Ludwigs Festspielhaus is a music theater on the shores of the Forggensee in Füssen. Neuschwanstein Castle on the opposite bank, the setting for two productions of this theater, can be seen from the terrace of the theater.
The house was designed as a "Musical Theater Neuschwanstein" by Josephine Barbarino and built between 1998 and 2000. On April 7, 2000, the theater opened with the world-famous premiere of the musical Ludwig II - Longing for Paradise by Franz Hummel (music), Stephan Barbarino (text and direction) and Heinz Hauser (stage design).
Barbarino had been pursuing the idea for a musical about Ludwig II, King of Bavaria in his own theater at the original location since the mid-nineties, from 1994/95 together with the Mannheim general manager Ulrich Schwab under the name Dreamking and from 1996 until the end of the First year 2000 together with cultural manager Felix Maria Roehl. With his function as board member of Ludwig Musical AG & Co. KG, the project on Ludwig II - Longing for Paradise was realized in the specially built "Musical Theater Neuschwanstein". Barbarino continued to be the artistic director and overall artistic director until the musical about King Ludwig had to be canceled on December 31, 2003 for obscure economic reasons, although 1.5 million people had attended the 1,506 performances by then, which corresponds to an average occupancy of around 75 % equals.
