Shakespeare im Park: Golden Lads & Girls

In “Cymbeline”, Shakespeare writes a melancholy memento for all the “Golden Lads & Girls”. Despite the splendour and manifold colours of life, love and lust, everything must “come to dust” one day, as the poet laments. The storms of life are familiar not only to Viola, the heroine of “Twelfth Night”, who is shipwrecked in a foreign land and disguises herself as a man (with whom beautiful Olivia instantly falls in love). The young lovers “Troilus and Cressida” must also weather many a storm and the same is true of all heroes and heroines who are cast into ever greater confusion. Once more, the park of Schloss Leopoldskron becomes the setting for a play that is from the pen of Shakespeare, even though the Bard himself never wrote it like that.

“Dazed by the beauty of the moment, the audience could not get enough of the plethora of Shakespeare scenes […]. Even though Shakespeare never wrote this play, he would have presumably enjoyed this best-of version of his works just as much as the ‘enraptured’ audience.” Traunsteiner Tagblatt

With great relish, the Salzburg State Theatre has for years been following Max Reinhardt’s idea of “turning the city into a stage”. In addition to the Shakespeare walk in the park of Schloss Leopoldskron, we will make an excursion to the Paracelsus Bad pools this year. Please remember to bring solid shoes for the one Shakespeare experience – and rubber sandals for the other!

Additional information for the performances in Park Schloss Leopoldskron:
- Picnic baskets can be purchased in advance with the tickets.
- You can enjoy your picnic starting an hour before, but you are also allowed to take the hamper with you during the performance. The empty baskets have to be returned at the exit.
- A limited amount of non-pre-ordered picnic hampers is available before the performance at Schloss Leopoldskron (card payments only). Since availability on the day cannot be guaranteed, we recommend purchasing your basket in advance.
- Vegetarian and vegan picnic hampers are available on request and by prior order only. Picnic baskets with modified contents for children are also available.
- The consumption of food and drinks brought along is unfortunately not possible.
- Due to the limited number of parking spaces, we recommend using public transport.
