A magical family event full of wit, warmth, and stage magic
On July 4, 2026, the curtain will rise at the Munich Theater for Children for Otfried Preußler's classic The Little Witch. The production by Andreas Meyer tells the story of a young witch who prefers to do good rather than learn evil magic. The result is a stage adventure that captivates children aged 6 and up with imagination, pace, and heart. The performance lasts about 1:50 hours, including a break, and begins at 15:00.

The story with a fine moral spark
Preußler's material thrives on a clear conflict: those who want to be good do not always fit into rigid rules. This is precisely where the production draws its tension. The little witch is still young, practicing her magic skills, yet she already helps the chestnut man, the ox Korbinian, and her loyal raven Abraxas. On the Blocksberg, childlike empathy clashes with the cold order of the witch's guild. This blend of fairy tale, character theater, and pointed dramaturgy gives the stage experience depth.

Set design, costumes, and theater atmosphere
The Munich Theater for Children relies on a clear, vibrant visual language: Ernst von Amelunxen's stage design, the costumes by Hilde Hofmann, Odilia Schröter, and Ester Tigoue, as well as the masks by Sandra Eggener create a colorful, family-friendly world of images. Thus, a theater atmosphere emerges where the poetic power of the fairy tale combines with artisanal precision. Especially in children's productions, the balance of clarity and pace determines the audience's reaction - and here everything is designed for immediate closeness and understanding.

A classic with enduring radiance
Otfried Preußler's The Little Witch is one of the best-known children's book materials in German-speaking theater. The material has been adapted many times and repeatedly reinterpreted - as a fairy tale, as a musical version, or as a finely tuned family production. It is precisely this openness that makes the piece so lively: it addresses courage, exclusion, responsibility, and the power of good without ever sounding didactic. Applause often warms particularly well in such productions because children and adults experience the same story on different levels.
