The world premiere of Rummelplatz at Chemnitz Opera has drawn widespread acclaim since its debut in September. Based on Werner Bräunig's novel, the opera has sold out every performance, attracting both local audiences and national critics.

Award in the 'Best Festival' category, with the jury highlighting Chemnitz Theater's skill in transforming world literature into a triumph.
The production's popularity has been undeniable. Since opening, every show has sold out, prompting organisers to add more performances. Additional dates are now scheduled for the 2026/2027 season to meet ongoing demand.
The opera's success confirms its place as a standout production in Chemnitz. With sold-out performances and critical praise, it has firmly established itself in Germany's cultural scene. Future shows will give even more audiences the chance to experience this celebrated work.
