A celebration for Archduke Charles II at his castle
When Archduke Charles II died in Graz in 1590 at the young age of 50, he left his eldest son a well-ordered society, a flourishing court culture, and a court orchestra shaped by Italian musicians. Archduke Ferdinand would later take all of this with him to Vienna as Emperor, but under his father, Graz remained firmly at the centre of all innovations. Styriarte recounts this most glorious chapter in the history of Graz Castle at the very site of the events, with a wonderful panorama of songs, dance music and readings, sacred works, and secular revelry.
