Worms Cathedral serves as both backdrop and stage set for the Nibelungen Festival© Bernward Bertram

For the 22nd time, the Nibelungen Festival invites you this summer to an open-air event in an impressive setting in front of the illuminated Imperial Cathedral in Worms!

From July 12 to 28, 2024, "Der Diplomat" will focus on Dietrich von Bern, a very special character from the Nibelungen cosmos. In this production, the story is told not only about Siegfried, Hagen, the Burgundians, and the Hun king Etzel but also raises the highly relevant question of how to prevent a war that nobody really wants and yet seems inevitable.

Furthermore, the beautifully illuminated Heylshof Park, Germany's most beautiful theater foyer, with stylish restaurants, live music, and a high-quality culinary offer, invites you to linger during the festival days.
