On December 10, the Festspielhaus will be transformed into a giant ensemble – with music in every corner. Dancing and sounds everywhere: not just in the hall, but also in the foyer, in the corridors and on the stairs. At The Festspielhaus Resounds, the gates open to friends, neighbors, and all guests who simply want to drop by. 25 years of the Festspielhaus: be there when the whole building comes alive for you!

The time when wishes can come true returns again every year: at Advent, when people in Baden-Baden stroll through the Christkindlsmarkt and think about how they can make their loved ones happy. Our proposal: Cinderella with the Bayerische Staatsballett, choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon. The Briton knows how to entertain: his art is at home not only in the ballet theater, but also on Broadway. His majestic version of the fairy-tale ballet to music by Sergei Prokofiev enchants us with its stunning stage 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.
