Schwindfoyer
Panel discussions, receptions, gala dinners
The Schwindfoyer, named after the painter Moritz von Schwind, is designed in the style of historicism and dedicated to the art form of opera. Busts of composers frame the hall at lofty heights, with Schwind painting scenes from famous works - from Der Freischütz to Le nozze di Figaro. Busts of great conductors are also on display: Mahler, Strauss, Karajan, Böhm and others.
