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.

Faust I - 2 Aug
»Two souls dwell, oh! in my breast« – with these words Goethe’s Faust describes not only a personal drama, but an experience of modern subjectivity: the ego manifests itself as a texture of contradictory forces. Goethe’s drama presents modern man as driven by a principle of continuous escalation – caught between self-control, consumerism and destruction. Ulrich Rasche presents these events as an interiorised chamber play. Its characters embody the forces of a conflicted consciousness; Mephisto becomes a dark shadow of the protagonist himself.
