Children’s Concert Performance "Rapunzel"

Where else could a fairy tale come to life if not in the garden of Rundāle Palace, where roses scent the height of summer and the breath of antiquity meets music? The Early Music Festival invites families with children on a musical adventure inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “Rapunzel”.

The sound of ancient instruments - bagpipes, early oboes and flutes, viola da gamba and harpsichord - will carry listeners back to the time when this music delighted royal courts. Fairy tale and music will weave together into a single story of courage, hope and devotion, allowing you to meet Rapunzel, the brave Prince and the mysterious Witch.

In Rapunzel’s musical story, Jolanta Strikaite’s clear soprano will be heard, singer Markus Riva will appear in the role of the Prince, and experienced opera soloist Evija Martinsone will step into the character of the Witch. The performance will feature soloists of the Latvian Radio Choir, an instrumental ensemble under the direction of Pēteris Vaickovskis, as well as students of the Riga Choreography School and the Riga Cathedral Choir School.

Admission to the garden of Rundāle Palace is included in the concert ticket price.

Children from the age of 1 need to have a ticket.

Creative workshops from 11: 00
