Theater im Schlossgarten Bückeburg

Goldoni in the Palace Gardens

Carlo Goldoni's "The Servant of Two Masters" is one of the most frequently performed comedies in Italian theater. The tale of the wily Truffaldino, who takes on two jobs at once and becomes ensnared in increasingly absurd lies and mix-ups, serves as a masterclass in charm, improvisation, and the eternal question of how much truth a person can handle. Goldoni's sharp observations of the bourgeois society of his time remain highly relevant in the 21st century.

Faust-Theater directed by Gerhard Weber

The Faust-Theater is an independent, professional ensemble specializing in classical plays, frequently staging summer productions in unique locations. This production in the Bückeburg palace gardens is directed by Gerhard Weber, with production management by Jürgen Höcker. The cast features Jessica Blume (Beatrice), Markus Streubel (Truffaldino), Jürgen Morche (Pantalone), Eugenia Winkler (Clarice), Sören Ergang (Florindo), and Eser Duran (Silvio).

Four Evenings of Performance

The play will be performed on four consecutive evenings from August 20 to 23, 2026. Performances on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday begin at 8:00 PM, with the final show on Sunday starting at 7:00 PM. Each performance lasts approximately two and a half hours. Doors open one hour before the start, with open seating available. In case of rain, the performance will move to the Remise.

The Palace Garden as a Stage

The Bückeburg palace garden is a historic landscape park surrounding the palace. For this open-air production, the park will be decorated with Venetian gondolas, bringing the spirit of the lagoon city to the grounds. The towering trees, the light of the setting sun, and the play of shadows among the branches will all become part of the performance.
