Salzburg Festival

Held for five weeks each summer since 1920, the Salzburg Festival presents a programme of music and drama ranging from Mozart and Shakespeare to more contemporary works. A yearly feature is a performance of the play Everyman (Jedermann), dramatised by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Mozart's works also take a centre stage, which is no surprise as he was born in Salzburg.

Venue: Great Festival Hall, Cathedral Square, Felsenreitschule Theatre

Date: 27 July to 30 August 2011
