Salzburg
Mozartwoche
“Destination Mozart” - this is the motto under which Artistic Director Rolando Villazón invites you to Mozart Week. Because all roads lead to W. A. Mozart, so to speak. With this in mind, this edition of the festival, which always takes place around the birthday of the great genius, spans a wider arc from Monteverdi, Bach and Handel - to Mozart.
Experience Salzburg in winter with its very own charm. A stroll through the old town, a warming visit to a coffee house or a tour of Hohensalzburg Fortress - with panoramic views over the rooftops of Salzburg and the snow-covered mountains of the Salzburger Land: there are probably few times of the year when the hospitable city on the Salzach is as tranquil as at this time of year.
Osterfestspiele
Since it was founded by Herbert von Karajan in 1967, the Easter Festival has become an integral part of Salzburg’s musical calendar and an integral part of international cultural life.Its excellent and exclusive reputation far beyond the city’s borders is confirmed time and again, as it combines opera, choral and orchestral enjoyment par excellence with top-class artists.
Mussorgsky’s opera “Khovanshchina”, which is rarely performed on stage, will be presented in a new production - paired with an innovation: for the first time in the festival’s history, four conductors and three orchestras will be guests at the Salzach, offering you an extremely exciting program. Enjoy the festive Easter atmosphere and spring with warm Austrian hospitality!
Pfingstfestspiele
The lagoon city of Venice was and is a place of longing! Its extraordinary location has inspired writers, painters and not least composers who have lived in, visited or dreamed of La Serenissima . The 2025 Salzburg Whitsun Festival, once again under the artistic direction of the great Cecilia Bartoli, pays homage to musical Venice and takes you through five centuries of compositional history from Monteverdi to Rossini, from Vivaldi to Verdi, from sacred music to opera, from concert to ballet. Look forward to atmospheric days in Salzburg’s most beautiful venues!
Sommerfestspiele
Summer in Salzburg means enjoying culture and nature in equal measure. Let yourself be enchanted by the charm and the special festival atmosphere on the banks of the Salzach in the midst of the charming mountain scenery and take a seat in the most famous venues.
With operas, concerts and plays, the Festival Weeks 2025 under Artistic Director Markus Hinterhäuser once again offer a wide-ranging programme. Experience the wonderful Lisette Oropesa in a new production of Donizetti's ‘Maria Stuarda’ and be mesmerised by Asmik Grigorian as Lady Macbeth. Of course, ‘Jedermann’ with Philipp Hochmair should not be missing from the Salzburg programme - nor should the top orchestras of the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics with their charismatic maestros.
And if you would like to extend your summer dream by a few more sunny days: Please get in touch with us, because Salzburg and the fantastic landscape in the Salzkammergut with its numerous lakes, genuine hospitality and top-class cuisine are definitely worth a holiday.
