Children’s Musical ‘Der Notenbaum’ at the Planetarium Jena

Jena, July 29, 2026 – The children’s musical “Der Notenbaum” brings a charming musical narrative for families to the dome stage of the Zeiss-Planetarium Jena.

The Secret of Music and a Prominent Narrator

The plot revolves around a magical tree from which musicians pick fresh notes every year. When the ‘Notenbaum’ (note tree) suddenly falls ill, concerts and songs worldwide are at risk of falling silent. A nasty gnome might be behind it – but will the musicians succeed in saving it? The piece was written by Inge and Wolfram Eicke as well as Dieter Faber. A special highlight: author Wolfram Eicke personally guides the audience through the performance as the narrator.
