Salzburg Festival
Cultural Highlight in the City of Mozart
The contemporary stars of the classical music scene can be found at the most important cultural festival in the world, the Salzburg Festival. Internationally renowned conductors, directors, singers and actors provide a real cultural highlight every year in July and August in the City of Mozart. Top-class theatre and opera productions are performed and concerts are given at more than 10 different performance locations, such as the Grosse Festspielhaus, the Haus für Mozart, the Felsenreitschule, the Landestheater, the Mozarteum and the Perner Insel.
Music lovers from all around the world can take pleasure in the ageless operas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Hugo von Hofmansthal’s “Jedermann” and the traditional musical participation of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. There is no classical music star around that hasn’t given a guest performance here: From Anna Netrebko to Herbert von Karajan, from Jessey Norman to Sir Simon Rattle, from Thomas Hampson to Waltraud Meier – Salzburg is the traditional venue for the finest professionals of the world of classic.
In addition to the Salzburg Festival in summer, the Easter Festival and the “Whitsuntide & Baroque” festival also provide classic lovers with special musical treats. Furthermore, Salzburg displays a love of culture all year round: The international Mozarteum foundation, the Salzburger Landestheater and numerous other opera, concert and theatre promoters provide a diversified programme.
