Heimatmuseum Berching/Christoph Willibald Gluck

The Heimatmuseum Berching/Christoph Willibald Gluck honors one of Berching’s most important citizens and the famous opera reformer of the 18th century 🎶.

The multimedia presentation showcases Gluck’s life and work with images and music examples, vividly linking his biography to his compositions. It lasts about 35 minutes and highlights his significant impact on European music history.
