In Erfurt, culture lovers have the possibility to enjoy "The Troubadour" at the Domstufen Festival this year. The ensemble of Erfurt Cathedral and Severi Church offers an impressive backdrop for the Verdi opera. No less imposing is the scenery of the Weimar summer: With the locations Stadtschloss, Weimarhallenpark, Notenbank and Cranachhaus, the classicism capital presents itself from its best cultural side and invites to completely different music, theater and exhibition experiences on mild summer evenings. The city celebrates, among other things, Goethe's 268th birthday in the illuminated Park on the Ilm, the University of Music Franz Liszt invites to their master classes, the video mapping and facade projection festival Genius Loci makes Weimar constructions veritable story-tellers and the lakeside musical experience that includes everything from rock, pop to jazz to classical music. The summer days will be equally fabulous in Jena with the Kulturarena or in Meiningen with the Kleinkunsttagen. (gro)
