A spooky snowy landscape in the middle of summer and the Wolf's Gorge as a musical horror trip: this summer, star director Philipp Stölzl transforms the Bregenzer Festspiele lake stage into a romantic world of the soul for Carl Maria von Weber's opera Der Freischütz. As orchestra in residence, the Wiener Symphoniker will provide the music at the festival in Vorarlberg for the 78th time.

　　The designated chief conductor of the Wiener Symphoniker, Petr Popelka, makes his Bregenz debut in the last season. In addition to works by Robert Schumann and Carl Maria von Weber, he will also perform the Austrian premiere of a composition by Thomas Larcher. In their other symphonic concerts in Bregenz, the Wiener Symphoniker will be conducted by Giedrė Šlekytė (she will be joined by cellist Kian Soltani) and Enrique Mazzola (he will play with clarinettist Sabine Meyer).

　　Bregenz has long since become a second home for the Wiener Symphoniker. The musicians traditionally show how much they feel at home in Vorarlberg on "Wiener Symphoniker's Day", the musical prelude to the festival. Ensembles from the orchestra will perform in many places in the city and celebrate together with the people.
