Richard Strauss Days from June 24 to 27, 2021 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

The Richard Strauss Days will take place from June 24 to 27, 2021 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen under Corona conditions. The intensive examination, in particular of the little-known early work by Richard Strauss, is the principle of success: Various Richard Strauss world premieres are on the program and the music by Strauss is the focus at every event. World stars such as the Wagner singer Petra Lang (Photo © Ann Weitz), who will sing Ortrud at the Bayreuth Festival in summer 2022, or the young lyrical tenor, Julian Prégardien, are expected as well as the outstanding Camerata Salzburg orchestra and the cellist Raphaela Gromes with the pianist Julian Riem, who were awarded the OPUS KLASSIK Prize in 2020. The magnificent mountain landscape, which already inspired Strauss to create his timeless clay creations, once again offers the unique alpine backdrop for four days of concentrated music.

RICHARD-STRAUSS-FESTIVAL HEAD OF COMMUNICATIONS

Dietlinde Behncke was responsible for the analog and digital communication (press, marketing, sponsoring) of the Richard Strauss Festival 2019 and 2020 (postponed due to Corona). The press review of 2019 showed the great interest of leading media such as the FAZ, the world, Münchner Merkur, Süddeutsche Zeitung as well as numerous radio and television stations, or social media. For its 30th anniversary, the Richard Strauss Festival 2019 had the motto poetry. "The power of playful sound, the variety of meanings, the reality of the paradox - they are the foundations of poetry and free thinking," explained Alexander Liebreich, who in 2019 organized the Richard Strauss Festival for the second time as artistic director. The 26 individual events of the festival drew the international festival audience to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and took them out into the region - a continuation of the success principle “Top Music at Top Locations”: music in the immediate vicinity of the magnificent mountain landscape, which Richard Strauss used to create his timeless sounds inspired.
