With Erhard Dietl: Hurra, die Olchis kommen, adapted by Sonja Soydan, © Performance rights: Bühnenverlag Weitendorf, Hamburg, we bring a true classic to the Klosterhof Langenzenn: The green garbage lovers from Schmuddelfing have been delighting children and families for over 30 years and have long since conquered theater and film stages. The outdoor version is excellent for our Klosterhof. We are very happy to have received the performance rights. The 14-member children's ensemble is already eagerly practicing.

Content-wise, this time the Olchis are going on holiday: The Olchis travel to Gammelsberg – a place that is even dirtier than Schmuddelfing. While the residents carelessly leave their trash everywhere, the Olchis are delighted. Quite differently, the mayor wants to finally solve the garbage problem and asks Professor Brausewein for help. With her newly developed time machine, she dares to take a look into the future – hoping to find a solution there. Of course, the Olchis do not want to miss out on this adventure. After a small incident that leads them to ancient Rome, they eventually come up with an unusual yet tasty idea for waste recycling.

The production is entertaining, enjoyable, and due to the theme and textual demands, suitable for children from about 6 years onwards. The duration is approximately 70 minutes.

Entrance: 17:30

Theater play for people aged 5 and above

The little witch simply wants to know. Secretly, she sneaks to the Blocksberg and celebrates the wild Walpurgis Night with the big witches. This is strictly forbidden for her; she is much too young and inexperienced for it. As it must, she gets discovered.

The punishment: she must prove that she can become a good witch. Together with her raven, she performs true wonders and manages to become a really good witch. Her big dream must definitely come true – at the next Walpurgis Night, the old witches should finally accept her into their witch circle.

But then things turn out differently, very differently. The question arises whether a really good witch is truly good if she is good to everyone. Must a good witch not be truly wicked?

The performances of this wonderful story will provide the answer. It will be a grand theater adventure for the whole family, and one thing is already certain: The little witch enchants the world and all of us, making us really happy. That’s promised!

Play based on the novella of the same name

Adaptation for the Kreuzgangspiele by Johannes Kaetzler.

In the villas and houses along the shores of a coastal bay, fascinating worlds of life unfold. A fabulously wealthy young man stands at the center of the action: Jay Gatsby. He is mysterious and the subject of wild rumors. Why does no one get close to him?

Not far away, a young athletic couple resides in an elegant villa by the beach. Are they really as likable as they present themselves? In between, there is a tiny house with a young resident who is trying to get rich through stock trading. Is he as friendly as he seems? And what about the attractive woman who is married to a car dealer?

Fate brings all these people together. In a dizzying series of events, their secrets are revealed, and a gigantic panorama of human passions unfolds.

The staging of the famous novel material on the Kreuzgang stage ignites a theatrical fireworks display about the wild twenties of the last century with much music and very big emotions.

Entry: 20:00 Uhr

A theater project for people aged 13 and over

It is a drama of special kind when reality becomes unreal and the unreal becomes real.

A terrible sandman is haunting and sprinkling sand in our eyes to force us into sleep with horrifying dreams. Is it just a dream or is it really happening? The young student Nathanael sees his reality blurring. He experiences the incredible: dark figures haunt him, he burns with love for a strange apparition, an artificial being full of beauty and emptiness – Olimpia.

Will the young student find his way out of the artificial worlds back into the clarity of reality? Or will he remain caught up in the magical imagery of madness?

The staging of this profoundly romantic tale from 1816 poses questions that concern us all today. How do we deal with the seductive images of artificial intelligence, what happens to us when we lose ourselves in simulated worlds and our grasp on the truths of reality slips away?

The theater project is a collaboration between the Kreuzgangspiele and the Free Acting School in Hamburg.

Doors open: 7:30 PM

The castle with a lot to offer: "HerrschaftsZeiten! Erlebnis Cadolzburg" from June 24, 2017 at the Cadolzburg - the new highlight of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region

A powerful castle - the setting of the illustrious history of a ruling family that has achieved great success: this was and is the Cadolzburg. The rulers were the Hohenzollern family, who ruled over Franken and later Brandenburg, also gaining electoral dignity in the 15th century. Later on, they even became Prussian kings and German emperors.

