Theatres and orchestras in Thuringia

Let's make a scene

We find beauty in green nature – but also in art and culture. In the theatre, for example, which has been thrilling audiences with dramas, comedies and emotions since the days of the ancient Greeks. To this day, the theatre remains a place of encounter and shared experience. When the curtain rises, a space is created in which stories come to life and social issues are addressed – directly, intensely, in the here and now. Thuringia has also made theatre history – with Duke Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen, who founded modern director's theatre and whose 200th birthday is being celebrated in his hometown this year.

Thuringia’s theater culture also comes to life outdoors. Against impressive backdrops, theatrical tradition, musical expression, and a summery atmosphere blend together to create unique experiences. Set against historic locations and modern productions, a vibrant interplay emerges between art and audience—emotional, accessible, and full of charisma.
