Meraner Festspiele 2026 - in German „The Silence of the City“

A spa town, having awakened from years of a Sleeping Beauty-like slumber, invites guests to the grand opening of a new thermal bath — an event expected to draw press representatives from across the globe. In the play The Silence of the City, this seemingly local occasion becomes a stage for world theatre, where the spotlight falls on the most pressing questions of our time. Anyone who doesn't laugh at this performance — with its historical costumes from the Belle Époque — may well have lost the ability to laugh altogether. An evening of theatre marked by rare intensity, beauty, and poetry. If you don't laugh here, you may never laugh again.

The performance will be held in standard German.
