Content

Victory of light over the darkness

Concert in the Planetary Room followed by a picnic with music in the palace park (only in fair weather).

“The rays of the sun expel the night and annihilate the power of the hypocrite.” At the end of The Magic Flute, Sarastro proclaims the victory of light over the darkness of superstition and fanaticism. In the Planetary Room at Eggenberg Palace, Zefiro’s wind players thwart the machinations of the nocturnal queen with their entrancing music. Even with no singers at all, Mozart’s most popular opera is a magical play of the forces of good.

Ensemble

Ensemble Zefiro

The top Italian ensemble is one of the Styriarte's closest friends - it is impossible to imagine our season-long project of rediscovering Fux's operatic jewels without it. Zefiro concentrates on the music of the 18th century and is considered a worldwide reference especially in the concert repertoire with solo wind instruments.
