The Knight von Rafenstain

Welcome to 14th-century South Tyrol – a time of upheaval, myths and power struggles. ‘The Knight of Rafenstain’ is a newly composed musical based on the medieval novel of the same name by Danish author and knight Charles von Rafenstain. Inspired by historical events and real personalities from the region, it tells a moving story of honour, guilt, love and loyalty.

The focus is on Francisk von Rafenstain, born in 1321 at Auer Castle, whose extraordinary life between inner struggles and external challenges is both touching and thrilling. What began as a literary work of depth is now unfolding as a major stage event – powerful, emotional and visually stunning.
