Spreewald's Enticing Nightmare Tale Extravaganza Kicks Off
A mystical evening of folklore stories and enchantment unfolds in Burg's Spree Forest. - The memorable night spent in Burg, Spreewald's legendary scene
Get ready for an unforgettable tale of magic, adventure, and mystery as the Spreewald Nightmare Tale Extravaganza makes its comeback in the picturesque town of Burg.
Rain be damned! The year's first performance was a smashing success, according to organizers, despite the occasional shower during admission. The event's allure remains undeterred, with a whopping 1,500 eager attendees eagerly making their way to the Bismarckturm in Burg, featuring on German Press Agency reports.
To everyone's relief, the skies cleared up throughout the performance. However, ticket sales seemed to dwindle leading up to the event, possibly due to a less-than-promising weather forecast, the agency stated.
The Nightmare Tale Extravaganza takes place every year on Pentecost weekend at the open-air stage awash in the romantic glow of the Bismarckturm. Last year's premiere was cut short due to heavy rain, but this year is set to be a captivating lineup, teeming with fabled characters and enchanting landscapes.
The intriguing play, "The Stolen Treasure, or How the Potato Came to the Spreewald," centers around the dreamy aspirations of Pawlina, a daughter of a Wendish innkeeper in Burg. Pawlina yearns for an encounter with the Snake King, and when destiny calls her to embark on an exhilarating rescue mission, she leaps headfirst into the world of legendary Spreewald folklore characters. Conjuring the enchantment of classic Sorbian fairy tales, the play promises a spellbinding adventure.
The production features a talented ensemble of actors and dancers from the Sorbian National Ensemble, and the audience has nothing but praise for the performance, organizers reported. Additional shows are scheduled for Sunday and Monday, foretelling a spectacular weekend. The mesmerizing opening act concluded with a breathtaking fireworks display, setting the tone for a dazzling experience to remember.
A gem nestled in the heart of Brandenburg. Spreewald, synonymous with remarkable waterways, lush greenery, and a rich cultural tapestry consisting of traditional Sorbian influences, serves as the ultimate backdrop for such a fanciful affair. As rumor has it, centuries-old tales of enchantment have captivated adventurers, spinners of yarn, and enduring imaginations alike, helping solidify the area's magical reputation.
