Royal Water Music
on Lake Starnberg

The Residenz-Solisten invite you to a very special boat trip. On board the MS Starnberg on Lake Starnberg, you will embark on a journey back to the time of the Wittelsbach rulers.

During the cruise across the lake, the focus is on the Royal Water Music. In the excellent acoustics of the salon on the main deck, the Residenz-Solisten perform masterpieces by composers such as Mozart, Vivaldi, and Handel, works that were once loved and promoted by the Bavarian ruling family. While enjoying a selected 3-course menu including drinks, you will be entertained with fascinating stories about the historical connections between the Wittelsbach dynasty and Lake Starnberg.

The MS Starnberg, with its three decks, was built in reference to the ceremonial ship Bucentaurus. Painted entirely in blue and gold, the ship of Bavarian Elector Ferdinand Maria was considered the most beautiful and largest rowing ship ever to sail on German inland waters. Modeled after the state ship of the Doges of Venice, it was launched in 1664, rowed by 150 oarsmen, to provide the Bavarian Elector and his entourage with a magnificent evening on the lake.

The journey with the Residenz-Solisten is a tribute to these historic voyages and has been a highlight of the concert summer for 15 years. The trip includes a sparkling wine reception, three concert parts, an exquisite 3-course menu including drinks, captivating stories from the time of the Wittelsbach rulers, and a fireworks display at the end of the cruise.
