Winter Festival
WINTER MAGIC
Whoever has seen it once will never forget it. Admittedly, you need a bit of luck: to experience freshly-fallen snow in the evening, in Lichtentaler Allee, as the park lighting is reflected in the glittering snow crystals. It is for moments like this that the word "magic" was invented in the first place. Such magic is more easily accessible in the Baden-Baden Christkindelsmarkt, with its local and Alsatian specialties, against the backdrop of the snow-covered peaks of the Black Forest mountains. A short walk from the Christkindelsmarkt, the Festspielhaus welcomes you with a sparkling Christmas tree and a festive winter festival program. The centerpiece will be a sumptuous ballet production of Cinderella with the Bayerisches Staatsballett. The Wiener Philharmoniker will also present Brahms with Igor Levit and Christian Thielemann. Heartwarming, and with Cinderella, something for the whole family.
