Oliver Masucci becomes Severus Snape
For two years now, the Hamburg "Mehr! Theater" has been performing magic. In December 2021, the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" celebrated its German-language premiere here. Now Oliver Masucci, a star who is not entirely unfamiliar with hocus pocus, is joining the ensemble.
Anything "Harry Potter" touches somehow always turns to gold - whether it's Joanne K. Rowling's novels or all the films made around the world of the sorcerer's apprentice. But the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is also on the road to success. After its premiere in London in 2016, it not only made the leap to Broadway. It was also showered with theater awards.
Almost exactly two years ago, the play continued its triumphal march in Hamburg. On December 5, 2021, it had its German-language premiere in the specially converted "Mehr! Theater", which was specially converted for this purpose. Since then, it has been impossible to imagine the wholesale market in the Hanseatic city without the hocus pocus.
Ten dates with Masucci
Almost right on time for its two-year anniversary, the Hamburg production now has a special surprise in store. Next year, the internationally renowned film, television and theater actor Oliver Masucci will be joining the ensemble for selected performances. The 55-year-old will slip into the role of Severus Snape on a total of ten dates from the end of February to March 10.
Die-hard fans of the "Harry Potter" universe are likely to take note of the news. After all, this is not Masucci's first encounter with the stories penned by Joanne K. Rowling. In the third part of the film series "Fantastic Beasts", which tells the story of the legendary wizard's apprentice, he already played Anton Vogel, the chairman of the wizarding world. Other viewers may know the actor from films such as "He's Back" (2015), "Chess Novella" (2021) or the series "4 Blocks" (2017-2018).
However, if you want to experience the magic of the moment at "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child", you should be quick. Tickets for the performances with Oliver Masucci are likely to sell out quickly.
