Intro

Every year in June or July, the monastery courtyard with its magnificent baroque cathedral in the St.Gallen Abbey District is transformed into an opera setting. And this is where the St.Gallen Festival takes place.

The St.Gallen Festival deserves to be a permanent feature on the calendar for all culture lovers. This cultural festival includes opera on the outdoor stage with in-house orchestra, concerts, dances and more. On one hand, it is backed by Konzert und Theater St.Gallen, which is known for its high quality productions and has an excellent reputation, while on the other hand, the cloister with its amazing atmosphere provides a near-perfect opera backdrop as well as a unique venue for the festival.
