In Salzburg, summer is not an interlude but an intensification. Framed by Alpine reliefs and shaped by Baroque architecture of near-musical precision, the city enters a state of continuous vibration. Days lengthen, perspectives open, and every space—from the old town to the great festival halls—becomes a resonant chamber. Music does not dominate the city; it courses through it, structures it, inhabits even its silences.
For more than a century, the Salzburg Festival has stood as a forum where the great repertoire confronts the most singular artistic visions of our time. Messiaen’s Saint François d’Assise takes shape under Maxime Pascal and the radical gaze of Romeo Castellucci. Rossini’s jubilant virtuosity finds expression in Il Viaggio Reims with Cecilia Bartoli and Florian Sempey in Barrie Kosky’s incisive production. Mozart occupies a central place with Così fan tutte, embodied by Elsa Dreisig and Lea Desandre, while Strauss unfolds his world of contrasts in Ariadne auf Naxos with the noble presence of Elīna Garanča. The journey expands into the symphonic tradition with the Vienna Philharmonic under Tugan Sokhiev, before returning to the timeless blaze of Carmen in Teodor Currentzis’s incandescent reading, embodied by Asmik Grigorian.
Together, these evenings form a coherent itinerary in which leading figures of today’s musical world enter into dialogue with the works, each performance marking a decisive stage in a total artistic voyage.
