City theatre resumes operations post summer holiday

The City Theatre is gearing up for an exciting new season, with a diverse array of shows and concerts planned for the coming months. The motto for the season is 'Tracks', reflecting the variety and journey that audiences can expect.

The season will officially begin on Wednesday, September 3, with a preview concert that serves as a curtain-raiser for the season. This will be followed by the 1st Symphony Concert on Thursday, September 4. Conducted by Andreas Schüller, the concert features works by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Richard Strauss, and Amy Beach. However, specific details about the artists performing are not available at this time. It is known that on the same date, the Deutsche-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (DSO) is scheduled to open its season, but the conductor's name is not provided here.

The New Tracks 25/26: The Season Show will take centre stage on Sunday, September 7, at 7:30 PM, presenting highlights from the upcoming season on the open-air Summer Stage.

In addition to the main shows, the Summer Stage will offer special theatre experiences under the open sky from Friday, September 5, with free admission. On Saturday, September 6, the schedule includes tea and Bulgarian songs, the City Theatre's opera choir, and an Open Mic event.

The first premiere in the Great Hall on September 13 is "Prince Friedrich of Homburg", produced by Anaïs Durand-Mauptit. The second premiere on September 20 is "Gloria", an original production directed by Simone Sterr, taking place in the Small Hall.

A children's festival is held on Sunday, September 7, with games, crafts, and surprises for the whole family. On Saturday, September 6, the schedule includes an Open Mic event.

On-site staff is ready to provide advice and assistance, and attractive subscription discounts are available for many more offers. City Theatre Director Simone Sterr welcomes staff for the 2025/2026 season.

All shows up to and including October are available for presale. Information and tickets can be found on the website www.stadttheater-our website.

As the City Theatre prepares for the new season, audiences can look forward to a rich and varied programme that promises to entertain and inspire.
