Alte Reithalle: wo die Bühne Kotzebue erstmals überwältigte und das dramatische Feuer entfachte
As a preview of the upcoming literary walk in Weimar, we present a memoir by August von Kotzebue in which he recalls his first encounter with the theatre: a performance of Klopstock’s Death of Adam at the Old Riding Hall in Weimar. This moment proved formative—the young Kotzebue was overwhelmed by the stage, and it was here that his passion for drama was first ignited. A vivid glimpse into the origins of an extraordinary theatrical career.
