Siegburg open-air games

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Siegburger Freilichtspiele was a theater festival in Siegburg .

In 2004 the Siegburg open-air theater was launched on the Michaelsberg in Siegburg in the courtyard of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Michael . The initiator was Jörg Kaehler . He had to do without subsidies. The company was essentially self-sustaining through the tickets it sold. The pieces that Kaehler brought out were full of people and the furnishings were opulent. Works by Hofmannsthal, Goethe, Rostand, Shakespeare and Goldoni were played. All plays were staged by Kaehler, who also appeared as an actor, for example as old Faust or as brother Lorenzo in "Romeo and Juliet". After 2010 the games had to end because the monastery dissolved.
