Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Book tickets well in advance, as popular shows often sell out quickly, especially those around Christmas.
- Arrive at least one hour before evening shows and 30 minutes before matinees to allow ample time for entry and to enjoy the pre-show atmosphere.
- Check the specific show details for duration and intermission times, as they vary, with 'Ox & Esel' being a shorter, intermission-free performance.
- Consider the 'Wintertheater-Menü' offered in cooperation with Vielharmonie for a special dining experience before your show.
- Dress warmly, as while the tent is heated, the pre-show area and arrival might be cooler. Comfortable seating is provided.
