A rare melodrama in summer Bamberg
In Julia's Garden takes the audience on Sunday, July 19, 2026, right into a poetic exception: a reconstructed Bamberg episode from Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek's lost melodrama based on E.T.A. Hoffmann. In front of the pavilion in the garden of the property Lange Straße 31, a stage experience unfolds that combines music theater, literature, and local history in a single evening.
A Hoffmann moment that will not return
The event has the character of a rarity. Martin Neubauer and pianist Beate Roux reconstruct from preserved parts that episode that makes Hoffmann's love for Julia audible as a heart-wrenching and at the same time ironic melodrama. It is precisely this mix of romantic exuberance and subtle breaking that gives the evening a rare dramatic tension.
Outdoor music theater
The performance location in front of the pavilion in the garden creates a special theater atmosphere: no large hall, no distancing curtain, but closeness, air, and the fragile magic of a summer evening. The acoustics outdoors, the direct interplay of voice and piano, and the historical location form an intimate experience that recalls a literary discovery more than a conventional performance.
Between reconstruction and poetry
The fact that the work is preserved only in parts makes the evening even more dramaturgically appealing. The reconstruction not only presents music history but transforms loss into presence: from the fragment comes form, from the trace comes an evening full of tension. Those interested in staging, romantic themes, and rarely performed stage art will experience a cultural-historical event with quiet force.
The location speaks
Lange Straße 31 is not just an address but part of the narrative. The proximity to Julia's former residence elegantly connects performance and urban space. Thus, an evening emerges that understands Bamberg itself as a resonance space: architecture, memory, and music theater enter into a fine dialogue.
Conclusion
In Julia's Garden promises a concentrated, rare, and poetically charged theater evening for all who love musical literary evenings and special performance spaces. Anyone who appreciates Hoffmann, Reznicek, and the intimate theater atmosphere should experience this performance live.
