Thank you for visiting the homepage of The Châteauville Foundation and the new Castleton Festival, which will bring an exceptional group of nearly 200 singers, instrumentalists, conductors, directors and  designers together in the rolling hills of Rappahannock County to live and work together. We look forward to sharing their world-class performances with you this July.

Tickets for our Festival opera and concert performances are now available online or by phone at 866-974-0767 (toll-free) or 540-937-4969. If you would like to receive a Festival brochure, kindly use the Contact page to reach us by email or call the number(s) above.

You may visit the new Castleton Festival page for an overview of the performance events planned between July 3 and 19, including a complete cycle of the Britten chamber operas and two festival orchestral concerts that Maestro Maazel will share with our outstanding Castleton Conducting Fellows.  Details of additional recitals, post-opera Café concerts, pre-performance talks and other sponteous activities will soon be posted. Please check back for updates during the month of June. For dining options, please refer to the "Plan your visit" section.

We are privileged to have ROLEX as the Founding Partner of the Lorin Maazel Master Classes, being launched as part of the inaugural Festival season.
