An evening about courage, conscience, and the power of musical theater
With The White Rose, an award-winning musical returns to the site of its Munich history: at the Deutsches Theater Munich. The preview on July 2, 2026 promises an intense stage experience between historical remembrance, emotional escalation, and gripping acting artistry. The work by Vera Bolten and Alex Melcher was presented in Munich in 2025 and later awarded seven prizes at the German Musical Theater Awards.

History as living dramaturgy
The musical tells the story of Sophie and Hans Scholl, their development from conformity to resistance, and the inner radicalism of a stance that dares more with words than with gestures. The production combines original texts, letters, and diary entries with modern musical language, creating a dramaturgy that brings together historical accuracy and immediate theater atmosphere. The Deutsches Theater explicitly describes the production as a piece about responsibility, justice, and humanity.

Music, light, and the tension of remembrance
The score works with great emotions, clear contrasts, and a soundscape that makes the escalation of the plot audible. In the theater hall of the Deutsches Theater, a special effect unfolds from this: historical material meets the precision of a modern musical house with around 1,500 seats. The stage becomes a resonance space for doubt, determination, and the moment when silence is no longer an option.
