Autumn program 2025:
Schloß Rheinsberg
13th – 17th October 2025
Rheinsberg is a small town situated 2 hours North of Berlin. The Castle where the program will take place has a grand history of music and opera since Prussian King Frederic II (the Great) spent his time as crown prince at this wonderful place. Together with the composers Graun and Quantz, the French philosopher Voltaire and other famous artists of his period, at Schloß Rheinsberg he created his famous court of the Muses (“Musenhof”). Located amongst the lush forests and lakes of Brandenburg, this inspirational location in combination with the highly professional coaching of an experienced faculty will elevate your operatic artistry to the next level.
This program will focus on polishing the participant’s audition repertoire by enhancing their technical, dramatic and musical skills.
