ENGLISH SURTITLES
The filter below allows you to search specifically for all performances 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 «Parkett» 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.

Der gestiefelte Kater (Puss in Boots) - 19 Feb
Ludwig Tieck was way ahead of his time with his masterpiece written in 1797: in his hands the fairy tale of a puss in boots becomes an absurd and comic »play within a play« that leaps joyously across the borders of theatre and reality.

Die Perser (The Persians) - 26 Feb
Xerxes, ruler of the vast Persian empire, plans to conquer Greece. He goes into battle in 480 BCE with a vastly superior force of ships and warriors. However, an act of military cunning robs him of victory. Almost three hundred thousand men from his army are killed. Eight years later, Aeschylus, who had fought on the side of the victorious Athenians, decides to present the events from the point of view of the defeated. In »The Persians« he has written not only the oldest surviving tragedy in world literature but a plea for humanity that is still acutely relevant – even after 2,500 years.
