Prélude

With the renovations of the historic Reitschule in 2025, the following changes will occur for the supporting programme such as introductions and preludes as well as for the bad weather alternatives in categories 7 and 8 (lawn seating):

During the Summer Sounds, preludes will take place in the castle courtyard at 6 pm, when the weather is fine.

In case of bad weather, a prelude will take place at 6 pm and a repeat at 7 pm in the state rooms of Grafenegg Castle due to reduced capacity. If the first time slot is not available, you have the possibility to visit the castle for free during the waiting time for the second time slot and to get drinks and snacks at the catering station in the state rooms.

The prelude is included in the ticket price for the evening.

Tickets for the prelude are available in the castle store one hour before the first event.
