Festspielhaus stars 2025
From Bartoli to Villazón
The 2025 Baden-Baden festival year also promises many encounters with music celebrities outside of the seven festivals. To open the season, Bayreuth stars Camilla Nylund and Andreas Schager will sing an evening of Wagner and garnish it with operetta classics (12 January 2025). Shortly afterwards, pianist Kit Armstrong, once supported by Alfred Brendel, invites members of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra to an Expedition Mozart in Baden-Baden (17 January 2025).
Concerts like these are a regular feature of the new programme and ensure a reunion with stars such as Rolando Villazón (20 February 2025), Jonas Kaufmann and Diana Damrau (20 June 2025), Lang Lang and Cecilia Bartoli (31 October 2025) or Daniil Trifonov and Matthias Goerne (30 November 2025). And many other highlights can only be listed here by way of example, such as Thomas Hampson's song recital (1 November 2025) or a Gewandhaus Orchestra residency on 2 and 3 March 2025 - it's worth browsing the programme at any time of year.
