First celebrated in 1877, the Salzburg Festival (Salzburger Festspiele) features outstanding local and international performances of music and drama at various venues across town. This festival is a highlight of the Austrian summer event calendar and definitely not to be missed!
Salzburg Festival
Held for five weeks each summer since 1920, the Salzburg Festival presents a program of music and drama ranging from Mozart and Shakespeare to more contemporary works. A yearly feature is a performance of the play Everyman (Jedermann), dramatized by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Mozart’s works also take a center stage, which is no surprise as he was born in Salzburg.
