Theater
What's on the program?
Please take a seat. On Usedom, performances are held for you in the red tent, the yellow tin shed, on the open-air stage, in the industrial monument, and in the island churches. The repertoire ranges from theater, cabaret, puppet shows, and fantasy spectacles to symphony concerts.
"Vineta" Revival Under the Open Sky
Every summer, the actors of the Vorpommersche Landesbühne bring the sunken city of Vineta to life. The Vineta Festival presents a fantastic theatrical show featuring music, dance, pyrotechnics, and a colorful laser show on the Zinnowitz Baltic Sea Stage. Join in the excitement as the people of Vineta and their adversaries engage in a fierce yet joyful battle for love, justice, and their city of Vineta.
A Tin Can and a Circus Tent Make for a Play
Throughout the year, the Gelbes Theater Blechbüchse in Zinnowitz presents a variety of theatrical productions, ranging from classics of world literature to contemporary plays. At premieres and performances, you’ll also encounter the local regular audience. From May through September, you can spend your evenings in the most entertaining way possible in Heringsdorf at the Chapeau Rouge theater tent. You’re sure to have a great time at the Schlossinselfestspiele in Wolgast as well.
Theatrical Classics Behind Church Walls
If you love classical theater of the highest artistic caliber, we highly recommend the “Klassik am Meer” theater series. For 25 years, the medieval fieldstone church in Koserow has opened its doors from July through September to showcase the finest in the art of theater. The productions feature a prominent cast of Berlin actors under the direction of Jürgen Kern and delight vacationers and islanders alike.
Music can be heard in every corner of the island
During the Usedom Music Festival , hotels, churches, and castles dating back to the Imperial era are transformed into atmospheric concert halls. With its exquisite programs and world-class artists, this three-week music festival is dedicated to the music of the neighboring countries along the Baltic Sea. The Peenemünde concerts, held at Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s largest industrial monument—the Peenemünde Power Plant—leave a lasting impression.
A Literary Treat
It’s not just bookworms who appreciate this highlight on Usedom’s calendar of events: With moderated readings and discussions, the Usedom Literature Days carry on the island’s literary tradition. Visitors have already had the opportunity to experience Nobel Prize in Literature laureates Olga Tokarczuk, Svetlana Alexievich, and Herta Müller among the authors. With the Usedom Literature Prize, the festival honors young writers who have made a special contribution to European dialogue.
