Between the splendor of the Residence and lanterns of the Court Garden, the Mozartfest Würzburg 2026 transforms the city into a vibrant Mozart metropolis.

From intimate chamber moments to grand symphonies, a multi-day experience unfolds that connects sound, architecture, and audience in a celebration.

The main stage is located in the Kaisersaal of the residence, where open-air acoustics correspond with the legendary night music in the illuminated Court Garden. Here the festival character unfolds: finely curated artist lineups, side-stage formats in the city, traditional series, and the famous Kleine Nachtmusik outdoors.
