Verbier Festival 2026
The Verbier Festival 2026 invites you to experience classical music at its most vibrant, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Swiss Alps. Each summer, this unique gathering transforms the alpine village of Verbier into a global meeting point for the world’s finest musicians and the next generation of rising stars — a place where tradition meets discovery, and every performance feels alive with possibility.
Unforgettable as Don Giovanni in 2022 and a superb Count Almaviva in 2024, Peter Mattei returns this summer to Verbier for an intimate recital devoted to the world of Franz Schubert. An event not to be missed with the Swedish baritone, undoubtedly one of the most captivating voices on the international opera scene.
What is it that gives Schubert’s Lieder their eternity? Firstly, their unfathomable depth, anticipating the discoveries of psychoanalysis by more than a century (Erlkönig), or digging into the depths of the human soul subject to the most universal feelings (Gretchen am Spinnrad). Then there’s their ambivalence, between humble, popular simplicity and constant innovation. One only has to hum the lullaby-like melody of Gute Nacht to realise this. Finally, Schubert’s Lieder are universal in character, following us through all the stages of life: some, like the Ave Maria or the Ständchen, have gone beyond the boundaries of classical music.
The singer becomes the storyteller, and Peter Mattei, renowned for his imposing, warm timbre and his ability to embody the text he sings, is well versed in this kind of exercise. His recording of Winterreise in 2019, followed by a memorable tour in the winter of 2022, left a lasting impression, establishing the Swedish baritone as one of the leading interpreters of this repertoire.
