    Due to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, it has become clear that it will not be possible to present a Festival in 2020. We have taken the disappointing decision to cancel the 2020 Edinburgh International Festival. Read the full statement on our website.

    Our board of trustees has asked for, and accepted the resignation of, Valery Gergiev as Honorary President of the Festival. Edinburgh is twinned with the city of Kyiv and this action is being taken in sympathy with, and support of, its citizens.
