A romantic opera evening under the open sky at the Braunschweig Castle Square

With Carl Maria von Weber's The Marksman, a key work of German romanticism returns to a stage that is made for great emotions, dark premonitions, and luminous soundscapes. The Staatstheater Braunschweig is opening the 2026/27 season with this open-air production at the Castle Square – in an atmosphere that combines opera tradition, summer air, and urban space into a special stage experience. The production is scheduled from August 22 to September 9, 2026, with the performance on August 26, 2026, starting at 7:30 PM.

As the Wolf's Glen tilts into the night

Weber's opera tells the story of Max, Agathe, Kaspar, and the fateful pact over the free bullets: a tale of examination anxiety, seduction, superstition, and redemption, which has been considered the epitome of romantic opera since its premiere in 1821. This is precisely where the theatrical power of the work lies: natural sound, choral effect, and demonic shadow music make one scene after another wobble between idyllic and abyss. The open-air situation in Braunschweig is likely to enhance this tension, as sky, architecture, and music react directly to one another.

Stage space, sound, and audience reaction

The Staatstheater Braunschweig is collaborating in this production with the State Orchestra of Braunschweig in a venue that is predestined for large casts and strong imagery. The house has 896 seats, making the dimension of the musical stage experience tangible. For visitors, this creates a theater atmosphere where choral sounds, vast spaces, and summer evening air do not cover each other but rather charge each other. The Marksman is precisely the type of opera material that thrives on concentrated dramaturgy and precise direction. ([miz.org](https://miz.org/de/institutionen/staatstheater-braunschweig-i8369))
