Nibelungen Festival, Worms | July 17—Aug. 8, 2026
In mid-July the stage is set against the backdrop of the illuminated Imperial Cathedral in Worms. This open-air festival tells the famous story of Siegfried the Dragon Slayer.
For 2026, the play is “The Hun Queen,” created in collaboration with the London theater company “Les Enfants Terribles.” The story centers around Princess Kriemhild of Burgundia, who, after Siegfried’s death, joins the Huns and becomes the most powerful woman on the continent.
Although the play is in the German language, non-German-speaking visitors will also be enamored by the visuals and epic adventure. Tickets are available online.
