Imperial Villa in Bad Ischl

Bad Ischl & Salzburg - Operetta Summer

The Merry Widow & Mozart Concert

In the charming imperial town of Bad Ischl, where Franz Lehár wrote his timeless works, the light-hearted spirit of operetta still lingers in the air today. For over fifty years, the traditional festival here has staged operetta with quality and verve. Each year, the Lehár Festival Bad Ischl treats its guests to operetta performances by a range of composers.
