The Concert for
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit

27 July 2023 (Thursday)

Live & Open Air in the castle courtyard. A unique concert evening for all fans of "The Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit" and "The Rings of Power". Visitors can expect the best music from J. R. R. Tolkien's filmed masterpieces in a live concert amidst the historic backdrop of Hohenzollern Castle. The Oscar-winning music of Howard Shore, Annie Lennox, Enya, Ed Sheeran and the "Rings of Power" series will be presented by the orchestra and choir of "The Shire," who are collaborating with the Ukrainian National State Orchestra on this tour: Khmelnitsky Academic Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra.

Tickets are only available via Eventim (no box office). There are 5 price categories  according to the 5 seating blocks. Within the seating blocks there is free choice of seats (reservation not possible). The shuttle bus between parking lot and the castle's entrance gate is included to the ticket. 

Shuttle bus: From 18:00-19:00 there will be a reconstruction phase for the concert at the castle. Therefore, from 17:00-18:30, the shuttle bus will only transport day visitors downhill (no uphill runs, not even for concert visitors). From 18:30-19:00 there will be no shuttle bus services. From 19:00, the shuttle bus transports concert-goers and, from 22:30, visitors to the Midsummer Night's Dream. The last departure to the car park is at 1:30 am.

Bonus: Midsummer Night's Dream!
Directly after the concert, Hohenzollern Castle opens the doors to its showrooms. Visitors can stroll through the royal chambers and around the castle grounds until midnight. In addition, there will be delicious cocktails and chilling music in the castle garden.

Tip: Even on warm summer days, the evenings can be coolish up at the Castle. We advise to come prepared with warm clothes/blankets/cushions. The event will take place in each case of weather. When it is raining we recommend to be prepared with a rain coat. Umbrellas are not allowed within the seating area because this would obstract the view of the other visitors.

NOTE: This event is organised and conducted by Star Entertainment GmbH Berlin (not by Hohenzollern Castle). Therefore, the regular ticket versions of Hohenzollern Castle (e.g. season card, free ticket, AlbCard, Schwarzwald Plus Karte etc.) are not valid for this event.
