season program that aims to inform and inspire, offering an immediate and deeply personal introduction to the ideas and workings of Staatstheater Mainz. The season program is supplemented by a booklet for the young audience as well as two flyers with an overview of the subscriptions and performances.
