The KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen in Hanover is an annual international and interdisciplinary festival in which music plays a central role.
For the 15th edition of the festival, artistic director Ingo Metzmacher and the dramaturgy team have once again put together a diverse program that transcends genre boundaries and invites the audience to enjoy unique artistic experiences. From 16.05. to 02.06.2024, the KunstFestSpiele will present music and circus theater, performances, concerts, dance and theater performances as well as installations by international artists. Some of the works on show will be specially commissioned and developed for the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen venues.
The festival's central venues - the Gallery and Orangery, the Great Garden and the Arne Jacobsen Foyer - are located in the magnificent setting of the Herrenhausen Gardens. The DHC Hall in the immediate vicinity of the Herrenhausen Gardens has now established itself as a new venue and will be used again next year. In the festival center of the KunstFestSpiele in the Herrenhausen Gardens, the artists, staff and audience meet in a relaxed atmosphere.

Advance ticket sales have already begun for three program highlights of the upcoming festival edition in May 2024: Leonard Bernstein's MASS, a major musical work with over 400 performers, combines jazz, classical music, gospel and pop, conducted by Ingo Metzmacher in the Kuppelsaal of the HCC. In Lia Rodrigues' Encantado , enchanted creatures come together for a breathtaking choreography. And with Rhapsody in Yellow: A Ping Pong Piano Battle, Ming Wong brings a virtuoso piano duel to the stage.
