Nationaltheater Weimar: Kein Spielbetrieb bis 28. Februar
Das Deutsche Nationaltheater und die Staatskapelle Weimar spielen bis zum 28. Februar 2021 keine Vorstellungen und Konzerte. Grund sei die Planungsunsicherheit wegen der Corona-Pandemie, teilte das Haus am Dienstag mit. Im Sinne der Kontaktreduzierung ruhe zudem bis Ende Januar der Probenbetrieb. Die Arbeit hinter den Kulissen werde in allen Bereichen auf unverzichtbare und notwendige Tätigkeiten beschränkt.
Die Planungen für die Zeit nach dem 28. Februar hänge davon ab, wann der Spielbetrieb und zuvor die Probenarbeit wieder möglich ist. Generalintendant Hasko Weber blicke jedoch mit Zuversicht auf die Realisierung des Sommertheater-Projekts auf dem Weimarer e-werk-Gelände.
Weimar National Theatre: No performances until 28 February
The German National Theatre and the Staatskapelle Weimar will not be staging any performances or concerts until 28 February 2021. The reason is the planning uncertainty due to the Corona pandemic, the theatre announced on Tuesday. In addition, in order to reduce contact, rehearsals will be suspended until the end of January. Work behind the scenes in all areas will be limited to indispensable and necessary activities.

The plans for the period after 28 February depend on when it will be possible to resume performances and, before that, rehearsals. However, general director Hasko Weber is looking forward with confidence to the realisation of the summer theatre project on the Weimar e-werk site.
