An evening full of Spanish sound colors: poetry, passion and Mediterranean warmth with works by Falla, Albéniz, Halffter and Bizet - from sparkling intensity to rousing Carmen fire.

This program unites all the fascination of Spanish music: Manuel de Falla combines folk song and art music, Isaac Albéniz sketches musical landscapes full of poetry, Ernesto Halffter contributes a lively homage to Spain, and Georges Bizet's rousing Carmen Suite, enriched by the story from the perspective of Carmen herself, brings tragic passion, drama and Mediterranean warmth to life with fiery intensity.

Isaac Albéniz (1860 - 1909)

Aperitif & 3-course festive menu, incl. mineral water (discounts for children and young people). The price is due to the greater expense for the external catering and the rental of the Villa St. Charles Hall. It is a unique experience to be pampered with culinary delights in the Wienersaal and/or Gobelin Room.

How to get there: S3 or Voralpenexpress to Meggen Zentrum or bus 24 to the Kapelle stop; from there approx. 4-7 minutes' walk. By car (destination: Benzeholzstrasse 41): there are a limited number of parking spaces in front of St. Charles Hall; there are public parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the parking facility (Fridolin-Hoferstrasse; along the lake, by the outdoor pool). The underground car park in the village center is also available (5 to 8 minutes' walk from there) via Kapelle / Benzeholzstrasse.
