Bayreuther Festspiele
When the so-called interval musicians step onto the balcony of the Festspielhaus for the first time fifteen minutes before the start and play a specially composed fanfare, then you know: curtain up for the Bayreuth Festival! Richard Wagner’s Festspielhaus was built on the Green Hill between 1872 and 1875. It is only performed in every year from July 25th to August 28th and is a spectacular building for most visitors. This is entirely intentional, as Richard Wagner wanted it to be functional rather than ostentatious, following the ancient model of an amphitheater. The rows of seats rise evenly and - in addition to the outstanding acoustics due to the wooden construction of the auditorium and the orchestra pit, which is up to 12 meters deep - also provide an ideal view from almost all seats.

Bayreuth Baroque
Immerse yourself in the courtly magic of the Baroque! Founded in the most difficult artistic times, the Bayreuth Baroque Festival has now made a remarkable name for itself and will be staging its sixth edition in September. In 2025, ‘Pompeo Magno’, an unknown opera by Francesco Cavalli, will also be staged anew - immerse yourself in an exciting subject revolving around love, jealousy, desire and betrayal.

In the magnificent, lavishly restored Margravial Opera House, you can experience 18th century music history up close. Opened in 1748 and added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012, Bayreuth’s Wilhelmine Theatre is literally awakened from its museum-like slumber by the festival and brings its era back to life in a musical and sensual way.
Enjoy the great baroque voices of our time: the wonderful Julia Lezhneva, the countertenor and artistic director Max Emanuel Cencic, Franco Facioli and many more.

Each autumn, in the charming city of Bergamo, a festival dedicated to Gaetano Donizetti takes place. The composer’s rarest operas are presented in two magnificent Italian-style theatres: the Teatro Donizetti and the Teatro Sociale.

The 2026 edition of the Donizetti Opera Festival offers a fresh and focused perspective on the early years of the composer’s theatrical career. By concentrating on the period 1826–1828, the festival invites audiences to rediscover two major opere serie, Alahor in Granata and L’esule di Roma, alongside the theatrical spirit and comic vitality of Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali, presented in its expanded 1831 version.

Through this carefully curated programme, the festival highlights the emergence of Donizetti’s distinctive style—poised between classical heritage, dramatic intensity and a keen sense of theatre—offering an engaging immersion in early nineteenth-century Italian opera.

Budapest, the ‘Pearl on the Danube’, meanders along both sides of the river and is divided into the flat Pest and the somewhat hilly Buda. Visitors will find all the main sights on the banks of the Danube - the famous Gellért Hotel with its thermal baths, the castle hill with its royal palace, the university or the rocky Gellért Hill with its Statue of Liberty and citadel. In the south of Pest, the Palace of Arts was built in 2005 and is home to the Museum of Modern Art with works by Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol as well as the Bela Bartók Concert Hall, which has since made a name for itself with its excellent acoustics.
The magnificent State Opera House, opened in 1884 by Franz Joseph I as the Royal Hungarian Opera House, was ordered by the king to remain smaller than the Vienna State Opera - but he allegedly forgot to specify that it should not be any more beautiful than its Viennese counterpart.

For a long time, Dresden was known as the “Florence of the Elbe”. Destroyed in the final days of the Second World War, it is today one of Germany’s most beautiful cities, with many of its historic monuments restored to their former splendour. This remarkable revival is reflected in its UNESCO World Heritage recognition and in the treasures it preserves, notably the magnificent Zwinger, home to five museums including the renowned Old Masters Picture Gallery. Other highlights include the Albertinum, the splendid Green Vault, the castles of Dresden Royal Palace and Pillnitz Castle, as well as magnificent Baroque churches such as the Hofkirche, the Frauenkirche and the Kreuzkirche. The banks of the Elbe further enhance the city’s unique romantic atmosphere.

A symbol of the city, the Semperoper ranks among the finest opera houses in Germany. The current building is the result of a meticulous and dazzling reconstruction of the nineteenth-century theatre designed by architect Gottfried Semper. The house gained international renown through the premieres of operas by Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner.

The Frauenkirche is also a remarkable concert venue, celebrated for both its exceptional acoustics and architectural beauty.

The 2026–2027 season combines great masterpieces with contemporary creations. Among the new productions in the first part of the season are Un Ballo in Maschera by Giuseppe Verdi, staged by Angela Denoke, and Die lustige Witwe (The Merry Widow), the iconic Viennese operetta by Franz Lehár, directed by Dirk Schmeding.

The season will also feature numerous concerts by the Staatskapelle Dresden.

Just outside Stockholm, music lovers will find a real gem: the Slottstheater Drottningholm, one of the best-preserved baroque theaters in Europe. It is located on the grounds of Drottningholm Palace - still the residence of the Swedish royal family today - and was built by the architect Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz for the Swedish Queen Luise Ulrike of Prussia as a successor to a theater that burned down in 1762. The original stage technology has been preserved and the theater has a unique collection of 30 stage sets. This summer, a Lully opera will be presented for the first time: "Armide". Since its premiere in 1686, it has been considered the epitome of musical and poetic creativity and a highlight of the French Baroque.

