Conclusion, out. The Würzburg Theater ends the season. Now you check whether something is still possible while observing all requirements. Certainly never again in the big house.

General music director Enrico Calesso had hoped so much that he might still be able to present the “Rheingold” in early summer. Other productions were well advanced, but now comes the end: the season at the Würzburg Mainfranken Theater has ended.
Which also means in this case: In the Great House, as theatergoers have known it for decades, there will never be another performance. Because in the coming season, due to the extensive renovation of the theater, the major productions will move to the theater factory in the Blue Hall. The renovation of the Great House is scheduled to begin in August. Nationwide, several houses had already ended the season, among them the ETA Hoffmann Theater Bamberg and the Meininger State Theater.
In a press release by the Mainfranken Theater it now says: “In view of the ongoing pandemic-related restrictions and precautionary measures, the Mainfranken Theater will cease its regular play until the end of the current season.” The theater is thus ceasing to operate with immediate effect, in coordination with its sponsors and taking into account the ban on major events that continues until the end of August.
Subscribers can redeem their credit in the coming season
This eliminates all planned performances, events and concerts. In addition to the “Rheingold”, the premieres of the operas “Das Medium” and “I Capuleti ei Montecchi” were on the program, the plays “Pension Schöller” and “Wie Schuppen von den Augen” and the dance production “#mythos”, which took place on 8 July the season would have decided.
However, the theater wants to examine special formats that would also be feasible under the current safety and hygiene regulations in the next few weeks.
Director Markus Trabusch says: “We are working on concepts for how we can continue our artistic work, for example our rehearsals and dance training, under the current safety and hygiene regulations.” Other tasks in connection with the renovation would now be preferred. Dirk Terwey, Managing Director: “We are also now preparing our upcoming move out of our existing building.”
Single cards can be exchanged
Subscribers who would still have had performances and concerts in the 2019/20 season can redeem or have their credits credited in the next season. The validity of the TheaterCards is also extended. Subscribers and TheaterCard customers should be informed about this in the next few days. Single-ticket holders can exchange their tickets, the Mainfranken Theater shares.
Those who yearn for culture: The theater puts its virtual program on the Internet address mainfrankentheater.de/homestories away.
