From Friday, November 14, to Sunday, November 29, 2026, the Kulturkreis Bad Orb presents an impressive photo exhibition by Christoph Schmalbach at the Smallest House. The exhibition opening will take place on Friday, November 13, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. and offers a comprehensive insight into Schmalbach's nature photography. Art in Focus Christoph Schmalbach, born in 1987 in Schlüchtern, lives in Bad Orb and has devoted himself to nature photography since 2007. With his Canon 90D and Sigma 150–600 mm lens, he captures the diversity of landscapes, animals, and plants in striking moments. His sources of inspiration lie in direct encounters with nature – from the Lüneburg Heath to the Elbe Valley Lowlands and quiet sunsets. He is particularly fascinated by birds, whose grace and dynamism have accompanied him for years. Career and Purpose Schmalbach taught himself photography and has continuously developed his skills through exchanges with experts. His central role model is nature itself – with its colors, forms, and moods. His artistic statement: to make nature visible in all its uniqueness and preciousness. No image at any price; respect for nature always comes first.

Great emotions, poetic texts and musical expressiveness: the Bad Orb Cultural Circle invites you to a special afternoon of songs on Sunday, November 22, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. at the House of Guests. The program features selected works by Richard Strauss, Johannes Brahms and Hugo Wolf, three major composers who shaped German art song in their own distinctive ways. The concert afternoon is presented by bass Erik Ginzburg and pianist Hedayet Jonas Djeddikar. Together, the two artists promise a sensitive interplay of voice and piano, with the musical diversity and emotional depth of the art of song taking center stage.

The Nutcracker is long since more than a ballet — it is a pop culture phenomenon with soul. Tchaikovsky’s music can be heard everywhere at Christmas time, but live on stage it unfolds its full magic. The story of Clara, who travels with a living Nutcracker to the realm of the Sugar Plum Fairy, is imaginative, wild, and heartwarming. An adventure for all the senses. Premiered in 1892 in St. Petersburg, The Nutcracker was initially not a great success. But over the course of the 20th century, it became a fixture in the cultural calendar — especially during Advent. The choreography thrives on surprise, the stage design on poetry. And every detail is a small piece of Christmas tradition. What was once considered classic is now on trend: The Nutcracker is more popular than ever. Families, ballet fans, social media creators — everyone wants to be part of this magical world. Grand Classic Ballet brings it to the stage in a loving production that combines modern glamour with classical elegance.
Swan Lake is perhaps the most famous ballet in the world — and not without reason. The tragic story of Odette, who turns into a swan at night, and Prince Siegfried, who wins her heart, is profound, emotional, and visually stunning. It tells of the search for truth, inner strength, and the hope that love can overcome boundaries. When Swan Lake premiered in 1877, its success was initially modest. It was only the 1895 revival that made it a worldwide hit. Today, the work is a benchmark and a prime example of classical ballet art. The famous swan ensemble — perfectly synchronized, dramatically composed — remains one of the most impressive images in the world of theatre to this day. The Grand Classic Ballet Winter Tour brings this legend to the stage in an atmospheric setting and with a sensitive cast. Whether you are new to ballet or a long-time fan — Swan Lake moves, inspires, and stays in the memory. For many, it is an integral part of the cultural winter.
Stefan Vögel's comedy, freely adapted from the bestselling book of the same name by Maxim Leo and Jochen Gutsch, features a star-studded cast including Götz Otto, Katja Studt, Thorsten Nindel, Nicola Ransom and Louis Held. Mischa and Christiane lead a happy life: their son is successfully studying medicine, and the future seems secure. But on Mischa's 50th birthday, his boss offers him not only phased retirement, but even immediate dismissal with a full pension. Suddenly, Mischa feels old. Very old. Christiane hardly recognizes her husband, who has turned into a whiny bundle of misery. When their best friends arrive for the birthday party as well, the situation comes to a head—and an emotional storm breaks out: the beginning of the menopause of aging. A racing bike is bought, a fitness room is set up, and the previous life plan is radically called into question. By the end of the evening, nothing remains as it was. The play is a pointed and highly amusing comedy about the turbulence of a very special stage of life. Götz Otto is one of the most distinctive faces in German film and has also made a name for himself internationally. He became known through box-office hits such as "James Bond 007 – Tomorrow Never Dies," "Downfall," "Cloud Atlas," and "Iron Sky."
On the first Saturday of every month, events with DJs take place at Toskana Therme, sometimes in dialogue with live musicians. Modern relaxation culture meets contemporary electronic music, above and below the water.

