This season promises to be one you will not want to miss!

About the Festival

Held on three consecutive weekends in July and August at the Woodstock Opera House, Woodstock Illinois, the Festival presents concert performances under the banner ”Mozart…and  More!”…Mozart and other composers. With a seating capacity of 412, the charming restored 1880’s Woodstock Opera House is often referred to as an environment reminiscent of Mozart’s day.  Because of the intimacy of the hall, the listener enjoys the unique experience of feeling enveloped by the music.  A superb orchestra, world class artists and air conditioned comfort make the Woodstock Mozart Festival a MUST for a special summer concert experience just 60 miles northwest of Chicago.
