02 Bregenz Festival - A peek behind the scenes
With its production of G. Verdi’s opera Rigoletto in summer 2019 (also 2020), the Bregenz Festival once again delivered spectacular moments at Lake Constance! Especially the stage design by director Philipp Stölz has attracted international attention… And justifiably so! The Bregenz Festival was awarded the “Opus – German Stage-Design Prize” for Rigoletto. According to the jury’s praise, the design was a marriage of technology and sparkling artistic ideas. Join us for a 30-minute tour of the gigantic lakeside stage:

07 A Vorarlberg conductor with "Fidelio"
Christoph Waltz’ production of “Fidelio” was considered by many to be one of the great highlights of the ‘Beethoven Year.’ Due to the current situation, performances had to be cancelled. We are very happy that we were able to record the production during rehearsals. The conductor, Manfred Honeck from Vorarlberg, is in great demand worldwide. His brother, Rainer Honeck, who is concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, fulfils the role of 1st concertmaster. Watch extraordinary performances by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra here!

08 "Musik in der Pforte" mini concerts from the balcony
Inspired by the wonderful solidarity-building concept of balcony concerts, which has migrated up to us from Northern Italy, the organisers of “Musik in der Pforte” have decided to bring joy and poetry into people’s lives with daily 2-minute concerts. For this new virtual concert series, “Musik in der Pforte” musicians from the last few years have been invited to record a musical contribution on their balcony or in front of an open window. Share 2 minutes of your day with them.
