On Good Friday (10 April 2009) St. Georgenkirche is the venue of a performance of Haydn’s wonderful The Seven Last Words of our Savior on the Cross.

Haydn’s oratorio The Creation is performed on 31 May 2009 at St. Michaeliskirche. The gothic church, which has fantastic acoustic properties, already played host to a Creation performance in 1932 on the occasion of the 1st Sopron Festival Weeks. During the Liszt Festival in summer, the church will be the venue of concerts featuring works by Haydn and Liszt, with Tamás Szekendy on the organ and Renáta Darázs as soprano (26 July 2009)."
