Neuschwanstein Castle to host Jonas Kaufmann and Pretty Yende concert

Tenor Jonas Kaufmann and soprano Pretty Yende are scheduled to perform an open-air concert at Neuschwanstein Castle on October 17, 2026. The program features a diverse selection of musical works, beginning with Richard Wagner’s “Lohengrin” to honor the historical connection between the composer and King Ludwig II.

The performance will also include Italian opera, such as Verdi’s “La traviata,” and Viennese operetta pieces by Emmerich Kálmán and Franz Lehár. The soloists will be accompanied by the Bodensee Philharmonie under the direction of Jochen Rieder, with direction by Andreas Morell.
