Wedding Opera in Gstaad!

Magical opera in an enchanting setting!

London Festival Opera has a wealth of experience in creating the perfect selection of opera for a weddings. We recently returned from a very special wedding in Switzerland at the Gstaad Palace Hotel (pictured) one of the most enchanting settings in the world! Gstaad has long been a destination for high society and the international jet set is part of the municipality of Saanen and is known as a major ski resort.

We worked closely with the Bride and Groom and looked at the wide range of repertoire available. One Bride for a wedding in London wanted something very different and made her entry into the ceremony accompanied by the rock classic ‘Highway to Hell’ with a superb electric guitarist! After other arias (including from ‘La Traviata’ and ‘The Barber of Seville’) the grand final piece was an operatic version of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ with singers and guitarist.

In Gstaad, after the surprise waiter start, the cutting of the cake was accompanied by a rousing opera version of ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’!! There is so much repertoire to choose from and live music never fails to add something extra-special and really memorable to the day…
