We can't wait to welcome you to a programme of world-leading opera, music, theatre and dance.

The 2025 Edinburgh International Festival will take place from 1–24 August 2025, with the theme of ‘The Truth We Seek’ inviting audiences to explore truth in all its forms.

2025 performances include Mary, Queen of Scots, a world premiere from Scottish Ballet, an Australian Opera Orpheus and Eurydice featuring acrobatics, and Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra 2 in their first-ever European tour.

We launch the full Festival programme in March 2025. Sign up below to receive a free printed brochure on your doorstep (UK addresses only).
