    The Rococo Theater is well worth seeing even when there is no performance. Tours of the theater are occasionally offered, which you should of course take advantage of by running in the castle park. The theater is still used today. Unfortunately, also for “modern” productions like the Nebuchadnezzar opera by Reinhard Keizer with scenes of two kneeling slaves and waterboarding right at the beginning (101/2024). Something like that is inappropriate and very memorable for the historical location.

    The rococo theater with its organic floors and rows of chairs is always worth a visit just because of the location, and if you like the program it's pure joy.

    I love the ambiance and all the energy there. I feel connected to the great musicians and have the feeling that the vibrations of the music can be felt even in the silence. I experience synchronicity there with my inner state and love coming back there again and again. 🙏Thank you very much to everyone who keeps it going today and enriches people.

    You shouldn't miss a guided tour of the Rococo Theater in Schwetzingen Castle. Interesting and informative and you can also see behind the scenes. Really worth seeing...

    Das Schlosstheater allein ist schon ein Augenschmaus- wird es dann noch mit so ausgezeichneten Veranstaltungen wie dem "Hohelied der Liebe" in Vertonungen von Bach, Monteverdi, Händel... gefüllt, können Freund*innen der Barockmusik nur eines: dahinschmelzen, in den Tönen baden... Danke schön für den außergewöhnlichen Kunstgenuss in diesem ästhetisch passenden Rahmen und damit für den glücklichen Abend!

    A very nice, small theater with a wonderful interior design. - In the foyer there are drinks, pretzels and small sandwiches. The service works very well.

    Beautiful Rococo theater in a huge castle park. If you are nearby, you should plan your time and perhaps see some nice performances and enjoy Dempsey.

    Incredibly pretty little rococo theater that has been lovingly renovated. The quality of the performance and the singers (cosi van tutte) was top notch!

    The castle theater is definitely worth a visit. It is impressive to feel and experience the spirit of the past era. The atmosphere is in the foreground. There aren't really any special or extravagant/technical gadgets on stage or sound. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely take a look at the castle garden and enjoy it!!!

    (Translated by Google) Again and again the finest baroque operas. It is always a treat and a pleasure to go here. (Original) Immer wieder barocke Opern vom Feinsten. Es ist immer ein Genuss und eine Freude, hier hin zu gehen.

    Sehr, sehr schön! Ein gelungener Abend mit der Jungen Oper BW. Ein schnuckeliges, süsses Barocktheater. Leider an manchen Plätzen in den 2.Reihen der Logen so gut wie keine Sicht und durch Trennwände auch nur eingeschränkte Akkustik. Man sollte sich überlegen, für diese Plätze keine Karten anzubieten. Die improvisierte Aufführung der La Traviata wegen Krankheitsausfall war anfangs gewöhnungsbedürftig aber gut gelöst, anstatt die Aufführung ausfallen zu lassen. CHAPEAU für die Produktionsassistentin, für ihren Mut auf die Bühne zu gehen und den schauspielerischen Part zu übernehmen. Und die Sopranistin von der Seite im Sitzen mit Hexenschuss......wie gut singt sie erst, wenn sie gesund ist?! Hat uns gut gefallen, sehr gerne wieder. (Translated by Google) Very very nice! A successful evening with the Junge Oper BW. A cute, sweet baroque theater. Unfortunately, in some places in the 2nd rows of the boxes, there was almost no view and the acoustics were limited due to partition walls. One should consider not offering tickets for these places. The improvised performance of La Traviata due to illness took some getting used to at first, but was well resolved instead of skipping the performance. CHAPEAU to the production assistant for her courage to go on stage and take on the acting part. And the soprano from the side while sitting with lumbago......how well does she sing when she's healthy?! We liked it, we'd love to come back.

    (Translated by Google) Nice little theatre. I liked it. The only thing I didn't like was the acoustics of the soul concert. But it may be that this was related to the sound reinforcement and the placement of the systems. I think it's quite different at a classical concert with an orchestra... (Original) Schönes, kleines Theater. Hat mir gefallen.Einzig die Akustik des Soul Konzertes fand ich nicht ganz optimal. Kann aber sein, das das mit der Beschallung und der Platzierung der Systeme in Verbindung stand.Ich denke bei einem klassischen Konzert mit einem Orchester sieht das schon ganz anders aus...

    On Sunday to the concert, a lovely evening. In the past we have often had entertaining hours in this beautiful old theater.

👍👍 The super-inspired work is an attraction for all tourists who come to Schwetzingen. First to take a picture with the asparagus seller and then to admire it from the nearby terrace where you can quietly enjoy a beer looking at passers-by.
