The Lessing Theater in Wolfenbüttel is a theater opened in 1909 and operated by the city of Wolfenbüttel as a guest performance venue.

In the residential city of Wolfenbüttel, Germany's first permanent venue with a fixed ensemble, the Theater of Schloss Wolfenbüttel, was founded in 1592.

Planned by the Brunswick architect Otto Rasche, the theater was built using reinforced concrete construction. The inauguration of the house, designed in the Art Nouveau and Neoclassical styles, took place on September 25, 1909, after four years of planning and only one year of construction, with the performance of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's Nathan the Wise. The Lessing Theater and the city of Wolfenbüttel survived the two world wars undamaged.

The theater only received its current name in 1929; until then, it was called the City Theater. Operating as a repertory theater, the Lessing Theater did not have its own ensemble and regularly hosted guest performances with varying programs. Until its closure in 2007, it was a venue for about 90 events per year and accommodated up to 699 guests.

The theater was reopened at the end of May 2013 and is designed for approximately 170 events per year.

Stimmflut – Das A-cappella-Event - Viva Voce | Free Vocals | Niniwe
3/21/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Stimmflut – Das A-cappella-Event
Viva Voce | Free Vocals | Niniwe

In the best tradition, Viva Voce invites you to a night of voices. For one evening of concerts, they, together with Free Vocals and a surprise guest, will ensure thunderous applause and a true flood of happiness.

The A-cappella grandmasters Viva Voce from Franconia have been performing concerts worldwide for over 25 years now. Humor, charm, and a cappella singing at world-class level. David Lugert, Basti Hupfer, Heiko Benjes, and Andi Kuch will bring samples of their new show "Dito" to Wolfenbüttel in 2025.

Joining the Stimmflut tour are Free Vocals from Regensburg. The six singers Marco Illichmann, Lorenz Blattert, Florian Kerscher, Christopher Moritz, Philipp Röslmair, and Peter Lutz showcase the entire range of a cappella: From rock 'n' roll with 50s charm, 80s disco beat with sing-along factor, to electronic dance music with booming basses, everything is included.

Vocal music at the highest level is promised by the energetic ensemble Niniwe, which, with its innovative and artistic arrangements, makes unheard sound worlds audible in the a cappella scene. Four female voices give the songs of Sting a new sound full of sensuality and depth.

Wir holen uns die Nacht zurück - Nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Nora Hoch
3/25/2025 at 11:00 AM / Wolfenbüttel

We Take Back the Night
Based on the novel of the same name by Nora Hoch
Ages 14 and up

Kaja and IIvy, two girls like sisters. They grow up in the same house and experience first love, parties, and drugs. Their friendship is tested as Kaja slips further into the drug scene and IIvy's rescue attempts fail. When Kaja disappears from a party while high, Ilvy, together with her friend Kaan, sets out to find her. This search reveals a life IIvy knew nothing about.

"We Take Back the Night" is a road movie, wild, anarchic, and against all rules. It deals with drug addiction, codependency, and loyalty in a friendship: How can one protect a loved one without losing oneself in the process? Can you save someone who does not want to be saved?

Founded in 1987 as a free theater group, Theater Strahl has established itself over the past 35 years as one of the leading stages for contemporary and challenging theater for young audiences. The ensemble performs throughout Germany and internationally, participates in children's and youth theater festivals, and is regularly nominated for and awarded theater prizes.

Anna Mateur & The Beuys - Kaoshüter
3/26/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Anna Mateur & The Beuys
Kaoshüter
Winner of the German Kleinkunstpreis and the German Kabarettpreis

Times change, but crises persist. There are still more order guards than "chaos guards," which is why Anna continues to guard the "chaos." What she will bring to the stage remains uncertain. One thing is certain, however - there will be everything except a bouquet of colorful melodies. And for the right groove, Frau Mateur surrounds herself only with the best musicians: Samuel Halscheidt and Kim Efert on guitars.

Anna Mateur is this magnificent, miraculous presence who, with her fabulous vocal volume and the abyssal comical wit-seriousness, overshadows everything that tries to assert itself here as major art, minor art, side or in-between art. Anna Mateur is special art.

