Heidelberg Castle Festival

Every summer, the Castle Festival is eagerly awaited by Heidelberg's residents and guests. The unique Renaissance buildings of the castle, its dreamy nooks and crannies, as well as the extensive gardens and parks, provide an architecturally and atmospherically fascinating locale for the artistic work of the theatre. It is, indeed, a theatre with tradition: the Shakespeare Globe Theatre group stayed here as a guest when in 1613 the Globe Theatre in London was destroyed by fire. The 2011 open-air theatre program offers a diverse and multi-faceted program that includes the perennial favorite, the famous operetta "The Student Prince."

Courtyards and open spaces become stages, walls and corners become the backdrops, making every Castle Festival performance an unforgettable experience.
