Quelle surprise, ma chère

As at all courts, festivities 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 to times past!

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 surrendered to a frenzy of festivities
and a lavish lifestyle,
which was only brought to an abrupt end
by Napoleon's conquests.

This era of the Rococo is
like a last glamorous radiance
that still captivates all of Europe today.
And it is always a game of love as well...
for few things are as enticing 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 epoch with me.
Be it at our refined Petit Rococo Weekend in Fürth,
where we dedicate ourselves to classes
and an elegant soiree in an intimate setting –
or at our grand celebrations.
For where would our Grand Masquerade Ball
fit better than in 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
and fill them with historical splendor.
Allow me to tempt you to these events
in the style of the 18th century,
so that together we may immerse ourselves in the time of the Rococo.
