Castle Festival 2025: Brilliant opening with opera and stars!
An exhilarating festival is underway: The Thurn and Taxis Castle Festival in Regensburg offers a colorful program for all culture enthusiasts from July 18th to 27th, 2025. Top-class artists and a fairytale backdrop make the event at St. Emmeram Castle a very special experience. The festival series opened on Friday with the celebrated opera “Nabucco” by Giuseppe Verdi, which was impressively staged by the National Theater in Brno. You get goosebumps just thinking about the first notes!
But the holidays aren't just about the most beautiful melodies in the opera world. With stars like Anastacia on July 22nd and Italian rock legend Gianna Nannini on July 23rd, there is something for every musical taste. The grand finale on the last evening on July 27th also promises a musical highlight: Anna Netrebko and star tenor Yusif Eyvazov will ensure an unforgettable conclusion.
Special atmosphere in the castle garden
What exactly makes this place so special? The answer doesn't just lie in the world-class performances. In the castle garden, a menu is offered with great attention to detail that will make the hearts of gourmets beat faster. With a refreshing Aperol Spritz in your hand, you can get in the mood for the evening and enjoy the unique scenery.
But as with everything that is exciting, there is a little shadow here too. Gloria von Thurn und Taxis' guests have been a topic of discussion in public lately. The festival is certainly a meeting place for all kinds of personalities, and not all of them attract positive attention.
