Salon 1900

Impressionism in tones

Back to the roots. Pierre Boulez grew up with the music of the French Impressionists and the Second Viennese School of Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg. He also frequently conducted works by the Hungarian-Austrian composer György Ligeti, who said about himself and his compositional method: "I am like a blind man in a labyrinth, feeling his way around and constantly finding new entrances and ending up in rooms that he did not even know existed."

Are you younger than 30 and interested in classical music and dance? With our young ticket you can attend almost all classical music and dance events for only 10 euros per ticket. The young ticket can be booked in seat categories 4 and cheaper, two weeks before the event by telephone and in the webshop. The young ticket cannot be combined with other discounts and is not available for children's and youth events and all entertainment events.

As part of the "Columbus" project, we enable schoolchildren to attend Festspielhaus events for the price of 10 euros per ticket. Preparatory teaching materials are being produced in cooperation with the Karlsruhe Regional Council. The project is sponsored by GRENKE AG.

Can I exchange or return tickets?

Art is dynamic and artists are only people after all – musicians continue their development and rethink their programs, an opera diva can suddenly fall ill… In such cases we do our best to react in an accommodating way, but as a matter of principle, the program and performers are unfortunately subject to change; this is in the nature of things and does not entitle one to a refund of tickets already purchased. In addition to the ticket, we recommend that you purchase ticket cancellation insurance for € 5 per ticket. This insurance allows you to withdraw your ticket purchase in case of illness or accident preventing you from attending.

How does my ticket get to me?

You can choose between different delivery methods during the booking process:

By mail (note the additional service fee)
To pick up at the box office
Electronically: Print@home, QR code to your cell phone, Apple Wallet

Are surtitles visible in every seat?

Unfortunately, seats in rows 23 and 24 ground floor are restricted in this respect.
