Profile
The MeckProms are the annual open-air summer concert of the Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle Schwerin and part of the Schlossfestspiele program. The concept is modeled after London's »Last Night of the Proms«: sophisticated classical music under the open sky, a cheerful program character, and an audience that brings its own picnic and drinks. For over twenty years, the format has been a reliable highlight of the festival season in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Venue
The open-air stage in the Schwerin Palace Gardens — an amphitheater from the 1930s — offers the ideal backdrop: theatrically terraced, with a view of the Burgsee lake and the neighboring Schwerin Palace (a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2024). Several thousand guests can find space on the lawns and steps around the stage.
Program 2026
Under the title »A Grand Night for Singing«, the Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle Schwerin will perform a program of classical music, film scores, and Broadway highlights. Soloists from the Mecklenburgisches Staatstheater will sing the great stage hits, and the audience will be invited to sing along at the end — just like at the original Proms in London's Royal Albert Hall.
