Packed Night Under the Stars at Spreewald's Enchanting Fairy Tale Spectacle in Burg
Burgal's Famed Evening Unfolds - Bacchanalian Spreewald Bash Held at Castle
Some Rain, But Nothing Could Dampen the Spirits
Despite a drizzle during entry, this year's Spreewald Fairy Tale Spectacle in Burg kicked off with a bang, according to the organizers. A whopping 1,500 visitors braved the elements to attend the event, proving its timeless appeal, as reported by the German Press Agency.
Fortunately, the weather played nice during the performance, allowing everybody to enjoy the show. However, ticket sales initially lagged behind due to the gloomy weather prognostications, the agency shared.
Held each year on the open-air stage at the Bismarckturm on Pentecost, the Spreewald Fairy Tale Spectacle returned after last year's premiere was cancelled due to torrential rain.
This year's production, "The Stolen Treasure or How the Potato Came to the Spreewald," follows the captivating adventures of Pawlina, the daughter of a Wendish innkeeper in Burg. Driven by her curiosity to meet the legendary Snake King, she embarks on a thrilling rescue mission, encountering familiar faces from well-loved Sorbian fairy tales.
Performed by the celebrated Sorbian National Ensemble, the play earned rave reviews from the crowd. Further performances are scheduled for Sunday and Monday, with expectations running high for another milestone weekend, as the agency indicated. The spectacular evening came to a close with an awe-inspiring fireworks display.
