A Place That Lets Music Shine
The Mirror Hall is the radiant centerpiece of the New Palace: 17 large wall mirrors, 33 ceiling chandeliers, and gilded stuccowork create a backdrop that carries baroque orchestral colors with special clarity. The Herrenchiemsee Festival describes the hall as a venue with incomparable acoustics and as a place where music and ambiance merge into a total work of art.

Vivaldi in Full Color Splendor
The program brings together the great sacred power of Gloria and Magnificat with concert pieces such as the Concerto for Violins and Strings in D Major RV 217 and the Concerto for Two Violins, Cello, and Strings in D Minor RV 565 from L'Estro Armonico. Particularly in historical performance practice, this music unfolds its delicate web of rhythm, brilliance, and dramatic orchestration.
