Public Viewing - "Opera Gala"

In order to make the festival accessible to a wider public, the Kammerphilharmonie Graubünden is organising a public viewing on the Kornplatz in Chur together with the Bürgergemeinde Chur. Each of the three festival programmes will be broadcast live once in Chur's old town. You can bring your own seating, and food and drinks can be purchased at one of the stands. The screening is free of charge and, in case of bad weather, will be postponed to the scheduled alternative dates.
