Nationaltheater Mannheim Roadshow 2024
Roadshow, Platform Members
The Mannheim Sommer is a European festival for Music and Theatre organised by the Mannheim National Theatre. It is a biennial cultural event that celebrates a wide range of musical and theatrical performances. The festival's program is diverse, spanning genres from classical music by composers like Mozart to contemporary pop, and features performances in various locations, including the historic Schwetzingen Castle, Mannheim's summer residence. The events cater to different tastes and settings, from elegant garden parties to vibrant nightclubs, and from sophisticated opera productions to innovative music machine exhibitions. The festival provides a rich cultural experience, highlighting both local and international talents.
After two editions that were restricted due to the pandemic, this year's "Mannheim Summer" is dedicated to life and art: the Nationaltheater Mannheim puts the "festival" at the centre of its rich programme. The Mannheim National Theatre shows that every concert, every opera, every performance retains an element of this origin. The spirit of the festival between nature and culture is impressively immortalised in a palace complex such as Schwetzingen.
The festival will start off with a new production of Mozart's Da Ponte opera "Don Giovanni" directed by Alexander Mork-Eidem in the Schwetzingen Palace Theatre. Other highlights include "Landscape Music", a musical parcours with concerts in the Schwetzingen Palace Gardens ranging from instrumental music to string quartets and wind canzonas to harp sounds, and "RE-CREATION" with Konstantin Gropper, Ziggy Has Ardeur, Sebastian Schwab and the National Theatre Orchestra on the open-air stage in the Palace Gardens, which ranges from classical overtures to film music sounds and Gropper's casual baritone.
