The Schwerin Castle Festival has not only established a firm place for itself in the cultural summer of the north, but also in the top field of German opera festivals. Critics and audiences are delighted. The "Schwimmende Wiese" (Floating Meadow), the fairy-tale castle courtyard, the natural open-air museum in Mueß and the venerable Großes Haus am Alten Garten are tailor-made for the varied productions.

Schwerin enchants
But many guests also like to look beyond the edge of the stage. Before the performance, they book a dinner nearby, a tour of Lake Schwerin or a guided tour of the old town. Some also stay a few days, roaming the grandiose palace and the 1000-year history of the state, strolling through the magnificent gardens and the ducal art collection, visiting the sky-high cathedral and the small galleries around the market.
