Baroque tones under Munich's sky: Vivaldi in the Courtyard of the Residence
As the evening air sweeps across the historic courtyard and the first strings begin, the Courtyard of the Residence transforms into a stage for great emotions. On Friday, 07.08.2026, the Munich Open Air Summer brings Antonio Vivaldi's masterpiece The Four Seasons to Munich – live, seated, and in a setting that is perfect for baroque music.
A summer evening with program and precision
The concert starts at 8:00 PM, with entry beginning at 7:00 PM via Residenzstraße and the Apothekerhof. The program features the Nymphenburg String Soloists with solo violinist Angelika Lichtenstern. The performance focuses on that baroque program music for which Vivaldi is still celebrated today: clear thematic lines, vivid depictions of nature, and an orchestration that achieves maximum effect without grand gestures.
Historical backdrop, immediate closeness
The Courtyard of the Residence is one of the most impressive open-air venues in the city. The historical architecture, the open courtyard, and the concentrated seating arrangement create a live atmosphere where every bow stroke and every dynamic rise can be felt closely. It is precisely here that the concert experience gains a special tension: baroque refinement meets the summer evening mood.
Four seasons, four moods, one great arc
Vivaldi's most famous work depicts the change of the seasons with musical precision. From the bouncing spring to the shimmering heat of summer to autumn images full of movement and the clear winter sound, a sound image is created that still captivates today. For classical music fans, this is an evening of virtuosity, transparency, and an audience mood that intensifies with each movement.
