Tango am See

The new assembly hall of the Bregenz Festspielhaus, whose giant doors open directly onto the lake shore, will be the venue of a very special festival event on the evening of 11 August 2025 – Tango am See (Tango on the lake). For the Finns, tango belongs to the summer as the Northern Lights do to winter, and nobody loves the dance as passionately as they do. The concert on the Lake Constance shore will capture the atmosphere of midsummer night dancing in a Finnish landscape. The music is courtesy of the Finnish-British Alakulo Ensemble – musicians from the London Symphony Orchestra who will play traditional and modern Finnish tangos. The dancers Arja Koriseva (Tango Queen of 1989) and Johannes Vatjus (Tango King of 2019) will appear as soloists. The compere guiding us through the evening will be Roman Schatz, who comes from the Lake Constance area but has lived in Finland for nearly 40 years and is now regarded as an expert in Finnish tango.
