After ten years, ‘THE MATTERHORN STORY’ is returning to Europe's highest open-air theatre in summer 2025. To commemorate the first ascent of the Matterhorn on 14 July 1865, the open-air theatre on the Riffelberg will reopen again after its original première in 2015. The play by author and co-director Livia Anne Richard focuses on pioneering spirit and the origins of tourism in Zermatt.
The main thrust and core messages of ‘THE MATTERHORN STORY’ will remain the same for the revival next summer. However, Richard has reserved the right to use her artistic freedom and change individual narrative strands in the play or tweak small nuances. The experienced author and director also aims to include new accents for people who have already seen the production ten years ago. The performances also feature a new musical concept.
The true story of the first ascent will be a moving experience. Look forward to a unique theatre event set against an impressive mountain backdrop.
Performances: 28 June to 23 August 2025 (no performances from 3 to 6 July 2025)
Capacity: 440 seats
Language: German and English spoken
