for the independent traveller - Bregenz, 2 July - 20 August 2000
 The overused description "unique" is entirely apt when speaking of Bregenz. The floating stage on Lake Constance is the setting for one opera each summer complemented by a second work staged in the indoor festspielhaus. Richard Jones and Antony Macdonald's arresting production of UN BALLO IN MASCHERA (Verdi) with some scenes conducted from a boat in the water was praised by critics as was the musical direction of Marcello Viotti.
UN BALLO IN MASCHERA will be revived in 2000 and a new production of Der Goldene Hahn (Rimsky-Korsakov) can be seen in the indoor house.
We advise clients to purchase hauskarten which allow access to the indoor auditorium where a concert version of the opera will be given in the event of bad weather.
A visit to the Bregenz Festival can happily be combined with Verona or other Italian festivals and equally with Munich.
