The Beethoven Orchestra Bonn invites you to a Spanish Night on Sunday evening, 26 June, on Bonn's artificial lawn. From 7 p.m., the open-air venue will be transformed into the Alhambra of Granada: nocturnal cicada sounds and the clatter of castanets, the murmur of guitars and wild singing. Among others, Manuel de Falla's "The Tricorn", Emmanuel Chabrier's "España" and "Alborada del Gracioso" by Maurice Ravel can be heard. Meanwhile, listeners can enjoy what they have brought with them on their picnic blankets. Food and drinks will also be available on site.

Torsten Sträter in Marienthal

Cabaret artist Torsten Sträter performs at the Marienthal monastery ruins on Friday evening. There he will give a guest performance with his programme "Snow Falling on Ceran". Torsten Sträter describes what the audience can expect as follows: "A guided tour through the whole world of idiocy, the insight that nothing is more human than misfortune, strange reports from the edge of the slippery slope, then I supplement the evening with descriptions that I can't deny myself under any circumstances, close the bag at the end with a very good story, and if you're still able, there's a hail of encores. A serious concept. And I vow to make it very funny."

When: Friday, 24 June 2022, 7.30 p.m.

Where: Marienthal Monastery Ruins, Klosterstraße 3-5, 53507 Dernau, Germany
