Salzburg is the ultimate romantic destination. This splendid city, coiled in an exceptional Alpin environment, is full of treasures and sites to visit. Despite the Hohensalzburg fortress which overlooks the city, the Getreidegasse shines thanks to its forged iron signs and its picturesque lanes which house courtyard and hidden passages. Of course, the native of the region, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is omnipresent : from his childhood home to the Résidence where he gave his firsts recitals, to the Saint-Peter Abbey where he used to play the organ, the Austrian composer is celebrated at a fair value in the whole town.
Come and fill up on beauty and music during Mozart Week. For some years now, this prestigious event has been directed by the singer Rollando Villazon. After several years devoted to the divine Wolfgang, Mozartwoche devotes part of its program to Mozart’s sworn ‘enemy’: Antonio Salieri. But don’t believe what Forman’s film Amadeus says, the two men were by no means crossed, and Salieri’s music contains gems that should be rediscovered as a matter of urgency. In addition to a Clémence de Titus directed by Villazon himself, the week will feature prestigious musicians such as Jordi Savall, the Vienna Philharmonic, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Olga Peretyatko and Giovanni Antonioni, all of whom are passionate about the music of Mozart and his century.
