A poetic evening full of images, sound, and magic in Bonn
With Laterna Magica, Theater Bonn presents a music theater on May 31, 2026 that combines historical image magic fascination with contemporary sound language. The introductory matinee at 11:00 AM has already been announced as a special opening and invites you to get to know this new work early.
When an old invention suddenly becomes present
The laterna magica is considered an early predecessor of cinema. This is precisely where the Bonn premiere production draws its tension: From projections, electronic colors, and chamber ensemble arise images that swing between fairy tale, discovery, and dream world. Theater Bonn describes the work as a musical experience that unfolds in an immersive space.
A small format with a big impact
The evening does not rely on overwhelming size, but on intimacy, atmosphere, and precise organization. The workshop stage creates the framework for an intense event experience, where sound, light, and movement are closely intertwined. This makes the event particularly interesting for visitors who appreciate contemporary music theater, a clear target audience approach, and finely staged audience mood.
The artistic team behind the premiere
Music by Oxana Omelchuk, libretto by Oliver Riedmüller, and the visual signature of Anne Gourdet-Marès shape this production. Theater Bonn locates the piece as a commissioned work and premiere. This combination of new music, visually powerful storytelling, and experimental stage form promises a theater experience that resonates long after.
The workshop as a suitable venue
The workshop of Theater Bonn at Rheingasse 1 is regarded as a compact, direct location for focused evenings. The venue is accessible and offers a wheelchair space, located centrally in Bonn. It is also important for guests: The admission ticket is valid on the event day four hours before the start and until closing as a ticket in the SWB and VRS network.
Conclusion: A Bonn cultural date for the curious and explorers
Laterna Magica promises a sensual, unusual, and artistically condensed live experience in Bonn. Those seeking music theater filled with imagination, rich visual storytelling, and contemporary energy should mark this date and experience the premiere live in the workshop.