"Anna shows an incorruptible political stance that is directed against petty-bourgeois, nationalist, and other brazenly foolish sentiments. She is an extraordinary artist, a tragicomic anti-diva with fascinating female power, who, with her sensitive, sometimes brutally ironic art, certainly does not only make friends in conservative circles." (Prof. Kerstin Hensel, laudation for the sponsorship award of the Lessing Prize of the Free State of Saxony 2021)

Unendliche Sterne - Eine musikalische Spurensuche von Linda Riebau
3/27/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Unendliche Sterne

Eine musikalische Spurensuche von Linda Riebau

Ein Theaterabend prall gefüllt mit Emotionen und überraschenden Geschichten.

Sie alle waren erfolgreich, schön, charismatisch, besonders. Amy Winehouse ist nur das jüngste Beispiel einer Reihe wegweisender Ausnahmekünstlerinnen, die das Rampenlicht gleichzeitig liebten und hassten – und an ihrem Ruhm und ihren Exzessen tragisch zerbrochen sind: Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Billie Holiday oder auch Whitney Houston.

Sie alle liebten, wie sie sangen – voller Sehnsucht und Schmerz. Sie erlebten Höhenflüge und tiefe Abstürze, suchten Halt bei den falschen Männern – und waren immer einsam, auch wenn sie nie alleine waren. Sie lebten mit allen Fasern ihres Körpers und vergaßen dabei das Wichtigste: die Liebe zu sich selbst.

Die Schauspielerin Linda Riebau setzt mit ihrem Stück »Unendliche Sterne« besonderen Frauen ein Denkmal und begibt sich auf musikalische Spurensuche. Zwischen den großen Songs, die untrennbar mit den Künstlerinnen verbunden sind, wirft der Theaterabend Schlaglichter auf ihre Lebensgeschichten. Glitzernd und berauschend, dann wieder berührend und erschreckend, werden die Abgründe einer nur scheinbar glamourösen Welt sichtbar.

3/28/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Welcome to a very ordinary general practitioner's office. The waiting room is bursting at the seams, the medical assistant Natia is ready to go, and Doctor Frauke arrives at work already quite stressed as usual.

Just as Dr. Annegret Kern is about to start her consultation, water starts dripping from the ceiling. A water damage in the consultation room. Dr. Kern keeps her patients entertained in the waiting room and begins to narrate her daily work routine filled with consultations, emergency services, further education, pharmaceutical consultations, and paperwork. Along the way, cracks in the health care system become apparent.

Heike Feist transforms the theater hall into a waiting room in a spectacular triple role. With heart and a sharp eye, she satirizes the relationship between doctors, patients, and even takes a dig at the pharmaceutical industry and health insurance companies. And over the course of this equally captivating and informative theater evening, a doctor, whom we think we know based on many stereotypes, becomes a doctor we all wish to have.

Marie-Antoinette oder Kuchen für alle! - Ein wildes, brüllend komisches Theaterstück und eine bitterböse Warnung an die Gegenwart
3/29/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Marie-Antoinette or Cake for Everyone!
A wild, roaringly funny play and a bitterly dark warning to the present
By Peter Jordan, revised and supplemented by Leonhard Koppelmann

In Paris, there is revolution, while in the Palace of Versailles, discontent reigns: While the people outside are raging, inside Marie-Antoinette and her husband King Louis XVI have been awaiting their announced execution for fifteen years. But then and now the same problems persist: bureaucracy, intrigues, and power struggles at all levels. One simply cannot work like this.

And then this Napoleon appears. When the ice is out and the champagne is warm, Marie-Antoinette has had enough. This really goes too far.

Located between Monty Python and Quentin Tarantino, between slapstick, screwball comedy, and lavish historical drama, Peter Jordan has written a seriously turbulent comedy that sheds new light on familiar things and shoots bitter arrows of time into our present. A celebration for four actresses and actors who rapidly switch attitudes and identities.

"Plenty of slapstick, an absurd Louis-de-Funès interlude, and some chansons turn the evening into a theatrical celebration." (Berliner Zeitung)

Direction: Leonhard Koppelmann, Peter Jordan
Music: Philipp Haagen
Set design: Barbara Aigner, Stefanie Bruhn
Cast: Isabell Giebeler, Nils Hohenhövel, Klaus Christian Schreiber, Anna Thalbach

Poets of Migration - Abgründig und anregend, herzzerreißend und komisch.
4/4/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Poets of Migration
Abgründig und anregend, herzzerreißend und komisch.

In every migration lies a utopia, a plunge into the unknown. The group "Poets of Migration" seeks the experiment, the change of meanings. The stage show with texts, images, video clips, and music takes the audience on a journey – through a world of fluid identities.