As a band, Fleetwood Mac made music history and belongs in the same breath as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, or Queen. Fleetwood Mac was founded in 1967 by guitarist Peter Green and drummer and namesake Mick Fleetwood as a British blues rock band. The classic lineup of Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, and John McVie had already sold more records by 1969 than the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. Blues-oriented rock numbers such as “Black Magic Woman” or “Oh Well” became worldwide hits. In 1970, Fleetwood Mac fell into crisis. Lead guitarist Peter Green had great difficulty coping with the pressure of the band’s success and increasingly succumbed to drug addiction — he left the band unexpectedly. Second guitarist Jeremy Spencer also struggled with similar problems and left the band during an ongoing U.S. tour. Because of these massive musical setbacks, Fleetwood Mac underwent a stylistic and musical change of direction in the early 1970s by adding two new band members: Christine McVie on keyboards and Bob Welch as the new lead guitarist. The era of Fleetwood Mac as a pop-rock band had begun. Hardly any other band has ever undergone such a radical change in musical style without losing popularity. An absolute first in music history. In 1974, Bob Welch left the band, and Mick Fleetwood managed to find two new band members whom he had met by chance in the same recording studio. Lindsey Buckingham joined as the new guitarist and singer, and Stevie Nicks as another vocalist — another couple in the band, alongside Christine and John McVie — and a musical stroke of luc
Fleetwood Mac had a major influence on music history. The band started in 1967 as a British blues rock group. Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood laid the foundation. Early hits like “Black Magic Women” gained worldwide recognition. In the 1970s, the band underwent a radical change in style. New members such as Christine McVie shaped the sound. The music evolved toward pop rock. This move preserved the band’s popularity in a remarkable way. With Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, the group reached a new dimension. The album “Rumours” is considered a milestone in pop history. It addresses private crises and inner turmoil. This emotional tension made the songs timeless classics. The secret lay in the symbiosis of three songwriters. Their private conflicts fueled the creative energy. The lyrics reflect this dynamic. On stage, the songs were always performed in an individual and charismatic way. THE COSMIC CARNEVAL honors this legacy. The show takes audiences through the band’s entire universe. It ranges from early blues to pop rock. Well-known hits such as “Dreams” and “Little Lies” are performed live. The production relies on passion and a strong sense of empathy. It reflects the energetic live performance of the original lineup. Now this impressive production is coming to Germany for the first time.
Relatives arrive, the Christmas tree is still not in its stand, Christmas greetings have not yet been sent, people are trying to prove nonexistent cooking skills, the presents are getting out of hand, and in the cities and shops goodwill is written off until January. Meanwhile, television rattles through its year-in-review specials, priests drone sleepily about contemplation and renunciation, and neighbors, with their illumination skills, are driving the fuse box into the wall. Ramon Chormann once again looks at Christmas in his own way, and as always it is about the pitfalls of everyday life, which pile up enormously at Christmas. It becomes musically “ramontic” at the piano, and perhaps between the stories of es Dummbeitels Heinz and es Schlappmauls Elvira, one gets a somewhat different view of the “festival of love.” At last it is here, the sequel to the Christmas program “Merry Christmas with Ramon Chormann,” which has been broadcast in full every year on HR television since 2019 and has meanwhile become a cult favorite. ... hohohoho! …
Tomorrow, children, there’ll be something to look forward to! Or will there? Santa’s racing sleigh has given up the ghost... and a strike by the reindeer, who refuse to pay customs duties for Greenland’s overflight rights, is making matters worse. Yes, holy cow — is the world really supposed to get through Christmas 2026 without presents? To deal with the crisis, with plenty of heavenly communion wine and kipferl hastily baked by the Christ Child, enlightenment then suddenly reaches him. For thanks to his hot line from above to earth, salvation approaches in the person of the Three Stars, also known as the singers Nanni Byl, Elke Diepenbeck and Annika Klar, who, as shrewd ambassadors of Advent bliss, are waiting only for his instructions on how the feast of feasts can still succeed. The popular show by the three ladies, accompanied by their dream men on bass, guitar and drums, has been a cult favorite on German stages for years. With plenty of wit, charm and the unbridled desire to enjoy the Advent season as it should be... namely lovingly, contemplatively and stress-free, these musical multitalents let loose in a wide variety of languages and genres, from groovy to dreamy, in the broad world of Christmas hits. With a decorated Christmas tree, surprising arrangements and lots of feeling, Ladies NYGHT playfully give their loyal fans the comforting certainty that now, at last, Christmas really can come — O you merry one! Vocals: Nanni Byl, Elke Diepenbeck, Annika Klar Guitar: Gulf Schmid Bass: Rolf Breyer/Robert Oursin Drums: Rainer Dettling/Dirik Schilgen
