Lake Thun Festival – Musical “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”
9 July to 23 August 2025
In summer 2025, the famous Hunchback of Notre Dame will come from the Seine in Paris directly to Lake Thun. The Lake Thun Festival will present the internationally successful Disney musical on the lake stage from 9 July to 23 August 2025 – newly staged in front of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
Storyline
A poignant story about love, courage and humanity
The musical tells the story of the bell ringer Quasimodo, who grows up isolated from the rest of the world in the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. He was taken in as a foundling by the evil archdeacon Frollo and has lived a lonely life in the tower ever since. When he sneaks into the annual Festival of Fools, he gets into trouble. Only the courageous Esmeralda stands up for him. When she is targeted by the vengeful Frollo, Quasimodo rescues her and hides her in the church tower. In the highly emotional finale, Quasimodo realizes what it means to be a monster and what it takes to become a human being.