The literature project "Poets of Migration" was founded by Wolf Farkas, Ok-Hee Jeong, and Zoran Terzić in 2019 in Berlin. In their stage shows, they juggle with new diversities until something familiar or crazy emerges at the end. Shaking the roots until they become the future.

Wolf Farkas, author, journalist, cultural organizer, and staff member at Humboldt University. Ok-Hee Jeong, author, translator, journalist, and filmmaker, lives and works in Berlin. She studied art and Korean studies. Zoran Terzić studied fine arts in New York and has been working as an author, stage performer, and jazz pianist in Berlin since 2001.

"A unique symbiosis of texts, sounds, images, and moods. With a varied performance, the quartet effortlessly captures the audience's attention." (Christine Schirmer, Unsere Zeitung)

Operettengala - Große Melodien aus der Welt der Operette
4/5/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Operetta Gala
Great Melodies from the World of Operetta

The best of the operetta world makes this evening as warm as the Berliner Schnauze, cheeky as Offenbach's humor, and charming as the Viennese way. Musically, noble beauties, descending politicians, love-struck gods, merry widows, jolly farmers, cheeky servants, and almost normal people come along. This illustrious bunch of colorful characters hits the sore points of human existence with their wit and chirps the most beautiful melodies.

The operetta gala with the Harzer Sinfoniker has gained a large fan base. This is mainly due to the diverse program that Music Director Johannes Rieger compiles anew each year. The program includes both well-known and lesser-known pieces, which he charmingly moderates with great knowledge and passionately conducts.

Johannes Rieger, music director since 2005 and artistic director of the Harztheater since 2009, studied at the State University of Music in Munich. He was the permanent conductor of the Ensemble for New Music European Music Project and led numerous radio and CD recordings. Guest engagements have taken him to many German theaters and orchestras.

Das tapfere Schneiderlein - Ein inszeniertes Märchenkonzert nach den Brüdern Grimm
4/24/2025 at 4:00 PM / Wolfenbüttel

The Brave Little Tailor
A staged fairy tale concert based on the Brothers Grimm
Ages 5 and up

The stage is simple. Chairs are placed on small platforms, music stands in front of them. The classical concert begins. But before the intro is over and the tale of the brave little tailor can musically gain momentum, noises mix into the music and before the presenter knows it, the fairy tale concert transforms into a play right before her eyes:

An unknown person pretends to be the real little tailor and from then on, the story takes a new direction. After all, the basic assumption that he killed seven flies at one stroke is already wrong. Yes, he did kill seven flies at one stroke. But the good little tailor certainly did not kill them, but rather swallowed them. And so, the flies become constant companions and advisors for the little tailor.

Bass flutes bring giants to life, recorders and jingles transform the simple stage into a royal court, and the bass clarinet becomes a sonorous wild boar. Thus, the well-known fairy tale becomes a virtuoso musical appeal to rediscover one's own gut feelings.

Director: Sinem Altan

Ages 5 and up

The stage is simple. Chairs are placed on small podiums, with music stands in front of them. The classical concert begins. But before the intro is finished and the tale of the brave little tailor can musically pick up pace, noises mix into the music, and before the host realizes it, the fairy tale concert in front of her eyes turns into a play:

An unknown person pretends to be the real tailor and from then on gives the narrative a new direction. After all, it is wrong from the start to assume that he killed seven flies with one blow. Yes, seven flies with one blow. But the good tailor surely did not kill them, but swallowed them. And so, the flies become a constant companion and advisor for the tailor.

Bass flutes bring giants to life, recorders and jingles transform the simple stage into a royal court, and the bass clarinet becomes a melodious wild boar. Thus, the well-known fairy tale becomes a virtuoso musical plea for rediscovering one's own gut feeling.

StandUp Deluxe: Nektarios Vlachopoulos - 60 Minuten pure Unterhaltung | Support: Kai Bosch
4/26/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

StandUp Deluxe: Nektarios Vlachopoulos
60 minutes of pure entertainment | Support: Kai Bosch

Nektarios Vlachopoulos is probably the best person in the world because he likes honesty, peace, and that everyone likes him. The incredible power of self-irony allows him to effortlessly accept all obstacles and makes him immune to reason and maturity. This nearly invincible superhero knows only one weakness: his panic fear of conflicts. Moreover, he is emotionally fragile, has a variety of allergies, and regularly fails at the basic demands of his own life.

