The Spirit of Christmas

For 25 years, The Spirit of Christmas has been touching its audience and, with over 800,000 attendees, is considered the most successful Christmas musical in the German-speaking world.

Based on Charles Dickens’ world-famous story “A Christmas Carol,” the musical captivates audiences with its emotional depth and timeless relevance. Moving ballads, rousing ensemble songs, and classic Christmas carols transport the audience to 19th-century London.

The musical by producer and composer Dirk Michael Steffan offers a completely new stage adaptation of the world-famous classic: At its heart is a mysterious angel who takes the cynical businessman Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey through time behind the scenes of his own life.

With the help of the ghost of his deceased friend Jacob Marley, Scrooge realizes that only the power of love can change his life. A message that has lost none of its significance, especially during the Christmas season.

Outstanding character actors, a vocally powerful ensemble, impressive choreography, and the elaborate set and costume design make this musical an unforgettable experience for young and old alike.

Set against a magical, Christmassy atmosphere, “A Christmas Carol” tells a love story that will move everyone in the audience.

“The Spirit of Christmas”—a festive musical full of hope, reflection, and heart!
