An invitation from Thomas Hengelbrock

Festival Opening

When the term "musical salon" comes up, Pauline Viardot and Richard Pohl are sure to be mentioned in Baden-Baden. After her career, the French star soprano from the nineteenth century hosted a prominent salon in Baden-Baden featuring music and conversations. Composers met heads of state, writers, and entrepreneurs. Tout Paris came to the Black Forest, where of course "tout Europe" was already a guest. Richard Pohl continued this tradition after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, creating networks between the visual and performing arts in Baden-Baden. To open the festival, Thomas Hengelbrock is now inviting his surprise guests to the salon. Be sure to join us!
