Saint François d’Assise – Behind the scenes

What a festival summer! Unforgettable evenings, powerful emotions and special moments on our stages – yet none of this would be possible without the people behind the scenes.

Behind the scenes, miracles both big and small are achieved every day. Countless people ensure that our productions are created, developed and ultimately brought to the stage night after night.

From technical operations to our workshops, costumes and make-up to set construction, from organisation and scheduling to looking after our artists: behind every performance are people whose work often remains unseen – and yet is felt in every moment on stage.

Our heartfelt thanks go to all the backstage staff, whose dedication, professionalism and passion have made this festival summer something truly unique.
