Leipzig: Event highlights in summer 2022

In 2022, another world-class composer will make his way to the city’s open-air stages. This summer, Wagner fans can listen to the sounds of his epoch-defining music in the composer’s birthplace from 20 June to 14 July. Visionary artistic director Professor Ulf Schirmer will present the complete stage works in a single festival and even perform all thirteen Wagner operas in chronological order. A variety of events spread across three weeks are an opportunity for guests to listen, watch and be amazed. One highlight will be the public screenings on Augustusplatz, where everyone can enjoy performances of Wagner’s compositions in the open air. Symposia and musical productions round off the series of events.

In August, Leipzig will be full of sound. This is thanks in part to the many live concerts being held on the market square from 5 to 14 August. Outstanding singers and musical virtuosos will perform a wide repertoire on the open-air stage, from well-known hits to classical pieces. This year, music fans can look forward to all sorts of sounds and styles that will combine the international and local, top class and youthful rawness, music for teens and operetta lovers, East German rock and rousing cover versions of big hits. Music on Leipzig Market Square is organised by FAIRNET, a company of the Leipziger Messe group, in cooperation with the “Krystallpalast Varieté” variety theatre and four Leipzig restaurateurs and with the support of the City of Leipzig.
