Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik 2025

 «Who pulls the strings?» – the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music 2025 asks the question of fate and self-determination. At the heart of the programme from 25 July to 31 August are two operatic rediscoveries, «Ifigenia in Aulide» by Antonio Caldara and «Ifigenia in Tauride» by Tommaso Traetta, which are both prequel and sequel to each other. As usual, the cast of Barockoper:Jung, Antonio Vivaldi's «Il Giustino», is largely made up of participants from last year's Cesti competition. In addition to the operas and the Ambraser Schlosskonzerte, the programme includes other exceptional concerts that reflect the diversity of early music. Renowned artists such as Andreas Scholl, Giovanni Antonini and Christina Pluhar are featured on the programme, as well as Le Concert de la Loge and other celebrated musicians. Numerous free events will complement the concerts in various venues throughout the Alpine city. Ottavio Dantone as musical director and the Accademia Bizantina as orchestra in residence are back for a second time, while Eva-Maria Sens as artistic director is in charge of the entire programme.
