Theaterfest: Theater Dortmund

In the organizer's words:

This year we are celebrating the new 2024|25 season with a big, colorful theater festival for the curious, theater lovers and those who want to become one!

What's behind a production at Theater Dortmund? What happens not only on stage, but above all behind and next to it?

Under the season motto "made in Do", the departments open their doors exclusively and provide insights behind the scenes!
Take a look inside the huge Painters' Hall, admire our technical departments at their daily work and see how choir rehearsals or ballet dancer training takes place.

There is a lot to discover in the Opera House and the Schauspielhaus and there is also a lot going on outside on the forecourts! Artistic program points and a culinary offer invite young and old to linger and participate all day long.

The theater festival is free and offers a program from 12:00-18:00 in the indoor and outdoor areas of the opera and playhouse.

Things get festive in the evening: the artists get into the mood for the new season with the stage magic on the opera stage from 18:00.
