2016

The festival celebrated its quarter of a century, during which it won the leading position among classical music festivals in the country and abroad. During the twenty-fifth year, a number of exceptional artists, again led by the main star, tenor Juan Diego Flórez, who opened the festival with an opera gala concert, once again performed. This was preceded by a festival prologue to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary – a musical-pictorial fantasy called Vivat festival! taking place on the southern castle terraces. From the opposite banks and bridges, visitors could admire video mapping or a water fan, on which the stars who have performed at the festival so far were projected.
