Summer in Vorarlberg
There are countless facets to the cultural summer in Vorarlberg. Grand opera on the floating stage during the Bregenz Festival. Concerts at the Schubertiade Festival in Hohenems and Schwarzenberg, the Feldkirch Festival of old and contemporary music in the medieval town of Feldkirch.

Bregenz Festival
Aida is one of the most performed operas in the repertoire - a tale of a legendary love stronger than death, and a very modern parable about nationalism, belligerence and hatred of the enemy. Giuseppe Verdi's monumental opera Aida is returning to the spectacular Floating Stage at Bregenz in summer 2010 from July 21 to August 22.
