For the Fall Conference 2026 on November 6 and 7, 2026, we will once again meet in Weimar. The topic of the conference will be the play – is it really a comedy? – Measure for Measure, which will also be on the DNT’s programme.

The board intends to schedule the Spring Conference 2027 in Weimar for April 23-25 in Weimar. We are looking forward to a performance of Cole Porter’s adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew in his globally succesful musical Kiss Me Kate at the DNT.
