A dark literature evening with the Thalbach Trio at the Stadttheater Amberg

On Friday, October 30, 2026, the Stadttheater Amberg will transform into a sound space of the eerie: With Katharina Thalbach, Anna Thalbach, and Nellie Thalbach, a reading is on the program that combines ghost stories, horror themes, and literary nighttime tales into a captivating stage experience. The evening begins at 7:30 PM in the series Delicacies; the performance venue is the Stadttheater Amberg at Schrannenplatz 8.

Between the realm of shadows and sharp wit

The program follows an intriguing dramatic idea: On one side are otherworldly spirits, and on the other, horror figures rooted in the earthly realm that resonate deeply because of this connection. The Thalbach Trio approaches these themes with stories by Ambrose Bierce, Edgar Allan Poe, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Bram Stoker, and Kurt Tucholsky; the official announcement emphasizes the unique constellation of mother, daughter, and granddaughter, who explore the horrific with playful precision.

Theater atmosphere in a historical venue

The location also contributes to the suspense: The Stadttheater Amberg has 569 seats and is only partially accessible. Coat check and box office typically open one hour before the performance begins; the Tourist Information at Hallplatz handles ticket sales. Attendees will not just experience a reading but a concentrated play of voices, rhythm, and intimacy, supported by the special architecture of the building.
