A Walk with a View Behind the Stage
The regular Festival Hall tour lasts 45 minutes and provides insights into areas that remain hidden from the audience. Stage or other work areas will also be shown if possible. For the visit applies: The house is only accessible outside of the festival and rehearsal periods, and admission is only possible with a guided tour. The appointment on September 28, 2026, is a special advantage because the late summer visit often shows the Green Hill in calmer light.
