Young Opera Schloss Weikersheim
Young Opera is being produced in Weikersheim since 1965 – initiated by Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland. Our name is our mission: Participating in our International Opera Academy young talents may experience a valuable stepping stone to the professional scene – in front of, on and behind the stage.
Weikersheim Castle has been appointed „World Meeting Center“ of Jeunesses Musicales International. During several summer weeks our opera project enfolds a world of its own: living and working together in the ideal venue of our „Musikakademie“ and surrounded by a picturesque historic little town and the landscape of the Tauber valley.
close up and dedicated
Every two years glittering open-air-performance enthuse more than 10.000 spectators in the enchanting setting of Schloss Weikersheim. Wether "Falstaff", the fervid "Carmen" or "La Traviata" – the audience loves the impulsively productions and the impetus the young singers bring characters of the opera repertoire on stage. In Weikersheim viewers don't need a lorgnette, here they are close up and dedicated when young talents are in the spotlight.
The Young Opera Schloss Weikersheim presents rising stars, artists at the beginning of their career. Many a singer, who today shines on international stages, once had his debut with a performance under the starry sky in Weikersheim.
