Classic Open Air Altenburg

Altenburg 2025 — Classic on the Market Square

In June 2025, two open-air classical music evenings took place on Altenburg's market square. Under the direction of Kapellmeister Thomas Wicklein, the Altenburg Gera Theater, with soloists, the Philharmonic Orchestra, and choirs, presented a program of opera, operetta, and musical. The Renaissance market setting with the illuminated Town Hall, the balmy summer evening, and the musical quality made the concerts a firm highlight of Altenburg's summer cultural calendar — a tradition that will be crowned in 2026 with the Wicklein farewell homage.
