The Haydneum Eszterháza Festival is unique above all because of its extraordinary setting: Esterházy Palace in Fertőd, where Joseph Haydn, one of the greatest composers in music history, lived and worked for more than two decades. In this historic setting, the festival brings the musical world of the 18th century to life, presenting works by Haydn and his contemporaries in historically informed performances by outstanding Hungarian and international artists. The encounter between the music and the spirit of the place makes the experience truly unique.