However, he knows language. Nektarios masters the entire keyboard of silliness from Ringelnatz to penis jokes, uses the prefix "bums-" to enhance adjectives, and surprises not least himself time and again with finely honed rhetoric and bum-smart thoughts. A real gangster who has never been in a fight.

The support act is Kai Bosch, who skillfully juggles with words and thoughts on the topic of inclusion, as it concerns us all.

"StandUp Deluxe" is a new format on the studio stage of the Lessing Theater. An intimate setting with a maximum of 100 spectators and 60 minutes of pure stand-up.

Das Alles Archiv - oder der Dominoeffekt der Dinge
4/28/2025 at 9:00 AM / Wolfenbüttel

The Everything Archive
or the Domino Effect of Things
Ages 10 and up

In the "Everything Archive," everything that can be lost, preserved, forgotten, or found is stored. And everything inside it stands side by side on an equal footing. Some things we know the backstory of, while for others, we have to imagine it: Have you ever wondered why single shoes lie on the roadside? Or how many types of tears there are, why shopping is so much fun, and why we always want more and more?

Three actors search the archive in search of how we give value and meaning to things. They invent stories, explore with their bodies, think with the audience, and ultimately ask themselves: What do I really need?

The production was nominated for the Cologne Dance and Theater Prize 2023.

Die Wanze - Ein Insektenkrimi nach dem gleichnamigen Buch von Paul Shipton
4/29/2025 at 9:00 AM / Wolfenbüttel

The Bug
A bug thriller based on the book of the same name by Paul Shipton
Ages 11 and up

"I am Muldoon, Bug Muldoon. I am a sleuth, a private detective, if you must know. Not only the best detective in the entire garden, but also the cheapest. Well, the only one you can hire. More precisely, the only one still alive."

Bug Muldoon is actually just a normal beetle, and how he got his name seems to be an endless story. In any case, he is – like many well-known figures in his profession – a bit shabby, quick-witted, and pretty cool. In his first case, he encounters unusual incidents in the ant colony, narrowly escapes a four-headed wasp killer commando, and almost falls into the deadly clutches of the feared spider.

"The Bug" is an exciting and humorous storytelling solo for young and old fans of crime stories. Entertainingly, themes such as preventing dictatorship and solidarity are addressed.

Spatz und Engel - Die Geschichte der ungewöhnlichen Freundschaft zwischen Edith Piaf und Marlene Dietrich
4/30/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Spatz und Engel
The story of the unusual friendship between Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich
Play with music by Daniel Große Boymann and Thomas Kahry

One comes from a Prussian officer family, the other is the child of a circus acrobat and a street singer. One grows up in a boarding school in Weimar, the other in a brothel in Normandy. One changes her men like her wardrobe, the other always dreams of true love. One dies at 91 and is the greatest star Germany has ever produced. The other barely reaches 47. When she dies, France goes into national mourning, with 40,000 people following her coffin.

Edith Piaf (1915 to 1963), the "little sparrow of Paris," and Marlene Dietrich (1901 to 1992), the "blue angel," meet in New York in 1948. From then on, both divas share an intense friendship that largely goes unnoticed by the public.

From their first meeting to Piaf's early death and Marlene's retreat to her Paris apartment, "Spatz und Engel" connects the story of these two world stars with their unforgettable chansons.

Spatz und Engel - Die Geschichte der ungewöhnlichen Freundschaft zwischen Edith Piaf und Marlene Dietrich
5/3/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Spatz und Engel
The story of the unusual friendship between Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich
Play with music by Daniel Große Boymann and Thomas Kahry

One comes from a Prussian officer family, the other is the child of a circus acrobat and a street singer. One grows up in a boarding school in Weimar, the other in a brothel in Normandy. One changes her men like her wardrobe, the other always dreams of true love. One dies at 91 and is the greatest star Germany has ever produced. The other barely reaches 47. When she dies, France goes into national mourning, with 40,000 people following her coffin.

Edith Piaf (1915 to 1963), the "little sparrow of Paris," and Marlene Dietrich (1901 to 1992), the "blue angel," meet in New York in 1948. From then on, both divas share an intense friendship that largely goes unnoticed by the public.

