“Salzburg as a stage” – Exhibition from 17th July to 26th of October 2010
90th anniversary of the Salzburg Festival
It was August 22nd 1920 when Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s morality play EVERYMAN , directed by Max Reinhardt, marked the official beginnings of the Salzburg Festival. Since then, Salzburg has turned into the world’s most famous gathering place for all opera, theatre and concert buffs. This summer, the Salzburg Festival celebrates its 90th season.
This exhibition takes a look at the main idea of the festival to involve the town of Salzburg as a whole. Centre of the exhibition is the Salzburg Museum (Kunsthalle), where the “World Stage” installation allows you to get a glimpse of the rich history of the festival which was established in a bid to support peace and normality after the devastation of World War I.
Furthermore, we recommend you to explore the “walk-in encyclopedia”, following the development of the Salzburg Festival and its main theme: “The Whole Town is a Stage”.
While walking around Salzburg you will explore many places and topics of interest. You can find the character installations spread out all around Salzburg. Reaching from A like architecture and G like genius loci up to V like Viennese philharmonics, those installations will grant you access to Salzburg’s history, science and keepsakes and their secret connections.
Find out what Salzburg has in store for you, and ask for the Salzburg Card at reception to explore the city from A to Z.
