A sparkling evening between jazz, longing, and the shadows of the Golden Twenties
On June 19, 2026, the Pantheon in Bonn transforms into a stage for glamour, desire, and literary elegance. Robert Nippoldt & the Green Light Ensemble present The Great Gatsby as a musical reading with live drawings – a stage experience that merges literature, music, and visual art into a shimmering theatrical atmosphere. The production delves deep into F. Scott Fitzgerald's world of extravagant parties, unfulfilled love, and social masquerades. ([pantheon.de](https://www.pantheon.de/programm/%26t%3D720))
When Art Deco meets performing arts
Robert Nippoldt not only draws scenes, he opens up visual spaces. Lines, surfaces, and figures are created live before the eyes of the audience, enlarged onto the screen and carried by the precision of artistic direction. Jazz, Charleston, and the sonic elegance of the Roaring Twenties resonate, adding a vibrant lightness to the evening. The result is not an ordinary theater night but a poetic production that blends reading, performance, and concert. ([pantheon.de](https://www.pantheon.de/programm/%26t%3D720))
Fitzgerald's novel as vibrant presence
The Great Gatsby tells of the dream of ascent, longing, decadence, and the green light at the end of the dock. This production highlights exactly these tensions: the intoxication of society, Gatsby's quiet obsession, the fragile surface of an era that already carries the fall within its shine. The musical reading thus hits the core of the material and makes the tragedy of the novel physically palpable. ([pantheon.de](https://www.pantheon.de/programm/%26t%3D720))
An evening with profile and presence
The program is considered a diverting, stylish journey through time that highlights the glamour and decadence, as well as the melancholic depth of the classic. Robert Nippoldt is established as a highly awarded book artist and entertainer; his work is internationally acclaimed and is repeatedly present on stages with a special interplay of illustration, lecture, and performance. For the cultural audience, this creates an evening with high aesthetic density and a clear artistic signature. ([nippoldt.de](https://www.nippoldt.de/info?utm_source=openai))
The Pantheon as a fitting resonance space
The Pantheon in Bonn-Beuel offers the ideal framework for this format: accessible, air-conditioned, and well-connected to public transport. The directions mention the ground-level access, an onsite disabled toilet, and parking options around Siegburger Straße 42. This creates a conveniently reachable theater experience with urban comfort for visitors. ([pantheon.de](https://www.pantheon.de/service/wegbeschreibung.html))

This evening promises atmosphere, precision, and great imagery in the mind. Be sure to secure tickets early and experience the shine of the Golden Twenties in Bonn for yourself.
