21st St.Gallen Festival
Overview
Intro
The St.Gallen Festival is the highlight of the season.
The festival opera is presented alternately as an open-air production in the St.Gallen monastery courtyard or in the Great House. The program is complemented by a comedy play in the Stadtpark, a dance piece and a varied series of concerts.
This year, Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Aida" will be performed in the Grosses Haus.
Aida is an Ethiopian princess who lives as a prisoner of war. She loves Radamès, the Egyptian army commander, who is actually her enemy and is supposed to marry the Egyptian king's daughter Amneris. But Radamès loves Aida. The young love becomes a pawn in the unscrupulous power politics of a cemented political system - and ends fatally. With Verdi's fascinating masterpiece directed by Ben Baur, this time Konzert und Theater St.Gallen is staging the festival at its own venue.