Matthias Brandt & Jens Thomas - Dämon
5/4/2025 at 6:00 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Matthias Brandt & Jens Thomas
Dämon
A word-music collage based on a story by Guy de Maupassant

A man begins to suffer under strange apparitions. He sees things, hears sounds that no one else perceives. He increasingly immerses himself in the idea that a terrible, unknown being is taking possession of him. The invisible becomes an obsession, until one day he comes to the realization: "I can no longer want, but someone wants for me."

"The Horla" (in the original French "Le Horla") is Maupassant's most famous fantastic novella, an early masterpiece of psychological horror literature.

Jens Thomas and Matthias Brandt connect here with their joint work in "Psycho" and use Maupassant's novella as the basis for their latest collaboration.

Matthias Brandt, born in Berlin in 1961, can be seen in many film and television roles. The award-winning actor has been experiencing unusual stage productions with Jens Thomas since 2013. Jens Thomas, born in Braunschweig in 1970, studied jazz piano at the Hamburg University of Music.

REDSHIFT – Tales of gaining power - Tanz- und Objekttheater-Performance
5/7/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

REDSHIFT – Tales of gaining power
Dance and Object Theatre Performance
SPOTTED – Network for Dance Guest Performances in Lower Saxony

We look into the bottomless abyss. Euphoria and fear, lightness and heaviness, conformity and transgression begin to grapple with each other: How deep is your fall height? How far can you go? What does power mean to you?

Alba Scharnhorst and Selina Glockner dedicate this dance and object theatre performance to the pursuit of power from a female perspective. With daring choreographies and fluid bodies, the performance invites you to shift your own perception of femininity, to experience female power in its fragility as well as brutality, and to indulge in societal utopias and personal wish dreams.

Especially influential, non-conforming female bodies have been subject to a centuries-old practice of (convicting) judgement: Witches were persecuted, prima ballerinas were idealized, nymphs sexualized, sirens feared, and princesses glorified. But what happens when we take the foundation from all these narratives and begin to perceive female presence in a new light?

The second guest performance within the framework of the network for dance guest performances in Lower Saxony – "SPOTTED" – to which the Lessing Theatre now also belongs.

Café del Mundo - Guitarize the World
5/8/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

Café del Mundo
Guitarize the World
The musical diversity of two flamenco guitars

Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian are Germany's most successful guitar export. With the incredible musical diversity of two flamenco guitars and a repertoire that weaves a fine line between classical and jazz, techno, and world music, the two award-winning virtuosos conquer their audience by storm.

It is their distinctive tone, their love for the authenticity of a Paco de Lucía, combined with the joy of modern pop music like Coldplay or U2, that makes these two concert artists unique. In dealing with the great music tradition from Bach to de Falla, "Café del Mundo" shows the highest sensitivity and powerful sovereignty.

Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian come from the Franconian-Badisch-Hessian tri-border region, which they lovingly call "Alemándalucía." They are as contrasting as fire and water - and complement each other precisely because of it. Their joint live performance is the captivating dialogue of two gifted guitarists who soon caress, soon challenge each other, and bring out the best in each other.

Line-up: Alexander Kilian, Jan Pascal

Die Bücherinsel - Nach dem Roman von Janne Mommsen
5/9/2025 at 7:30 PM / Wolfenbüttel

The Bookshelf
Based on the novel by Janne Mommsen
A tribute to reading

Do books make people happy? The members of a book club on a fictitious North Sea island love literature: from Irish novels, to horror stories, to high literature, the range is vast.

Even cleaning lady and beach chair rental woman Sandra Malien knows and loves novels. When she is accepted into the reading circle, she surprises the others with the text of an unknown Danish author who movingly describes the colors and landscapes of the North. Everyone is deeply touched. One day, Sandra Malien cleans the shelves of the bookstore and sorts the books back in by color. Everyone is sure: Sandra must actually be an artist. Especially since she knows the famous publisher Meinhard Gerke, who is expecting an American bestseller author on the island.

However, Sandra's behavior remains a mystery; she acts strangely and inconsistently. Gradually, her energetic facade begins to crack and reveals a huge problem that she has kept secret all her life and no one expected.

In 2022, he won the prestigious 11th International German Pianist Award and the Audience Award of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. With the Philharmonia Frankfurt by his side, he will present Rachmaninoff's enchanting Piano Concerto No. 2 to the audience.

The further concerts of the 55th Harzburger Musiktage – International Festival will take place in the Knights' Hall of the Bündheimer Schloss in Bad Harzburg.
