Sensational open-air theater: The path of the Orpheus inspires in Gera!

On August 22, 2025, Gera will celebrate its premiere in Altenburg Gera: "The path of the Orpheus", a fascinating open-air theater spectacle that will lead visitors through the city's streets and places. This staging, which is directed by Kay Kuntze, newly presents the ancient Orpheus motif and combines scenic representations with musical highlights that range from the music history from early baroque to modern presence. It will be interesting to see which emotional journey the audience is expecting.

The Orpheus myth tells of a man whose singing even soothes the wildest animals and impresses the hell prince. This classic story, which became popular as a subject for the newly created genus opera in the 17th century, is now alive as a station theater. In various places, including a farm and the kitchen garden, the audience is invited to accompany Orpheus on its emotional journey - from high -altitude flights to happiness to the depths of mourning. "The path of the Orpheus" not only combines different theater skills, but also addresses universal human challenges such as courage, doubt and the transience of existence.
