The Name of the Rose - Burgfestspiele Stettenfels

THE NAME OF THE ROSE - written by UMBERTO ECO, read by millions, filmed with SEAN CONNERY - is far more than a crime story: a masterwork about power, religious conflict and the dark secrets of a medieval monastery. Now it comes to the open-air stage of Burgfestspiele Stettenfels in a gripping outdoor production.

A gloomy monastery in northern Italy, 1327: a string of mysterious deaths shakes the monastic community. Franciscan friar William of Baskerville and his novice Adson follow the killer's trail - and find themselves drawn into a web of intrigue, power struggles and fanatical faith. The deeper they dig into the monastery's hidden secrets, the more their own lives are at stake.

An evening of theatre that weaves crime with history - steeped in mysticism, accompanied by Gregorian chant, and performed right in the castle moat.
