Operklosterneuburg

The operklosterneuburg is an Austrian opera festival held annually in the baroque imperial courtyard of Klosterneuburg Abbey in Lower Austria.

The festival was founded in 1993 by Alexander Hermann and Sonja Fletzberger and takes place in July and August.

In contrast to other Austrian summer festivals, the Klosterneuburg Opera follows a moderately modern line in its productions.

The natural acoustics of the Abbey courtyard enable singing without amplification or other technical manipulation.
