Musical Bonifatius: Cultural highlight at the cathedral square in Fulda

The interest in the excited musical "Bonifatius" is clearly noticeable in the city of Fulda. From August 22nd to August 31st, the cathedral square turns into an impressive open-air stage, on which the audience can experience the life story of St. Bonifatius up close. This event not only has cultural but also logistical effects on the city, since the space for traffic - both for vehicles as well as for pedestrians and cyclists - has to be closed.

The city of Fulda, which is known as a "musical city", has created a cultural highlight with this historical drama, which started in 2004. The new production of the musical against the backdrop of the Fulda Cathedral takes place for the second time and is expected to be the last of its kind. The prominent staging addresses the historical importance of Bonifatius', which founded the Fulda monastery in 744. The musical adventure includes a large choir and an orchestra that accompanies the lively story musically.

These insights cost nine euros or reduced seven euros, and offer an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with history.

The introductory event in the Abbey Garden, which takes place on the show days at 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., also promises an unforgettable experience. Here, guests receive comprehensive information on the action, history of origin and the musical aspects of the work. The price for this event is seven euros, reduced five euros, with ticket property for the musical is a prerequisite for participating. In view of the limited places, it is advisable to reserve in advance.

The anticipation among the residents and spectators is great. The last performance will surely be an emotional highlight for everyone involved. Tickets for the performances are still available in the Fulda and online tourist information.
