Either you love it or you hate it – the opera. If the former applies, you will certainly enjoy all that Tirol has to offer: Here you can enjoy fabulous performances with singers of international calibre. Those less keen will probably prefer the catchy operetta performances.

The Innsbruck Festival of Early Music is highly regarded well beyond the borders of Austria for its high artistic standards and is a must-see for early music enthusiasts. Every year, the programme includes seldom performed but nonetheless enjoyable Baroque operas.
