Pope Joan

Musical World: 
“Christoph Weyers has outdone himself with this changeable stage: sometimes an imposing flight of steps from Rome, sometimes a sultry brothel, sometimes an ancient Germanic forest with a wooden hut, sometimes a splendid marketplace of St. Denis, then again an austere monastery school, a lavish feast at the bishop’s, a pope’s throne or a romantic forest - everything turns and changes at lightning speed in David Kachlir’s atmospheric lighting.” 

MusicalZentrale: 
“The stage set (Christoph Weyers) is changed with the help of a revolving stage - depending on the scene, one sees a large staircase that can be divided in the middle, on the other side scenes are shown for which a flat plane is needed. When the revolving stage is moved, you hear a loud creaking sound, which adds to the mood in mysterious and dark scenes.” 

nh24.de: 
“23 stage scenes, 23 scene applauses - the audience was in a premiere mood. Stage designer Christoph Weyers installed a revolving playing surface on which the main character Johanna, in the story set in the ninth century, sometimes lived in her hut at home on the banks of the Rhine in Ingelheim, sometimes was allowed to study in the monastery of Fulda disguised as a young monk, or was called to the aid of the Pope’s envoys in Rome as a skilful doctor.”
