Nibelungen-Festspiele — Recital Concert „Landschaften“ with Maria Schrader

The Nibelungen-Festspiele Worms

The Nibelungen-Festspiele are one of Germany's most prominent open-air theatre events. Since 2002, a major production based on the Nibelungen saga has been performed annually on a natural stage in front of the Worms Cathedral—featuring renowned directors, award-winning actors, and a rich accompanying program. The „Kulturprogramm der Nibelungen-Festspiele“ (Cultural Program of the Nibelungen-Festspiele) bundles chamber music, literary, and film formats that complement the main play.

Maria Schrader — A Versatile Artist

Maria Schrader is among the internationally most renowned German filmmakers and actresses. As an actress, she has appeared in numerous German-language feature films, directed films such as „Vor der Morgenröte“ and „Ich bin dein Mensch,“ and won an Emmy for the Netflix series „Unorthodox.“ Her performances as a speaker and interpreter of literary texts are highlights of the German-speaking literary scene.

The Program „Landschaften“

The recital concert „Landschaften“ combines literary texts on nature, travel, and inner experience with a musical framework. The exact texts and music will be published in advance on nibelungenfestspiele.de. The concert lasts approximately 90 minutes and utilizes the intimate stage setting of „Das Wormser“ theatre—one of the most modern theatre houses in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The Cultural Program Concept

The festival's cultural program highlights are aimed at an audience that wishes to complement the grand open-air production with complementary, often highly intimate formats. They are designed as standalone experiences and can be booked individually, yet they perfectly enhance the festival weekend.