Fascinating and full of charm, Florence is an outstanding city of art that has preserved its rich architectural heritage, a testament to its role as a political and cultural beacon of Europe from the late Middle Ages onward. Music has always held a central place in the city’s history, as demonstrated by the birth of opera in 1600 with Jacopo Peri and Euridice, the earliest opera to have survived to the present day.

Opened in 2011, the Teatro del Maggio has given new impetus to Florence’s musical life. This autumn, the Orchestra and Chorus of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino will take centre stage under the baton of distinguished conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Thomas Guggeis and Daniele Gatti. On the operatic front, particular highlights include the world premiere of Romanzo Criminale by Nicola Piovani, based on the novel by Giancarlo De Cataldo, as well as a new production of Simon Boccanegra by Giuseppe Verdi, staged by Alex Ollé and La Fura dels Baus.

A city of music, with its symphony orchestra, opera house and numerous concert venues, Geneva is also a city of theatres, museums and art galleries. Its lake, magnificent parks and splendid scenery dominated by Mont Blanc make it an exceptionally pleasant destination.

The 2026–2027 season of the Grand Théâtre de Genève is entitled “Setting Course for New Worlds”. A new season, a new direction and a new horizon begin with the arrival of Alain Perroux at its helm.

Genoa, the “Superb,” immerses you in history with its narrow, authentic streets, its magnificent palaces listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the majestic San Lorenzo Cathedral, with its striking black-and-white striped marble façade dating back to 1118. Every step reveals the history and grandeur of this fascinating maritime city.

The prestigious Teatro Carlo Felice, renowned for its exceptional acoustics, promises unforgettable musical evenings. To extend your stay, Genoa is conveniently close to Turin and Milan, both easily accessible for a full Italian experience.

Glyndebourne is second to none! By the time the champagne corks pop in the festival’s beautiful gardens during the interval, you’ll agree. Since its inception, performances have begun in the afternoon, as the extended interval picnic has become a tradition. The audience itself gives the legendary private opera on Lord Christie’s estate the stylish, noble Glyndebourne Festival cult status and celebrates the British way of life with fine food and champagne. For up to 1 ½ hours, guests dine nonchalantly in tuxedos and evening gowns in the picturesque park, a unique atmosphere in the heart of the county of East Sussex, where the opera intermission becomes part of the production.
Even 90 years after the first edition, the musical enjoyment is in no way inferior to the culinary one. With Bizet’s "Carmen" and Lehár’s "Merry Widow", two exciting new productions await you, framed by Mozart’s classic "The Magic Flute", Handel’s "Giulio Cesare" and Wagner’s "Tristan" and "Isolde". Immerse yourself in the very special flair, because Lord Christie’s maxim for his festival is still valid today: "Not just the best that we can do, but the best that can be done anywhere."

Lord Menuhin, the founder of the Gstaad classical music festival bearing his name, is still remembered as a world famous violin child prodigy, conductor and humanist. His remarkable humanity, his multi-faceted artistic gifts and his perpetual curiosity were the hallmarks of his creative endeavours. It was in 1957 that this honorary resident of Saanen founded the legendary festival in the Saanenland. The promotion of young talent was just as important to him as playing music amongst friends.

Hamburg, nicknamed “the Beauty of the North” due to its many canals, is a city brimming with artistic and architectural creativity.

In the former Île district, you can stroll through the pedestrian streets of the Carré, lined with boutiques and filled with a warm atmosphere, before reaching the Saint Paul’s Cathedral and its splendid Gothic cloister.

On 4 November 1820, the Royal Theatre of Liège was inaugurated by King William I of the Netherlands, after being funded through a public subscription. Since then, it has earned a strong reputation and established itself as a major player on the international stage.

The 2026–2027 season, entitled “Powers, Desires”, explores two inseparable forces that run through both operatic history and human passion. From the political power of Macbeth, opening the season in a production by Stefano Poda, to the icy sovereignty of Turandot, which will close the season in a new ending entrusted to Jean-Romain Vesperini.

We invite you to enhance your stay in Wallonia with an evening featuring the distinguished Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège under the baton of its music director Lionel Bringuier.

London, a cultural capital par excellence, is home to exceptional museums and exhibitions. Contemporary art galleries such as the Tate Modern complement more traditional institutions including the National Gallery and the British Museum. Music lovers are equally well served, as the Royal Ballet and Opera alone justifies a journey. This great opera house masterfully balances tradition and modernity, a harmony perfectly illustrated by its Victorian façade and contemporary interior design.

The Royal Opera House presents a 2026–2027 season combining major new productions with powerful revivals.

Among the highlights of the first part of the season are the conclusion of Barrie Kosky’s Ring cycle with Götterdämmerung, a new production of Parsifal directed by Evgeny Titov, and a reimagined Così fan tutte by Netia Jones.

A refined contrast between London’s energy and the serenity of the English countryside.

