The Lud­wigs­burg Castle Fest­iv­al – Inter­na­tion­al Fest­iv­al of Baden-Württem­berg is one of Germany’s old­est music fest­ivals. Every sum­mer, it brings con­certs, opera, dance and oth­er artist­ic formats to spe­cial ven­ues in Lud­wigs­burg and the sur­round­ing region – from the his­tor­ic Res­id­en­tial Palace and Castle Theatre to the For­um am Schlosspark.

Under the artist­ic dir­ec­tion of Lucas Reu­ter, the Schlossfest­spiele com­bine a grand clas­sic­al rep­er­toire with new con­cert formats, con­tem­por­ary per­spect­ives and cross-dis­cip­lin­ary pro­jects. These include sym­phon­ic con­certs and cham­ber music along­side opera pro­duc­tions in cooper­a­tion with renowned part­ners, baroque rep­er­toire with inter­na­tion­ally sought-after ensembles, as well as dance and cross-genre formats. The pro­grammes place works, artists and his­tor­ic­al con­texts in new rela­tion­ships and devel­op dis­tinct dram­at­ur­gic­al arcs from them.

Since 2026, Opheli­as Cul­ture PR has been provid­ing edit­or­i­al and dram­at­ur­gic­al sup­port to the Lud­wigs­burg Fest­iv­al. This includes the devel­op­ment and revi­sion of pro­gramme notes, the them­at­ic pro­fil­ing of indi­vidu­al con­cert even­ings, and edit­or­i­al sup­port for the fest­iv­al book and oth­er com­mu­nic­a­tion mater­i­als.
