A musically charged theatrical event at the Friedrichsforum

False Gods brings Albert Ostermaier's dramatic melodrama to the Great Hall of the Friedrichsforum Bayreuth on August 28, 2026. The performance begins at 7:30 PM and immerses the audience in a world of Norns, fate, and the question of whether history gives rise to utopia or dystopia. The play represents a special pre-sound space for Bayreuth, merging performing arts and music theater.

Dramaturgy between myth and present

Ostermaier's text reimagines the material of the Twilight of the Gods from the perspective of the Norns: past, present, and future intertwine to create a narrative tension in which music serves not as accompaniment but as the dramatic motor. The work was first performed in concert form in 2024, combining spoken word with a chamber music ensemble of Modern String Quartet and Voyager Quartet.

An evening for ears and nerves

The production by Ludger Engels, described as an impressive event during its premiere in Worms, thrives on concentration: three actresses, musical motifs, and a material of archaic power. It is precisely this combination of mental stage design, physical presence, and musical urgency that makes the stage experience so captivating. The press particularly highlighted the intensity of the actresses and the stirring composition.
