This marks the 41st season of this legendary event. And if you're wondering what else is in store, here are a few more must-see performances:

  1. "Hansel and Gretel": A fresh take on this classic fairy tale, featuring intriguing twists and turns.

  3. "Bunbury - To be serious is everything": A theatrical masterpiece by Oscar Wilde that's sure to have you laughing till it hurts.
  4. "Tschick": A thought-provoking stage adaptation of Wolfgang Herrndorf's influential novel, part of the "Junge Talente" series.

So, folks, come on down to Hanau tonight, ready to embrace the magical, timeless stories of the Brothers Grimm! The festivities go on till the end of the summer. And hey, if you're hard of hearing, fear not! The festival has a new induction system in place to make sure no one misses a beat.

But wait, what about the 2025 Grimm Festival, you ask? Well, let me tell ya, it was a real doozy! The festival opened with the musical "Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten", a live band performance of the classic tale that had everyone on their feet. Along with other fantastic productions like "Hänsel und Gretel", "Rapunzel", "Bunbury", and "Tschick", the festivities ran for over two breathtaking months, all under the protection of a cozy, over-roofed amphitheater.
