About Festival Castell de Peralada
A midsummer night's dream
The mediaeval Castell de Peralada is the setting for the Castell de Peralada Festival during the months of July and August. Set in the Castle Park gardens, the Auditorium is the ideal venue for concerts on a summer night. The Church and the Cloister, by contrast, hosts recitals, chamber concerts and small-format operas. History and prestige identify the Festival which, both for its artistic events and for the exceptional nature of the setting in which it is staged, place this mediaeval town at the cultural and leisure heart of the summer nights of the Costa Brava.
History of the Festival
Founded in 1987, the Festival is regarded as one of the major arts events of the summer. Patronage of the Festival is part of the Peralada Group's corporate social responsibility policy, in line with the international spirit of active contribution to culture and the promotion of music. It is a unique initiative in terms of the support and promotion of music and a clear commitment to the excellence of the artistic proposals in lyric and dance. The local production, the commitment to new creators, the support for composers and the invitations to major artists and companies have contributed to the cultural enrichment of our country.
