Complete programme in presale now


With music-theatre, concerts, performances and light installations, the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen are occupying new spaces. Around 50 events can be seen from 5–21 May 2017 in Hanover’s famous gardens and the city itself. Advance booking for all events begins today, 19 January, online, by telephone, at the Künstlerhaus Hannover and all well-known booking offices.

A total of 18 productions from various artistic genres such as opera, performance, music and installation, including five German first performances and re-stagings for Herrenhausen, will be presented during the festival’s two weeks. In the Spiegelzelt, the centre of the KunstFestSpiele, there will again be a meeting of club programme, art and cuisine.

At the centre of the KunstFestSpiele are the impressive spaces in Herrenhausen – the Galerie and the Orangerie, the Baroque Großer Garten and the freshly renovated Arne-Jacobsen-Foyer. The spectrum is widened by new venues in the city, including the English-style public Georgengarten, the train shed of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, the Capitol and the Pavillon Kulturzentrum.
