Waren (dpa/mv) – The medieval open-air theater Müritz-Saga in Waren an der Müritz will be there again in 2023, despite higher costs. That’s what the theater makers around director Nils Düwell decided, as he reported to the German Press Agency on Thursday. Nobody can say now what effects the global events will have and whether tourists and locals will continue to be able to afford culture in 2023. But: “We didn’t endure the two years of the corona pandemic for nothing and developed the open-air stage into such a wonderful place that we can now simply give up,” said Düwell.
The new play will be called “The Treasure Hunt” and will run from July 1 to August 26, 2023 on the Mühlenberg open-air stage. It would be the 16th season. In 2022, the Müritz saga, which had been paused for two years due to the corona pandemic, again had around 18,000 guests at the play “The Devil’s Henchmen”. The theater makers around Düwell were satisfied with that, but had left the future open. Advance sales for the new season begin in November.
In the Müritz saga, a masked avenger usually ensures that the robbers in the Thirty Years’ War around 1640 in Mecklenburg are put in their place.
