Yesterday
marked the 400th performance of the play "Der Brandner
Kaspar und das ewig' Leben", starring Maximilian
Brückner and directed by Christian Stückl, at the
Münchner Volkstheater, bringing the 2025/26 season to a
close, and it was an event I simply couldn't miss. As
always, it was highly entertaining; afterwards, there
were the usual rounds of applause and a standing ovation
- and here’s to many more performances to come!
Here are some photos. |