THE REAL COMEDIAN HARMONISTS Set the Musical Mood for Christmas with “Hell ist die Nacht” During the contemplative pre-Christmas season, The Real Comedian Harmonists bring festive highlights to the stage. Following their successful “Ein kleines bisschen Glück” tour, the six stylish gentlemen in tailcoats are now back with their Christmas program “Hell ist die Nacht,” once again transporting their audience into a world of harmony, humor, and musical sophistication. Hailed by the press as worthy successors to the legendary Comedian Harmonists, the singers captivate audiences with masterful vocals, sharp wit, and a keen sense of timing. Classic Christmas carols such as “Leise rieselt der Schnee” and “Stille Nacht” blend seamlessly with international Christmas hits like “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town”—always with fresh arrangements and surprising interpretations. In addition to musical perfection, humorous stories centered around Christmas provide top-notch entertainment. Tap-dancing reindeer, dancing snowmen, and tongue-in-cheek scenes make the concert a Christmas revue that’s as charming as it is entertaining. While the winter wind blows outside, the program fills the hall with warmth, comfort, and the joy of the holiday season. Well-known melodies invite you to dream while also being presented in original arrangements: The Christmas tree shines in a rousing gospel arrangement, while fiery bossa nova rhythms spread exotic Christmas cheer. Whether contemplative or upbeat—“Hell ist die Nacht” offers the perfect musical Christmas gift fo
Every year, the Christ Child comes around—and brings one thing above all else: stress. Burning Christmas trees, crowded city centers, arguments under the Christmas tree, and family dynamics that are more explosive than any New Year’s Eve firework. Anyone who thinks Christmas is a time for reflection hasn’t yet experienced Stephan Bauer’s first Christmas show. On Friday, December 18, 2026, the well-known cabaret artist and comedian will perform his show “Christmas Is Off! Josef Confesses Everything!” at 8:00 p.m. in the theater hall of the Bad Orber Concert Hall, delivering a mercilessly funny take on the apocalyptic aspects of the Christmas season. Bauer takes his audience on a journey through Advent that feels like a shopping marathon at REWE Bethlehem: stressed-out people, desperate gift-hunters, and the annual family chaos on Christmas Eve. When the single mom sister, the hard-of-hearing grandma, and the cranky godmother—complete with her lap dog—show up, while Mom cooks nonstop and Dad irritably realizes that the goose isn’t on the plate but sitting right next to him—that’s when the “raw celebration” is in full swing. With razor-sharp observation, plenty of self-deprecating humor, and a veritable fireworks display of jokes, Stephan Bauer exposes the absurdities surrounding Christmas stress, climate change, and false idylls. His goal: to escape the Christmas blues and embrace laughter—as long as Santa hasn’t shown up on a surfboard yet. Cabaret and comedy at the highest level—one man, one barstool, countless punchlines: that’s Stephan Bauer.
Christmas is just around the corner. Quickly order the last Christmas presents, get the festive goose and pack the parcels. But where is the festive mood for the season of love? You can find it on the fourth Advent at 3:30 p.m. at the music pavilion in the spa park of Bad Orb. Together with Tom Jet, the spa company invites everyone to a communal Christmas sing-along in the picturesque setting of the over 100-year-old park grounds by the cultural venue. Who doesn’t know them, the Christmas carols “Oh, Tannenbaum,” “Silent Night” and “Every Year Again.” But few people sing the traditional songs and get into the Christmas spirit alone at home. All guests and residents of Bad Orb who enjoy singing and music are warmly invited to become part of a choir on Sunday, 20 December 2026, which will gather in the spa park of Bad Orb that day. For anyone who is not completely confident with the lyrics, the song texts will be shown on a screen. Refreshments will also be provided. With mulled wine and small delicacies, you can enjoy the anticipation even more. If the weather is unfavorable, the Christmas sing-along will take place in the garden hall of the concert hall.
On Sunday, December 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., the St. Martin Bad Orb Parish Choir and the "Cäcilia" Altenmittlau Church Choir invite you to a festive Christmas concert in St. Martin's Church.

27 years on tour, over 1.5 million enthusiastic concertgoers, and well over 1,500 concerts in Europe—these are truly remarkable figures that underscore the tremendous success of this choir. The gospel sensation “The BEST of Black Gospel” from the U.S. is returning to Germany again this year with its “Joy to the World Tour”! “The BEST of Black Gospel” brings together a selection of the best gospel singers from the U.S. The program, featuring these exceptional artists, showcases the most famous and beautiful gospel songs in a two-hour performance with instrumental accompaniment.

The singers have toured worldwide as soloists with choirs such as the Harlem, Golden, and Glory Gospel Singers. Some members of The BEST of Black Gospel have already collaborated with internationally successful artists such as Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, and Stevie Wonder, toured with them, or contributed to their albums. Other members of the choir have landed leading roles in musicals such as "Sist
For many years, the “Klingende Bergweihnacht” has been one of the most popular events of the pre-Christmas season, and this year it once again invites you to a festive evening of concert entertainment featuring stars of the Schlager and folk music scenes. This year’s revue centers on Patrick Lindner, one of the most popular and successful artists in the German-language Schlager scene.
