After a break of two years, the Children's Opera Festival will take place in City Hall Park for the first time again this year: It offers the youngest guests of the Film Festival an easy introduction to the world of classical music. Every Friday afternoon, starting at 5:00 p.m., there is free admission to see an age-appropriate opera or children's music production.

Participation stations, fun games and other sporting activities offer plenty of opportunities for young music lovers to let off steam before the performance.

Side events at the town hall square

The Film Festival has even more highlights to offer.

Lovers of the "Dolce Vita" can look forward to a double treat every Wednesday with what is probably Italy's most popular aperitif: between 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. at the Aperol Happy Hour, every Aperol Spritz comes with a second one for free. Orders can be placed at all catering stands.

From Thursday to Saturday, live DJ @zamtheboi will be spinning from 5:00 p.m. on the Rathausplatz, ensuring a good atmosphere with excellent music - all in the wonderful ambiance between the Rathaus and the Burgtheater.

On August 13, talented musicians will get a stage at the Film Festival: From 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., the second Songwriter Session will take place in cooperation with Ever Artist, where four selected acts can present their songs in front of a large audience.
