Shows with English Surtitles
The Residenztheater produces performances in German only – however, some of these are shown with English surtitles. Please indicate at the box office whether you would like a seat with surtitles visible when purchasing a ticket. You can also buy your ticket online. For the best view of the surtitles in the Residenztheater, we recommend the seats in the stalls from row 10 to row 16, especially in the middle. The seats in the central section of the «Balkon» and in every row of the «Rang» are also recommended.

Maria Stuart - 08 Nov
Intrigues, conspiracies, political intrigues - Schiller's tragedy depicts the power struggle between the English Queen Elizabeth I and the Scottish Queen Mary Stuart. But what if only chance decides between power and powerlessness? Then the roles could also be «swapped». For each performance, a draw is held to decide which of the two actresses will play the victor or the vanquished.

Moby Dick - 09 Nov
Ishmael signs on to the «Pequod», an old whaler. However, it soon becomes clear that the aim of the voyage is not just to exploit the world's oceans and their giant marine mammals, but Captain Ahab's personal vendetta. Melville's «Moby Dick» - brought to the stage by Stefan Pucher - is both an adventurous sailor's yarn and a reflection on the fatal art of seduction of a demagogue.
