Schwerin Castle Festival

Opera beneath the stars against a romantic backdrop of fairytale turrets and spires: the soul-soaring experience that is the Schwerin Castle Festival. Every summer, a well-known opera is staged here for several weeks, forming the centrepiece of a festival that draws up to 70,000 visitors. Launched in 1993 as a niche event for opera enthusiasts, Schwerin Castle Festival has since become an internationally renowned fixture in the cultural calendar.
