Salzburg Festival 2025 - Schedule, Program & Tickets
Salzburg Festival 2025
Everyone expects a festival...
... says Goethe. A festival in this city, of which the great Austrian poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal said: "Salzburg is the heart of the heart of Europe. It lies in the middle between south and north, between mountains and plains, between Switzerland and the Slavic countries."
The Salzburg Festival was founded more than 100 years ago by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Max Reinhardt and Richard Strauss and is more of a magnet than ever. We are often asked what the secret of this festival is and what makes it so special. And there are three main factors that make the festival so successful:
Firstly, the Salzburg Festival offers a wider range of artistic offerings than any other festival: in Salzburg, the program includes opera, drama and concerts. The selection and interpretation of works also covers a very broad spectrum, from Mozart, the genius loci, to modernism, from classical interpretation to avant-garde experiments, from Hofmannsthal's Everyman to Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. And only the best and most renowned artists from all over the world are invited to Salzburg.
In addition, visitors to the Salzburg Festival can combine art enjoyment with a holiday. During the day, the wonderful surrounding area and the lakes of the Salzkammergut invite you to excursions and golf games - in the evening, the festival offers incomparable performances.
And thirdly, the Salzburg Festival offers a very special flair. Salzburg's Hofstallgasse and the entire baroque old town are the backdrop for the festival.
