A fairy tale evening that immerses Bamberg in enchanting miniature light

With Sleeping Beauty, the Bamberg Puppet Theater invites you to a poetic stage experience that transforms the Grimm classic into the special art of puppet theater. On September 25, 2026 at 5:00 PM, a production unfolds in Bamberg that combines fairy tale material, historical stage, and a fine theatrical atmosphere into a family-friendly evening.

A classic in new lightness

The adaptation by Marec Béla Steffens and the staging by Maria Sebald focus on precision, imagery, and narrative elegance. The piece takes you through the world of the well-known Grimm fairy tale and gains in the puppet theater that subtle tension, which arises between delicate movement, concentrated direction, and lively dramaturgy. The result is not just a retelling, but an artistically condensed theater experience.

The stage as a magical space

The Bamberg Puppet Theater performs in the historic Staubschen House on Untere Sandstraße. The traditional stage with its miniature architecture and intentionally used lighting creates depth, illusion, and an intimate closeness to the performance. Especially with a fairy tale like Sleeping Beauty, this form unfolds its full effect: Every movement of the puppets, every change of light, and every transformation becomes part of a sensitive theatrical art that captivates both adults and children.

Bamberg as a fairy-tale backdrop

The location itself is particularly appealing. According to the announcement, the action leads through the puppet theater, over the rooms of the New Residence, and the Court Garden to the Rose Garden. Thus, the event uniquely intertwines cultural history, cityscape, and fairy tale poetry. Bamberg not only provides the setting but also becomes part of the production.

For families and theater lovers

As a fairy tale production, Sleeping Beauty is a delightful experience for the whole family. At the same time, the evening appeals to those who appreciate puppet theater as a serious art form: with craftsmanship precision, strong scenic effect, and an audience reaction often consisting of amazed silence, followed by applause and glowing faces.

Conclusion

Sleeping Beauty promises an elegant theater evening in Bamberg between fairy tale magic, historical atmosphere, and high artistic performance. Anyone who wants to experience the Grimm classic live and with all senses should not miss this date.
