Stella in Augsburg: Goethe's love triangle meets modern stage energy
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the Staatstheater Augsburg presents Johann Wolfgang Goethe's play for lovers Stella on the brechtbühne in the Gaswerk. At the center is a complicated love triangle between the baroness Stella, the bourgeois Cäcilie, and the officer Fernando – a classic about love, expectations, and the limits of social order.
A classic full of emotional tension
Goethe's play premiered in 1776, sparking discussions even in its first version. The production by the Staatstheater Augsburg focuses on the contradictory feelings of the characters and tests classic notions of love and relationship. Between closeness, overwhelm, and longing, an intense event atmosphere emerges that draws the audience directly into the conflict.
Modern perspectives on an old relationship model
The production combines Goethe's language with modern music, contemporary costumes, and a staging that makes the relationship dynamics almost observable like a reality show. This gives the play a contemporary perspective: Who decides on a relationship? Which desires matter – and what happens when multiple life concepts collide?
Strong cast and focused theater experience
On stage are Mirjana Milosavljević or Christina Jung as Stella, Natalie Hünig as Cäcilie, and Patrick Rupar as Fernando. Set and costumes are by Sophie Rieser, music by Paul Pötsch, and lighting design by Moritz Fettinger. Max Sauer handles the dramaturgy.
The performance lasts about 70 minutes and is presented without an intermission. An introduction begins 30 minutes before the show starts, offering additional insights into the material, creation, and production. Press reviews described the production as dense, contemporary, and accompanied by strong applause.
The brechtbühne in the Gaswerk as a special venue
The brechtbühne in the Gaswerk is one of the interim venues of the Staatstheater Augsburg. The former industrial area lends a distinctive ambiance to the theater evening and combines historical architecture with contemporary event management. There is a parking garage directly opposite for those arriving by car.
Conclusion: An evening of theater between passion and societal questions
Stella promises a concentrated event experience for all who want to connect classic literature, acting, and modern directorial approaches. The audience can expect an emotional encounter with Goethe, fueled by intense audience atmosphere and an ensemble that makes the conflicts of the characters directly tangible. Those who want to rediscover theater in Augsburg or experience a classic from today's perspective will find a special evening on November 11, 2026, at the brechtbühne.
