19.07.2024 – 31.08.2024
The Salzburg Festival presents a varied programme of 172 performances at 15 venues over 44 days. In addition to a new production of “Jedermann”, the theatre section will also be presenting plays based on Stefan Zweig, Thomas Mann and Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. In 2024, the Ouverture Spirituelle will focus on comforting hope and uncertain expectation under the motto “Et exspecto”.
The opera productions focus on the revolting human being. Offenbach’s “Les Contes d’Hoffmann”, Prokofiev’s “Der Spieler”, Weinberg’s “Der Idiot”, Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” and “La Clemenza di Tito” show revolutionaries of different characters.
The new theatre director Marina Davydova focuses on three main themes, relating people to transcendence, their history and their bodies. She focuses on texts by Zweig, Thomas Mann and Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, among others, and also brings dance into the theatre.
The 2024 concert programme is dedicated to major anniversaries. The “Time with …” series is dedicated to Arnold Schönberg, whose 150th birthday will be celebrated in 2024.
“young & everyone” – the Salzburg Festival’s youth programme
The youth programme includes 53 performances of music theatre, drama, interactions and young art with in-depth educational offers. In summer 2024, there will also be so-called “Festival sponsorships”, in which experienced Festival visitors introduce young adults to the world of the Festival.
