SEPTEMBER FESTIVAL

For the first time, the 2021 opera season opened this year with the September Festival. With its Brunnenhof Festival the programme invited everybody to join in and ramble around, and offering more affordable tickets, tempted curious first-timers with entertaining one-act shows. It also brough the successful Opera for All format past Munich’s city limits to Ansbach.
