DE Season 2026/27

Heidelberger Schlossfestspiele

The summer festival on the town’s most beautiful stages
6 June to 1 August 2027

Every summer, the Heidelberger Schlossfestspiele festival turns the world-famous castle grounds overlooking Heidelberg into a spectacular backdrop to open air experiences for all the senses. Enjoy festive concerts and impressive productions.

With »Der Freischütz«, the musical theatre & opera department is bringing a new production of one of the Romantic period’s eeriest and most beautiful operas to the stage. »Robin Hood« is an exciting adventure for the whole family, all about freedom, friendship and fairness. And the comedy »Das Sparschwein« delivers certain entertainment as a harmless trip to Paris goes haywire. Enjoy unforgettable evenings in a unique setting!

The full programme is available at the start of pre-sales on 15 January 2027.

Thank you to Stadtwerke Heidelberg and Volksbank Heidelberg-Neckartal for their generous support. Sponsored by Stadt Heidelberg.
