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.
