Cultural series with thirteen concert, theatre, and comedy events from March to November at Alt-Dahn Castle
Alt-Dahn Castle is the largest and best-known rock castle in the Dahner Felsenland. Perched on a mighty red sandstone rock above the town of Dahn, it offers one of the most atmospheric open-air stages in the Palatinate. Open-air concerts with the panorama of the Wasgau, organ concerts in front of historic walls, theatre performances in a setting that rivals any classical production – Alt-Dahn Castle makes the Sommerspiele a special experience.
The series spans the entire year: it begins in March with "Rock meets Klassik" by the Rhineland-Palatinate State Police Orchestra and ends in November with the carnival opening by the KVE. In between, there are classical concerts (Junge Klassik, Organ Concert Dan Zerfaß), comedy (Amjad, anonyme Giddarischde), poetry slam, Palatinate dialect theatre (Hannelore Bähr "Bürckel!"), open-air picnic concerts ("Picknick im Park"), Pfalztheater guest performances, brass concerts, and children's theatre ("Das Traumfresserchen").
What distinguishes the Dahner Sommerspiele is its programmatic breadth: high culture and popular theatre, classical music and comedy, adult programmes and children's theatre stand side-by-side on equal footing. This diversity is the programme and makes the series the cultural anchor of an entire year in the Felsenland.
All events can be booked as individual tickets via Reservix; there is no subscription. This allows the programme to be flexibly tailored to personal interests. Prices vary depending on the format and artist; classical concerts and theatre performances are in the range of typical season tickets.
The Dahner Sommerspiele are organized by the town of Dahn. Tickets are available via Reservix or directly from the town of Dahn. Current programme details and ticket prices per event are available at dahner-sommerspiele.de.
