Bautzen (dpa / sn) - The Bautzen theater summer is being extended, the piece shown is shorter: After the open-air spectacle was canceled due to the corona pandemic last year, the German-Sorbian People's Theater is planning the premiere for the production of "Sherlock Holmes" in this Playtime.
«I'm currently working on the piece.
We play the first part without a break with fewer actors.
It will still be opulent with live music and a band, ”said director and director Lutz Hillmann of the German Press Agency.
A seating capacity for 500 spectators is planned so that the audience can keep their distance.
In addition, a weekend will be played longer than previously planned - from June 24th to August 8th.
Advance ticket sales are scheduled to begin in May.
The first Bautzen theater summer took place in 1996 in the courtyard of the Bautzen Ortenburg.
Ten performances of the “Volksstück by Johannes Karasek called the horror of Upper Lusatia” were shown in the open air.
The most successful productions were the Coups of the Olsen Gang in the summer of 2016, 2017 and 2018 in the open air.
In the past few years, around 30,000 spectators have visited the summer theater in Bautzen's old town.
