Dear audience,
Schauspiel Leipzig is taking its summer break from 21 June to 4 August. We look back with gratitude on an extraordinarily successful 2023/24 season: with almost 120,000 visitors and an occupancy rate of 81 per cent, more people attended our performances in the current season than ever before during Enrico Lübbe's directorship.
You can find out which premieres and repertoire pieces await you in the coming season in our season brochure or online. Tickets for all performances in August and September as well as numerous other dates are already available in advance. Our box office is closed during the break and will reopen regularly from 5 August. Tickets can be purchased in the webshop at any time.
We wish you a great summer and look forward to celebrating the premiere of our open-air production "Nosferatu" (directed by Katharina Ramser) with you on 15 August, marking the start of the 2024/25 season!
based on the silent film by F. W. Murnau and the novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker
Text and direction: Katharina Ramser
OPEN-AIR-THEATRE 2024 in the GRASSI courtyard
Premiere on 15 August / 8:00 pm / Grassimuseum
As Nosferatu, his terrifying shadow stretches across the silver screen and under the name Dracula, he gives his readers goosebumps page after page: the Count of Transylvania, the vampire. This summer, he awakens again in the inner courtyard of the Grassimuseum - along a new interpretation, we accompany his nocturnal foray lined with sharp teeth, gravestones and courageous opponents.

Breaking the Spell is a pilot step of the artistic research project that reflected practices of thinking-with and being-with in performing arts and researched spells as political and artistic practice.
The podcast is the invitation to join some of the Breaking the Spell exchanges. All four episodes, conceived by Zuzanna Berendt, Marta Keil and Anna Majewska, were created in collaboration with artists, artworkers and thinkers participating in the Breaking the Spell and with representatives of the communities in some of the localities where the project took place.

Some productions of Schauspiel Leipzig are made accessible to an international audience by means of English surtitles. Performance dates featuring surtitles are marked in the monthly programme brochure.
