Festival

The opera and music festival ROSSINI IN WILDBAD was founded in 1989 to commemorate a memorable spa stay by Gioachino Rossini in Wildbad in 1856, which probably led to his famous last working period under the title "Les pechés de viellesse" ("Sins of my last age"), which he begun on German paper with the "Musique anodine" for his second wife Olympe Pélissier. She was responsable for the decision to visit Wildbad instead of other, more fashionable spas like Gastein.

Since the end of 1991, the festival has been under the artistic direction of Jochen Schönleber, who later was also bestowed with the title of an Intendant. For a few years the ROSSINI IN WILDBAD festival operated with the second title Das musikalische Sommerfest. For many years now it has been called Belcanto Opera Festival with its second international title. The festival is known worldwide for its new discoveries in the bel canto opera repertoire and for its singer discoveries, which have led to numerous CD and DVD productions of reference character.

The festival is organised by the town of Bad Wildbad. It receives support from the state of Baden-Württemberg and the district of Calw. The main sponsor is AWG in the district of Calw.

Festival

Das Opern- und Musikfestival ROSSINI IN WILDBAD wurde 1989 zur Erinnerung an einen denkwürdigen Kuraufenthalt von Gioachino Rossini in Wildbad 1856 gegründet. Vermutlich in Wildbad oder kurz danach begann die letzte große Schaffensphase des Maestro, die er "Alterssünden" (Pechés de la vieillesse) nannte. Das erste Werk, die "Musique Anodine", war seiner zweiten Frau Olympe Pélissier gewidmet, die Wildbads mildem Wasser gegenüber eleganteren Kurorten den Vorzug gegegeben hatte. In Wildbad besuchte Rossini ein Konzert und verhalf dem jungen Violinisten im Anschluss zu internationalen Karriere.

Seit Ende 1991 steht das Festival unter der künstlerischen Leitung von Jochen Schönleber, der später auch den Titel des Intendanten erhielt. Einige Jahre firmierte es mit dem zweiten Titel Das musikalische Sommerfest. Seit vielen Jahren heißt es nun mit internationalem Zweit-Titel Belcanto Opera Festival. Das Festival hat sich in wenigen Jahren einen weltweit Ruf für seine Neuentdeckungen im Belcanto-Opernrepertoire und für seine Sängerentdeckungen, die zu zahlreichen CD- und DVD-Produktionen mit Referenzcharakter geführt haben.

Das Festival wird von der Stadt Bad Wildbad veranstaltet. Es erhält Unterstützung vom Land Baden-Württemberg und vom Landkreis Calw. Hauptsponsor ist die AWG im Landkreis Calw.