Lucerne’s charm consists of a mix of luxury and nostalgia, the surrounding mountain peaks and the Swiss hospitality that is still practised in Lucerne. As always, the picturesque city on the shores of Lake Lucerne welcomes great soloists, the best orchestras and the most renowned conductors to the summer festival, who virtually ‘hold the baton’ night after night. The KKL, built by Jean Nouvel, is the home and architectural centrepiece of the sound magic. Its modern music hall with its outstanding acoustics in the so-called ‘shoebox format’ and 1900 seats is one of the best concert halls in the world - pure listening pleasure is guaranteed!

As soon as the summer festival closes its curtain each year, Lucerne becomes a little quieter - but not silent. In addition to concerts in the modern ‘Schuhschachtel’ hall of the KKL, home to the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and renowned for its acoustics, the Lucerne Theatre has been presenting opera, dance and theatre in an intimate setting for over 180 years: the auditorium has less than 500 seats. ‘Peter Grimes’ and ‘The Magic Flute’ will celebrate their premieres in the classicist theatre building under opera director Ursula Benzing until the end of the year; in the new year, the wonderful bel canto sounds of The Love Potion will follow alongside an adaptation of Bizet’s fiery Carmen.

Experience the special charm of picturesque Lucerne, especially in winter, when the (festively) illuminated Old Town, with a bit of luck under a white winter blanket, invites you to take a stroll.

The small medieval town of Macerata is fortunately still a charming insider’s tip in the quaint and from mass tourism spared Marche. With its picturesque city center, numerous churches, palaces and other Renaissance buildings, it fulfills the longing of many Italian dreams. The landmark of the city is the Sferisterio, an open-air theater built in neoclassical style. It was originally built in 1821 for the "Pallone col bracciale" (a historical ball game) and for the bullfights that were popular at the time. However, just 100 years later, a spectacular performance of "Aida" was heard for the first time in this impressive venue. Since 1967, the Sferisterio has now found its destiny and thus comes to life every July and August during the Macerata Opera Festival: its excellent acoustics and incomparable Mediterranean ambience under a twinkling starry sky make Macerata a summer fairy-tale place that magically attracts opera lovers from all over the world.

The Marches region welcome every year two quality and complementary Festivals.
The Pesaro Festival, dedicated to G. Rossini, is an intimist event that gathers every year music-lovers passionated by his work.
The distinctive atmosphere is certainly linked to the strings between the composer and his hometown.
The Macerata Festival is more dedicated to the great classics of the Opera, with its imposing half-ellipse arena, a majestic setting for majestic productions.
From Macerata, you will reach Pesaro in only one hour and a half by car.

Madrid, a cosmopolitan and culturally vibrant capital, boasts one of Europe’s most remarkable historic centres, where grand monuments, old quarters, charming streets and colourful atmospheres intertwine. Take time to discover the many facets of this city, defined by a strong cultural identity, from the superb collections of its renowned museums—such as the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Museo del Prado and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía—to its distinctly lively and festive spirit.

An evening at the Teatro Real will crown your stay with unforgettable musical moments. Located opposite the imposing Royal Palace of Madrid, the theatre was commissioned by Queen Isabella II of Spain, hence its name “Real.” Elegant in its simplicity, this intimate venue was inaugurated in 1850. Since its reopening in 1997, following a challenging period, it has regained its former splendour and its reputation for excellence.

The 2026–2027 season promises to be particularly distinguished, bringing together major works of the repertoire and leading artists. It opens with Manon Lescaut, absent from Madrid for over a century, featuring Sondra Radvanovsky and Saioa Hernandez.

You may also wish to combine your stay with nearby art cities such as Venice and Florence.

Milan is in. This is shown not only by the steadily growing number of visitors, but also by the increasing number of “repeaters”. The EXPO has given the big financial and economic metropolis the necessary impetus, so that the city now also inspires in the leisure and cultural sector. The connection to lifestyle and fashion, but also to Italian opera, is unmistakable. Giuseppe Verdi and his grandiose legacy are closely linked to the city, and you will come across his traces again and again on beautiful walks.
Thanks to three commercial airports, the city is well connected to Europe and worth a visit at any time of the year. The huge and spacious cathedral square, the magnificent cathedral itself as well as the famous Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II are only some of the many sights that one should definitely have seen.
But what would Milan be without the legendary Teatro alla Scala? The unique opera house was and still is an attraction for big voices and big opera. Here, one can experience stars from all over the world evening after evening - perfectly cast up to the supporting roles. In the extremely elegant ambience of marble, velvet and gold, the audience likes to present their evening attire - the Scala is one of the last music temples in Europe, where one still likes to make “bella figura”.

Bergamo, the picturesque Lombard city at the foot of the Alps, welcomes its visitors with its beautiful old town, enthroned on a hill, and immediately immerses you in bygone times. In honour of Gaetano Donizetti, born in 1797, the city’s most famous son, Bergamo celebrates “its” bel canto composer every year. The wonderful performances in the Teatro Donizetti, including many musical rarities, have always been renowned for their high musical quality and promise a very special atmosphere. This year, in addition to the lesser-known and perhaps all the more exciting works Belisaro, Marino Faliero"and Le nozze in villa, the programme also includes one of his most popular operas: La fille du régiment.
