Open-air theatre in the heart of Upper Franconia
The Theatersommer on the Naturbühne Trebgast is one of the most traditional open-air events in the state of Bavaria. The Naturbühne is located in the market town of Trebgast in the Kulmbach district, picturesquely nestled between the Upper Franconian cities of Kulmbach and Bayreuth. From May to September, the ensemble performs under the open sky – the natural backdrop becomes part of the production.
A programme for all generations
Under the season motto "Be Free!", the Naturbühne presents several in-house productions that cover the entire spectrum of theatre:
- Family plays like "Heidi" or "The Jungle Book"
- Classics and dramas like "Biedermann und die Brandstifter" and "Die Welle"
- Comedies like "Die Feuerzangenbowle", "Casanova" and "La Cage aux Folles"
- Fairy tales and children's plays for the youngest guests
Guest performances and cultural programme
The schedule is complemented by a varied programme of guest performances in the fields of music, comedy, cabaret and magic. Artists such as the Keimzeit Akustik Quintett, Wolfgang Krebs or Sebastian Reich perform at the Naturbühne. Thus, the Theatersommer combines the tradition of folk theatre with top-class entertainment.
Part of the Open-Air Theatre Triangle
Together with other Upper Franconian stages, the Naturbühne Trebgast is part of the Freilichttheaterdreieck – an association that shapes the cultural landscape of the region. For theatre lovers from the entire Kulmbach district and beyond, the Theatersommer is a firm summer highlight under the starry sky.
