MDR Sinfonieorchester live in Bad Elster

Experience MDR Sinfonieorchester live on August 15th

MDR Sinfonieorchester, based in Leipzig, Germany, is renowned for its broad repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary compositions, with a particular focus on German Romantic and early 20th-century works. The orchestra frequently performs alongside internationally acclaimed soloists and is associated with the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (Central German Broadcasting) network. Their performances are characterized by a commitment to both faithful interpretation and dynamic musical expression.

The concert on August 15, 2026, will be held at NaturTheater Bad Elster, an open-air theatre uniquely integrated into the natural landscape of the Kurpark in Bad Elster, Saxony. Constructed in 1913-1914, it’s considered one of the first and best-preserved examples of a *Felsenbühne* – a stage built directly into a rocky hillside. The theatre’s acoustics benefit significantly from this natural amphitheater design.

Historically, NaturTheater Bad Elster was conceived as a venue for theatrical performances and festivals designed to enhance the spa town’s appeal.
