“When I’m rich…” thus begins the daydreams of the milkman Tevje from the small “Schtetl” Anatevka, a village in Russia with Polish-Jewish inhabitants at the beginning of the 20th century. Tevje is a devout, humorous man who does not have much money, but he has five daughters! And they sure keep him on his toes. For Tevje, tradition is the measure of all things, but especially the three oldest daughters, whom he is trying to marry off with the help of the matchmaker Jente, have a mind of their own. With heart and persistence, they force Tevje time and again to turn a blind eye to his principles.

But then the world of the family is thrown into disarray: at the peak of a wedding celebration, they learn that the Shtetl must be vacated in three days. The villagers pack their bags, a journey into the unknown begins. But what will happen to Anatevka? And what does it do to the people? One thing is clear: even in the face of expulsion and pogrom, Tevje will not let his humor and zest for life be taken away.

Since its world premiere in 1964 on Broadway in New York, ANATEVKA has been one of the classics of the musical repertoire. The compelling story, embedded in captivating dance scenes and grand show numbers, is a tightrope walk between comedy and tragedy, between Jewish wit and heart-wrenching sadness.
