Winter in Schwetzingen
The Barock-Fest at the Schwetzingen Palace Rokokotheater has been introducing audiences to rare Baroque operas for over fifteen years.
Each festival centres around a new production of one particular piece as well as offering high quality concerts in the rooms of the elector's summer residence.
Since 2019, artistic directors Ulrike Schumann and Thomas Böckstiegel have trained the spotlight of the Winter in Schwetzingen festival on the rediscovery of German Baroque composers.
