Edinburgh International Festival 8th-31st August 2008

Featuring theatre, music, opera, dance and the visual arts Festival 09 will entertain audiences from all over the world next summer. The programme highlights Scotland's influence on some of the world's great artists and artistic endeavours and reflects on that extraordinary moment in Scottish history now considered the foundation of much of modern thinking - the Scottish Enlightenment.

The 2009 Festival programme embraces the Scottish Enlightenment, setting it in contemporary and often surprising contexts. Why not make 2009 the year that you invite friends and family to Edinburgh and take them on an enticing Festival journey, a three week celebration bringing artists and audiences together from all corners of the globe?
