The Libretto Festival was inspired by the theme of the Arteplage Murten-Morat, Moment and Eternity, and invited visitors to take a surprising journey into the world of classical music during the day and in the evening. The concerts and performances took place on the lakeshore, on the Arteplage, in the Tente Centenaire, on a mobile stage and at various locations in Murten-Morat (streets, squares, churches, town hall, etc.) and were organised like an itinerary.

The play Der Schwarze Hecht by Paul Burkhard was performed several times for 20 minutes in the streets of Murten-Morat. The performers sang and played the best-known excerpts from the work. They were accompanied by a piano mounted on a carriage pulled by horses and decorated like a circus.
