IN MEMORIAM:

D E A R F E S T I VA L G U E S T S ,
Cultural ties have linked Baden-Baden with Russia for over 200 years. The
story that began with a princess who became the tsar’s bride continues to this
day with the many residents of our city with Russian roots.
At the 2021 Easter Festival, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Chief Conductor
Kirill Petrenko will join us in remembering one of Russia’s most celebrated
composers, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The orchestra will not only be interpret
ing his opera Mazeppa, but also Rachmaninoff’s Francesca da Rimini. Differ
ent Russian schools existed during Tchaikovsky’s time as the vast empire, its
position straddling East and West, searched for an identity and aesthetic of its
own. Tchaikovsky himself drew inspiration from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart –
a connection we will also be exploring during the Festival.
At the 2021 Easter Festival, we will be building a bridge that spans a large
cross-section of European cultural history – an undertaking for which Baden-
Baden is the ideal venue. Welcome and Добро пожаловать to the 2021 Baden-
Baden Easter Festival!
