To our Festival guests: 2020 – what a year! We are living in challenging times, protagon- ists amid a turning-point in history. My team and I are focusing on the practical paths through the great transformation – as a vital question for mankind. The Corona pandemic and the climate crisis are making us urgently aware that we all bear responsibility for one another – and for subsequent generations. Ludwig van Beet hoven, born 250 years ago, constantly exhorts us to act: »Art demands of us that we shall not stand still«. We take him at his word and ask »Quo vadimus?« The 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations serve us as a compass for our voyage. In search of harmony and solidarity, we all came to a standstill. We are now moving on, guided by two principles: hope and responsibility. We are planning the 2021 Ludwigsburg Festival with caution, foresight and flexibility, in order to make it possible despite the pandemic. After a long winter, we look forward to spring and summer and a »festival of the arts, democracy and sustainability« linking these two seasons. We have devised numerous Corona-compliant formats, in which the splendid baroque Palace with its cour d’honneur will resound with music and dance. Our Festival Centre is open to all as a »resonance cham- ber« for reflection and forethought, for listening and for dialogue. For the first time, three fantastic female conductors – Oksana Lyniv, Barbara Hannigan and Alondra de la Parra – will conduct concerts by the Festival Orchestra. They invite us to experience what com- posers such as Mahler, Beethoven and Schoenberg have to say to us in our present turbulent times. Stravinsky’s Sacre will offer a cathartic reflection on this period when we have had to make so many sacri fices. We present the work in two diametrically opposed dance interpretations: as a solo by flamenco dancer Israel Galván, and in a choreography by Pina Bausch with a 30-strong ensemble from all over Africa. With The Day, New York dance legend Lucinda Childs comes for the first time to the International Baden-Württemberg Festival. In the oratorio Il diluvio universale, the story of Noah’s Ark reminds us of our global awareness and the conservation of our planet. The 2020 season was largely hors de combat; for 2021 we plan a Festival hors concours. Expect surprises … Jochen Sandig Intendant
