A song evening that immerses Bonn in poetic light
At the Schumann Festival 2026, great art songs meet the intimate tension of an evening focused entirely on sound, text, and atmosphere at the Theater im Ballsaal. On June 9, 2026, Christoph Prégardien and Pauliina Tukiainen will present the song evening »Moonlit Night« – a concert experience that puts Schumann's and Schubert's romantic imagery in the spotlight. The festival explicitly mentions works by Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert; the evening begins at 20:00. ([bonner-schumannfest.de](https://www.bonner-schumannfest.de/?utm_source=openai))
Romanticism in close-up
Those who experience Christoph Prégardien live know the special blend of clear diction, precise phrasing, and musical sovereignty. His official biography highlights the fine control of the voice, the clear treatment of words, and the pronounced musicality; it also refers to international engagements with top orchestras as well as recordings of Bach and Brahms programs. This very experience makes him one of the defining song interpreters of his generation. ([pregardien.com](https://pregardien.com/en/vita/biography?utm_source=openai))
A program with quiet tension and great depth
The festival program includes Schumann's Song Cycle op. 39, six songs by Nikolaus Lenau, and the Requiem op. 90 for »Moonlit Night«. The evening is complemented by Schubert songs like The Trout, Erlkönig, and Nights and Dreams. This dramaturgy promises a concentrated evening where voice and piano act like two narrative voices, making the live atmosphere of the song evening immediately palpable.

The Theater im Ballsaal as a suitable resonance room
The venue is located at Frongasse 9 in 53121 Bonn-Endenich. The Theater im Ballsaal describes itself as an independent theater in Bonn; visitor information mentions free seating, entry via the BallsaalBar, wheelchair access on ground level, and limited parking options. Therefore, the venue explicitly recommends arriving by public transport or bicycle. ([theater-im-ballsaal.de](https://theater-im-ballsaal.de/service/?utm_source=openai))
An evening for listeners with a fine ear
»Moonlit Night« perfectly matches the mood of the Schumann Festival: no loud spectacle, but a concentrated stage performance, musical depth, and the art of precise listening. The box office of the festival program lists 30 euros for regular admission and 15 euros for reduced prices; another ticket provider indicates current pre-sale prices starting at 28.70 euros. Thus, it is clear: this concert remains demanding but accessible. ([bonner-schumannfest.de](https://www.bonner-schumannfest.de/?utm_source=openai))
