Calendar of events for Emsdetten

It’s all about speaking, as the title makes abundantly clear

. People are talking more and more; indeed, many are even speaking more frequently on specific occasions.

However, very few people seem to realise what’s actually happening to them when they speak, and you can certainly hear that.

So it’s high time we took a closer look at speaking.

To this end, we’ll explore various situations, cook up some listening exercises and take to the skies. Afterwards, we’ll see whether anything at all is going on in the sparsely furnished skull of a young man, under the yoke of puberty, and, if so, what.

And what all this has to do with girls and speaking.

A startling realisation here too.

Blimey!

In 2026, ICH & HERR MEYER look back with joy and gratitude on an
exciting and successful first decade in German-language children’s and family entertainment.

It all began quite by chance at a pony farm in the
with the song ‘Mein Pony heißt Luise’.
Since then, over the last ten years, the two artists have earned a special place in the hearts of many families.

ICH & HERR MEYER sing and rap about the little squabbles between siblings, the freedom of staying with Granny and Grandad, current topics such as AI, and even that very first flutter in the stomach.

ICH & HERR MEYER’s diverse, catchy pop songs for children aged 6–10 can be found not only on the playlists of children’s radio stations such as Radio TEDDY and TOGGO Radio, but also on television in the programme “SingAlarm” on ZDFkika.

With plenty of energy, humour and catchy tunes,
, ICH & HERR MEYER create unforgettable experiences for young and old alike.

The pure power of the voice: three opera tenors – unamplified, without microphones, without technical amplification

A concert evening that celebrates the essence of it all: the voice. With its 2026/2027 anniversary tour, ‘Die Himmlische Nacht der Tenöre’ looks back on 20 years of success on stage – whilst remaining true to its unique concept: opera singing in its purest form, completely unamplified, immediate and moving. At a time when live experiences are often dominated by technology, this format deliberately focuses on the opposite: absolute authenticity – carried by acoustics, the venue and artistic presence.

Three outstanding opera tenors, together with a finely tuned string ensemble, create a sonic world that requires no technical effects and is all the more powerful for it. The audience experiences not just music, but genuine, immediate sound quality – without filters, without electronic ‘amplification’.

In terms of programme, the anniversary tour returns once more to Bella Italia, the homeland of great opera composers and unforgettable melodies. Classics by Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, Ruggero Leoncavallo and Ernesto De Curtis form the musical core. Moments such as ‘La donna è mobile’ or ‘Passione’ become spine-tingling experiences thanks to this acoustic immediacy.

The anniversary tour’s programme brings together highlights from two decades with a festive repertoire centred around the turn of the year: great arias, timeless melodies and classic highlights that have been delighting audiences for generations. The three tenors are accompanied by a string ensemble and piano, which provide a transparent foundation that allows the voices to shine.

Whether in venerable churches or renowned concert halls: ‘The Heavenly Night of the Tenors’ is an invitation to experience opera and classical music once again as they were intended – as a pure interplay of voice, space and emotion.

“Listen up, folks, and mark my words: our bell has struck ten…” was once heard in the streets and alleys of Emsdetten when the night watchman made his evening rounds. Dressed in historical costume and equipped with a halberd, a lantern and a horn, the night watchman Bernard Bruch is now returning to Emsdetten. 

He takes his guests on a journey back to an Emsdetten of days long past and has many anecdotes from the 19th century to share – when Emsdetten was still a village, yet already had a good twenty inns and was beginning to develop economically. Passing by striking landmarks in the town centre such as the old town hall, the railway station, St Pankratius’ Church and the villas around the Volksbank and Sparkasse, he recounts his duties as a night watchman, but also about the lives of the tub-makers, how Emsdetten was connected to the railway, and brings the history and stories back to life.

Note for those attending with children: The guided tour is suitable for children aged 8 and over.

For children aged 4 and over!

Wuff is a lovely chap and always in a good mood. Maunz, on the other hand, is a diva straight out of a storybook. Usually, the two get on quite well. But today it’s been raining all day and Maunz finds Wuff’s unfailing optimism rather annoying. First, she teases him with a juice-drinking contest – which, of course, she wins. Then, ‘by chance’, a fairy turns up and grants three wishes – just for Maunz, of course. Next, she tries to scare Wuff with a spooky story. But nothing works. Wuff is simply still in a good mood. Slowly but surely, Maunz gets angry and starts a proper row. But she hadn’t reckoned with Wuff’s unexpected reaction!

Tickets can be purchased from 2.30 pm for €5 at the box office.

No booking is required.

The “Pindopp” children’s theatre series is presented by Stroetmanns Fabrik and supported by Kreissparkasse Steinfurt.

A play for children aged three and over!

Feder and plump Käthe live in the nesting box. The young hen Pünktchen wants to take the last free spot. But she’s not allowed to join in until she’s laid an egg. And then it happens:

Pünktchen’s first egg: particularly beautiful, large and covered in dots! But suddenly, the wonder is gone. Who has stolen it? Holmes, the farm dog, sets out on a detective mission. There are plenty of suspects, but none

wants to admit to it! Elisa the young cat loves playing with balls – perhaps with the egg too? Or was Shirley the ewe the thief? What was Kalle the frog doing when he sneaked away from the frog concert? Or

could Rosalinde the sow be the culprit?

Tickets can be bought from 2.30 pm for €5 at the box office.
