The KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen in Hanover is an annual international and interdisciplinary festival in which music plays a central role. For the 13th edition of the festival, artistic director Ingo Metzmacher and the dramaturgy have again put together a diverse program that transcends genre boundaries and invites the audience to unique artistic experiences. From 12 May to 29 May 29 2022, the KunstFestSpiele will present musical theater, performances, concerts, dance and theater performances, and installations by international artists. Some of the works on display have been specially commissioned and developed for the venues of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen. 

The central festival venues – the Galerie and Orangerie, the Großer Garten, the Arne Jacobsen Foyer – are located in the magnificent setting of the Herrenhausen Gardens. The DHC-Halle in the immediate vicinity of the Herrenhausen Gardens has meanwhile established itself as a new venue and will be used even more intensively this year. In the central festival center of the KunstFestSpiele in the Herrenhausen Gardens, the artists, staff and audience meet in a relaxed atmosphere.


Some highlights of the KunstFestSpiele 2022 include the world premiere of rwḥ 1–4, a full-length work on the theme of breath, wind, spirit and soul, commissioned by the KunstFestSpiele from the French composer Mark Andre. It was created at the suggestion of six Hanoverian choirs, who will also participate, as will the Ensemble Modern conducted by Ingo Metzmacher. In addition, there will be the German premiere of a scenic interpretation of Arnold Schönberg's Pierrot lunaire by choreographer Marlene Monteiro Freitas: in a mixture of concert and performance, Klangforum Wien will perform, and experimental vocalist Sofia Jernberg can be heard and seen in the leading role.
