The story

Tyrol Easter Festival in Hall in Tirol/Innsbruck

A contemporary multi-disciplinary festival staged around Easter in Innsbruck and neighboring Hall in Tirol, combining music, theatre, performance and literature under a different socially relevant theme each year, organized by the long-running Tyrolean cultural association Galerie St. Barbara, founded in 1968, and framed as the only event of its scale and multi-disciplinary scope in western Austria.

Rather than staging early music in period costume, Tyrol's Easter-season festival commissions new compositions each year that respond to Renaissance and Baroque passion settings, threading contemporary work through Innsbruck and the neighboring town of Hall in Tirol.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than performing historical repertoire straight, the festival commissions new compositions that respond directly to Renaissance and Baroque passion music, pairing centuries-old material with newly written work each edition

02

The mystery stays covered

It is organized by a cultural association founded in 1968, changes its central theme every year, and spans two towns — Innsbruck and Hall in Tirol — rather than a single host city

03

The city starts moving

Held during the roughly two-week Easter period, it draws on the season's reflective mood without following the strictly sacred-music format of comparable Easter festivals elsewhere in Europe
