The Society Theatre, Dresden's oldest and most esteemed cultural institution, is gearing up for an exciting new season. The grand opening festival commences today, on the 24th of August, marking the beginning of the 2025/2026 season.

Located in the city's main street, the Society Theatre has always been a beacon of diversity and innovation. This year is no exception, as the theatre prepares to present a diverse music programme, new productions, and a focus on cross-genre formats.
