Baden Casino Operetta at Morbisch Baden Rosarium
The beautiful Spa Town of Baden is situated only 16 miles from Vienna. To the North and West are the Vienna Woods, and a luscious wine growing area of over 150 vineyards lies to the South and East. Baden has a very elegant and serene atmosphere all of its own. There is a rich variety of palaces and mansions; elegant shops and cafes; glorious parks and gardens; healing baths and springs and many sports and leisure facilities.
Music is everywhere in Baden - Beethoven, Strauss and Lanner all had villas here. Mozart, Liszt, Carl Ziehrer and Karl Millocker were all frequent visitors. Beethoven's residence is now a museum and amongst its treasures is the composer's own pianoforte, which is still kept in playing order and visitors are sometimes invited to play!
Each summer the famous Baden Operetta Festival draws thousands of visitors from around the world. Operettas are performed in the "Summer Arena", a traditional style theatre dating from 1906. The building has a unique feature that makes it a perfect venue for beautiful warm summer evenings - the roof is made up of sliding glass panels that can be rolled back so that the auditorium is open to the stars!
The Operetta programme for summer 2010 is
"La Vie Parisienne" by Jacques Offenbach
and
"Wiener Blut" by Johann Strauss II
The 24 piece Kur Orchestra also performs free open air concerts of light classical music, including operetta selections, in the Kur Park 3 or 4 days a week throughout the summer (weather permitting).
