Joana Mallwitz - Momentum
Film in the Festspielhaus
Conductors captivate – since their job goes hand in hand with power and leadership, women were long left out. For several years this has been changing. Joana Mallwitz was elected Conductor of the Year by Opernwelt magazine in 2019. Her career skyrocketed, and since 2023 she has been at the head of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin. In 2026, she will take on the musical direction of the major Easter Festival opera at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra below the stage. A good reason to introduce the artist now, in the documentary film by Günter Atteln: Joana Mallwitz – Momentum.

As part of the "Columbus" project, we enable schoolchildren to attend Festspielhaus events for the price of 10 euros per ticket. Preparatory teaching materials are being produced in cooperation with the Karlsruhe Regional Council. The project is sponsored by GRENKE AG.
Can I exchange or return tickets?
Art is dynamic and artists are only people after all – musicians continue their development and rethink their programs, an opera diva can suddenly fall ill… In such cases we do our best to react in an accommodating way, but as a matter of principle, the program and performers are unfortunately subject to change; this is in the nature of things and does not entitle one to a refund of tickets already purchased. In addition to the ticket, we recommend that you purchase ticket cancellation insurance for € 5 per ticket. This insurance allows you to withdraw your ticket purchase in case of illness or accident preventing you from attending.

Where can I park at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden?
Depending on the event and the season, the parking situation at the Festival Hall can be problematic. In order to avoid the traffic rush after events, we recommend rounding out the evening with dinner at the Festival Hall. There are other parking garages nearby (between 5 and 15 minutes walking distance) that are best suited for concerts in the city center. Of these, the Wagener shopping center parking garage is the closest to the Festival Hall.
