The ticket price includes a glass of sparkling wine (or an alcohol-free alternative).
Sunday, June 19, 2022, 11.00 a.m.: Concert matinée - Cranach anniversary: Vom Menschen with Friederike Vollert (recorders), Amandine Affagard (lute) and Hans Christian Martin (harpsichord): In the age of the Reformation, opposites collide: instead of the absolutization of church authority, Luther propagates "faith for all" and the focus is now increasingly on the individual. This is also reflected in the work of his contemporary Lucas Cranach. Instead of rigid chorales, the music contains new interpretations of secular dance songs. The Ensemble Weimar Baroque traces these tendencies in texts and pieces of music on the occasion of the 550th anniversary of Lucas Cranach the Elder.
The AnnA restaurant is offering a Cranach menu in 4 to 6 courses, which can be booked from May 21, 2022. This menu - in keeping with the Lucas Cranach exhibition in Weimar - will also be a culinary interpretation of the culture of the period.
Wednesday, June 22, 2022, 5 p.m.: Lecture: KunstLichtBlick. The cultural manager of the Hotel Elephant Weimar, Claudia Dell, gives an insight into the art collection of the Lichtsaal.
Tuesday, June 28, 2022, 7 p.m.: Elephant reading: Johanna Geißler reads "Lotte in Weimar" with wit and expression - a premiere at Hotel Elephant Weimar. As a Nobel Prize winner in literature and Goethe expert, Thomas Mann was a regular visitor to the Hotel Elephant in Weimar. In his novel "Lotte in Weimar", he created a literary monument to the hotel. In it, he writes about the late reunion between Goethe and Charlotte Kestner. Johanna Geißler is an actress at the Deutsches Nationaltheater Weimar.
The admission price includes a drink during the interval. A Madeira, Goethe's favorite drink, will be served. A non-alcoholic alternative is also available.
