Quelle surprise, ma chère

As at all courts, festivals and balls were
a firm part of politics and an instrument
of self-representation for a secular or ecclesiastical prince.
So let yourselves be carried away into times gone by!

Experience divertissements entirely in the style
of the 18th century with gallantry, etiquette, charm, and pleasure.
Lose yourselves in the play of masks.
In the 18th century, the Carnival of Venice was at its zenith.
Interrupted only by Lent,
people gave themselves over to an intoxication of festivities
and a lavish lifestyle,
which was only brought to an abrupt end
by Napoleon's conquests.

This age of the Rococo is
like a final glamorous flare
that continues to captivate all of Europe to this day.
And it is always a game of love...
for little is as tempting and mysterious
as the gleam of eyes behind a mask.

Experience it, live it yourselves...
In this spirit, I invite you
to lose yourselves in this era with me.
Be it at our fine Petit Rococo Weekend in Fürth,
where we dedicate ourselves to classes
and an elegant soiree in an intimate setting –
or at our grand festivities.
For where would our Grand Masked Ball
fit better than in the magnificent, baroque Eichstätt?

Here we will populate the magnificent rooms
of the Prince-Bishop's Residence as well as many other beautiful places in Eichstätt,
filling them with historical splendor.
Allow me to seduce you to these events
in the style of the 18th century,
so that together we may immerse ourselves in the time of the Rococo.