The Cadolzburg derives its radiance not only from its role as the starting point of a significant career in the Holy Roman Empire - the impressive structure itself reflects this golden era of the Hohenzollerns. The new museum "HerrschaftsZeiten! Erlebnis Cadolzburg" of the Bavarian Administration of State Castles will make this time - the late Middle Ages - exciting and informative for visitors through innovative communication concepts. While walking through the castle, visitors can learn not only about the architectural history, wars and peace, daily life, and governing tasks of the princely castle residents. There is much to discover here through interactive and sensory means:

Visitors can experience the castle through their sense of smell, there are tactile stations, sounds and dialogues, vivid models, and invitations to try things out. Exciting or challenging games, medieval Hohenzollerns in their own words, and the jester Contz who guides visitors through the castle bring the Middle Ages to life. Visitors can also expect to see several original medieval artifacts such as swords, maces, or a magnificent treasure chest. Other objects were specially crafted for the museum based on extensive research in historical techniques, such as the gilded armor of the famous General Albrecht Achilles, or textiles dyed according to original recipes. The Bavarian Administration of State Castles also made significant contributions to experimental historical research, like creating a breastplate from boiled leather, in line with the ambition of creating one of Germany's most important castle museums.

The cultural communication of the Bavarian Administration of State Castles also offers a diverse program of accompanying events, making this exciting history even more intriguing - for the young nobleman as well as the castle enthusiast.

Not only the Middle Ages but also the Cadolzburg itself now comes back to life. After the extensive damage of World War II, original medieval rooms and successful architectural creations of the 21st century can now be experienced. The modern buildings completed in 2017 bridge the medieval era with our present time.

You can expect very special experiences here - it truly is THE CASTLE WITH A LOT TO OFFER.

In the nursing home, it has become quiet. Too quiet.
But when Mr. Münchhausen takes the floor, the afternoon coffee suddenly turns into a journey on cannonballs, across lunar landscapes, and through the belly of a whale. Amidst yellowed photos, old armchairs, and forgotten memories, an adventure begins that really only requires one thing: imagination.

In this new version of “Abenteuer des Baronen Münchhausen,” two people meet at the borderline of memory and invention – one perhaps an old charlatan, the other perhaps his last listener.
What is true, what is imagined? And does it even matter when the stories are stronger than reality?

A humorous, touching two-person play about storytelling, aging, and the inexhaustible power of the imaginary.

by Yevgeny Schwartz based on the novel by Miguel de Cervantes, translated by Günter Jäniche

The play based on the eponymous novel Don Quijote by Miguel de Cervantes is world literature that tells in a heartfelt, comical, and partly tragic way about a man who loses sight of reality and escapes into fiction. Accompanied by his loyal friend and servant Sancho, the titular protagonist sets out to perform heroic deeds and make the world a better place. Along the way, he often fails not only due to his own shortcomings but also because of a harsh and cold reality that feels like the proverbial fight against windmills. Don Quijote is humorous, epic, and raises the question: Who still needs wandering knights in our time?

So who needs knights, what is worth fighting for, and what constitutes reality? The summer theater play tells this story with a cast as fantastic as the adventures of the knights of La Mancha. In the summer theater play Don Quijote, the city ensemble and the theater ensemble bring together all generations on stage, while the concentrated joy of playing from the city unites in a piece about kindness, naivety, and reality.

Adaptation for the Kreuzgang Plays by Achim Conrad.

A young couple is to be married profitably. The bride was already promised to another, but he has passed away. However, suddenly the thought-to-be-dead man reappears, and everything gets thrown into chaos. In the midst of it all stands a servant, who is always hungry and believes he is earning far too little. Therefore, he secretly accepts the offer to serve a second master. To manage this, the servant piles lie upon lie – but at least he has enough to eat. Furthermore, one of the masters of the servant is not a man, but a disguised woman. And her lover happens to be the other master of the servant. This other master is on the run, as he is accused of a murder he did not commit. This could end very badly, but it doesn’t. On the contrary. Love conquers all. And the servant is forgiven everything.

The staging of the world-famous and refreshingly youthful comedy from 1746 conjures up a grand theatrical delight on the Kreuzgang stage and simultaneously creates a love drama that touches us deeply.

Doors open: 20:00 Uhr

With a festive concert program, the ensemble Sonat Vox and the Ansbach Chamber Orchestra dedicate themselves to the sound world of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Fanny Hensel, Johann Adolf Hasse, and Joseph Haydn. In the special atmosphere of St. Johannis, romantic choral music, festive works for choir and orchestra, as well as impressive sacred music between intimacy and great sonority will be heard.

At the center of the evening are selected works by Mendelssohn and Fanny Hensel, whose music combines emotional depth, transparency, and festive brilliance. The program is complemented by baroque and classical Te Deum settings by Johann Adolf Hasse and Joseph Haydn. This creates a varied concert evening that connects different eras of sacred choral music while also making rarely heard works accessible.

Performing will be Sonat Vox together with the Ansbach Chamber Orchestra and renowned soloists under the musical direction of Justus Merkel.

A concert full of musical brilliance, fine sound culture, and moving choral music.
