A colorful program of politics, city whispers, music and acrobatics entertains during the carnival season in the town hall of Spittal an der Drau.

"This year's premiere was a success," says a delighted Peter Schober, Chancellor of the Spittal an der Drau Carnival Guild. And that's despite the fact that, due to the current political developments, some of the acts had to be tweaked before the weekend.

Guard and acrobatics inspire
"There were new developments almost every day. However, our director and 'Mr. Ano-Nym' Gerald Köck has managed to bring everything to life with his usual sharp tongue," reports Schober. This year's carnival program comprises 14 acts, including a performance by the guard girls and successful acrobatic acts by SGS Spittal. 

No eye remains dry during "Ei-Ei". Here, Fritzi Golobic and her directing partner Gerald Köck show off their acting skills and provide humorous insights into the marital breakfast table. "We also focus on the traffic circles in Spittal," says the chancellor.

The flowers in the city park, on the other hand, are in great danger - a brazen thief is out and about with scissors trying to steal the delicate little plants. 

Tickets are still available for the sessions on January 18, 24, February 1, 8 and 15. The children's session takes place on February 2 (2 pm). Tickets are available online.
