MVV Energie AG - Annual Report 2006/2007
| Children and the high art form of opera? They don’t go together, the sceptics would say. In spite of all these prejudices, the Nationaltheater Mannheim and MVV Energie were open to the Young Opera project. Children and young people have learned to love “their” Young Opera. The performers in the music theatre play “Sheep”, Angelika Baumgartner and Uwe Topmann, can vouch that their youthful public is more than enthusiastic about listening to old music with new ears and discovering new music. We gain a great deal of pleasure from this ambitious children’s music theatre, not least because we assisted in its birth. |
o = Offenheit (openness)
It is not always easy to be open to new ways of doing things. Old methods are familiar – they provide a feeling of being on the safe side. Our hallmark is not just to react to innovations, but to play an active role in shaping the future. This is also reflected in our involvement in gas trading on the energy exchange. Trading began on 1 July 2007 – one day later, we had already undertaken our first trial transaction.
