Stella in Augsburg: Goethe's Love Drama Meets Contemporary Issues
On December 22, 2026, the State Theater Augsburg invites you to an intense evening of theater at the brechtbühne in the Gaswerk. Stella, Goethe's play for lovers, tells of a complicated love triangle between the baroness Stella, the bourgeois Cäcilie, and the officer Fernando. The production by Milena Mönch combines classical language with a sensual, contemporary stage aesthetic.
A Classic Full of Tension and Contradictions
Goethe's play, premiered in 1776, already caused controversial reactions in its first version. At the center are questions of love, claims of possession, societal norms, and alternative relationship models. The plot creates a dense atmosphere among the audience, where emotional closeness and moral uncertainty meet directly.
Strong Characters, Modern Perspectives
The production does not display Goethe in a museum-like manner but rather brings conflicts into the present with an open eye. Mirjana Milosavljević or Christina Jung takes on the role of Stella, Natalie Hünig plays Cäcilie, and Patrick Rupar embodies Fernando. The stage and costumes are designed by Sophie Rieser, the music by Paul Pötsch, the lighting design by Moritz Fettinger, and the dramaturgy by Max Sauer.
Atmosphere in the Historic Gaswerk
The brechtbühne in the Gaswerk creates a distinctive framework for the event experience with its industrial ambience. Clear lines, focused lighting, and proximity to the stage enhance the sensual impact of the play. Theater fans will enjoy a concentrated evening that connects literature, acting, and current societal issues.

The performance begins on Tuesday, December 22, 2026, at 7:30 PM. An introduction starts at 7:00 PM, providing orientation to the work, production, and themes.
