Whether it’s good or bad, art definitely provides us with nourishment. This is true for Vienna Festival, an Austrian event that covers many different forms of art. The festival has been running since 1951, when the city suffered some difficult times, and it’s clear that, like a phoenix, its tears healed not just the city, but the whole country You may also have heard the festival, which takes place every May, referred to as Wiener Festwochen, and its five-week programme has events which are a feast for the eyes and ears. Welcoming hundreds of musicians from twenty countries, the festival includes dance, opera, theatre and music concerts, and is as talked about in Europe as it is in Vienna. Now you’ve got one more reason to love the city that oozes history from every pore: the Vienna Festival.

The Vienna Festival opens its doors to audiences from across the world. For everything you need to know about the event, please visit www.festwochen.at
