Prélude

With the renovations of the historic Reitschule in 2025, the following changes will occur for the supporting programme:

During the festival, preludes will take place in the castle courtyard at 5 pm and pre-concert-talks at 6 pm, when the weather is fine.

In case of bad weather, the prelude and pre-concert-talks alternate in the castle. You can choose between two different time slots: In the first option, the prelude begins at at 5 pm and the pre-concert-talk at 6 pm. In the second option, the pre-concert-talk begins at 5 pm and the prelude at 6 pm.

If you do not want to attend either the pre-concert-talk or the prelude, you have the possibility to visit the castle for free during the waiting time for the desired supporting programme and to get drinks and snacks at the catering station in the state rooms.

The prelude is included in the ticket price for the evening.

Tickets for the prelude and pre-concert-talk are available in the castle store one hour before the first event.
