In the Harz region, powerful dukes, brave heroes, mysterious witches, devilish beings, shady dwarfs, and brawling robbers have always come together – the legend of the Roßtrappe and Walpurgis Night are among the most well-known tales from the area. The composer, pianist, and cabaret artist Christoph Reuter has wrapped six famous and lesser-known Harz legends into a symphonic masterpiece that shines in a cinematic style. Some of the stories lead us to the Monastery of Our Lady – it is at this historic location that the presentation of the Harz Saga will take place. The legendary Otto Graf zu Stolberg-Wernigerode will be brought to life as the narrator, guiding the audience through mythical stories from the past. Immerse yourself in a world full of elves, dwarfs, ghosts, and mystical tales, while also discovering exciting details about the Harz and life in earlier times. Accompanied by an orchestra, the narratives gain a new, captivating dimension – cinema for the ears. An unforgettable experience for the whole family, from young to old.
