Eisenstadt, The City of Joseph Haydn
Eisenstadt, the capital of the federal province of Burgenland since 1925, is situated on the southern slopes of the Leitha Mountains. Surrounded by a great number of vineyards, Eisenstadt is the smallest federal capital of Austria with only 13,250 inhabitants.
The resident atmosphere of the Festival sets the program apart from the typical European "tour." Participants live in Eisenstadt, where Haydn served the Hungarian nobility for more than thirty years. There is an opportunity to truly get to know this quaint town which fostered the genius of Haydn, Beethoven and others. In no time at all, participants are calling Eisenstadt their "home away from home." |
