Theaterspiele Glyptothek
Wednesday, July 8 – Saturday, September 12, 2026
The summer theater in the heart of Munich with exclusive wine pairing from the Müller-Catoir winery
We are delighted to announce the upcoming season of the Glyptothek Theaterspiele! From July 08 to September 12, 2026, the inner courtyard of the famous Glyptothek on Munich's Königsplatz will once again be transformed into a vibrant place of culture, exchange, and inspiration.
For over 30 years, the Glyptothek Theaterspiele have been a permanent fixture in Munich and beyond. Following the tenure of founders Beles Adam and Gunnar Petersen, who made the summer theater a household name, directors Alex Novak and Sven Schöcker took over two years ago. Together, they develop innovative formats, including a marathon reading of Homer's Iliad, and breathe new life into the venerable ensemble.
The special flair of the Theaterspiele lies in its proximity to the audience: Enjoying a glass of wine, water, and bread, the audience sits at tables in the courtyard, immersed in the action. The program includes well-known plays by ancient authors as well as modern adaptations of classic works, inviting contemplation, wonder, and discussion.
A special highlight this year: Exclusive Müller-Catoir wines will be served during the performances, all perfectly matched to the productions – a delight for all the senses!
The summer 2026 program includes:
Dionysus, directed by Sven Schöcker
Antigone, directed by Alex Novak
Cassandra: A Play. Based on texts from antiquity to the present day, directed by Sven Schöcker
All performances will only take place in suitable weather conditions. Regular tickets cost €38, concessions €20 (school and university students), and include wine from the Müller-Catoir winery, water, and bread. Performances begin at 8 p.m., and doors open at 7 p.m.
Advance sales begin mid-June 2026 – Tickets & Info
