donauFESTWOCHEN: Kick-off - Opening of the 32nd donauFESTWOCHEN

Philipp Blom, keynote speech

The renowned historian, philosopher and Spiegel bestselling author is not only the librettist of this year's musical theater production at Schloss Greinburg, but also brings a contemporary perspective as the keynote speaker at the opening.

Passacaglia della vita

Cheeky, full of joie de vivre and unbridled passion, the Ensemble Cembaless performs a hymn to life: The formation from Germany, known for its experimental and sensitive arrangements, explores the extreme poles that human existence offers - alternating in emotionality.

Music by Stefano Landi, Bailly, Andrea Falconiero, Tarquino Henry le Merula
