Jenaer Philharmonie live in Bad Elster

Experience Jenaer Philharmonie live on June 26th

The Jenaer Philharmonie will perform at the NaturTheater Bad Elster on June 26, 2026. The Jenaer Philharmonie is a German orchestra with a repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary compositions, frequently focusing on works by German and Central European composers. They are known for dynamic performances and a commitment to both established orchestral literature and lesser-known works.

NaturTheater Bad Elster is an open-air theatre uniquely built into the natural sandstone rock formations of the Kurpark in Bad Elster, Germany. Originally constructed in 1913, it was a pioneering example of *Felsenbühne* (rock stage) architecture, designed to integrate the surrounding landscape into the performance space. Heavily damaged after World War II, it underwent extensive reconstruction and reopened in 2014 following a period of closure and restoration efforts that aimed to preserve its historical character while updating its technical capabilities. The venue’s acoustics are considered particularly noteworthy due to its natural amphitheater shape and the reflective properties of the sandstone. It primarily hosts classical music concerts, operatic performances, and theatrical productions during the warmer months.
