"Winter in Schwetzingen" - this is the motto of the Baroque Festival taking place in the Rococo Theater at Schwetzingen Palace until February 4, 2024. Once again, the Heidelberg Theatre and Orchestra are devoting themselves to German Baroque opera, which has unjustly fallen into oblivion. With the opera "Nebucadnezzar" by Reinhard Keiser and a varied concert program, jewels of baroque music will be performed.
