Peter Maffay's 'Anouk' Musical Premieres to Acclaim in Hannover

The musical, inspired by Maffay's daughter, marks a modern twist on children's storytelling and is set to tour after its local run.

Peter Maffay's new musical 'Anouk' premiered on November 3 at the GOP Theater in Hannover, drawing enthusiastic responses from the audience.
The musical is based on a children's book series co-created by Maffay and his wife, Hendrikje Balsmeyer, inspired by their daughter Anouk.
Featuring adventures through a secret door into a world of fantasy, 'Anouk' offers a contemporary take on children's musicals, akin to Maffay's earlier success with 'Tabaluga'.
Prominent guests at the premiere included musician Johannes Oerding, who co-wrote the title song, and various members of the local community.
The musical will run in Hannover until January 5, 2025, before embarking on a tour across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Northern Italy.
