For all those who are avid fans of music and drama, and true Mozart fans then there is one festival you will want to experience at least once in your lifetime. Each year in Salzburg, Austria the Salzburg Festival, also known as the Salzburger Festspiele is held over 5 weeks. This festival begins each year at the end of July and will commence throughout August.
The Salzburg Festival is held right in the town where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born, who is of course a renowned composer and a musician many admire. With this year being 2010 it marks the 90th year of the festival. This year the operas, plays and concerts revolve around mythological themes for the 90th anniversary.
The Salzburg Festival itself has assumed an aura of mythical throughout the past nine decades, and this year they want to make this aura shine. For 2010 there will be 15 subscription options available. 7 of these will offer attractive performances over five days. Performances you will see in this series include:
● Kontinent Rihm
● Schubert – Die Liedzyklen
● Brahms-Szenen
● Young Directors Project
● Dichter ze Gast (thematically coordinated)
● Optional Subscriptions for Chopin/Schumann
The festival goes from July 25th to August 29 with tickets ranging between the prices of €15 to €400. The price for the events will depend on which event you want to attend, but there are options for every budget.
This is a festival that many attend each and every year. Don’t miss out on it and hear the many compositions of Mozart and many great composers brought to life once again.
Planning Your Next Trip with Atlas Travel Center
At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve spent over 35 years helping travelers turn ideas like the one in this post into fully realized journeys. Whether you’re reading this as inspiration for a trip you’re already planning or as the first seed of a travel dream, our advisors are here to take it from concept to confirmation — handling every detail along the way.
What sets Atlas apart isn’t just our longevity in the business — it’s the depth of expertise we bring to every booking. Our agents are specialists, not generalists. Many have personal experience at the destinations they recommend, onboard the ships they book, and with the tour operators they partner with. When you work with an Atlas advisor, you’re getting counsel grounded in real experience, not just what’s on a website.
Why Work with a Travel Advisor in the Age of Online Booking?
Online booking tools have made it easier than ever to assemble a trip — and also easier than ever to make an expensive mistake. The lowest price on a comparison site often omits a resort fee, books a room category you wouldn’t choose if you saw the photos, or locks you into a cancellation policy that offers no flexibility. Our advisors know the inventory, the fine print, and the suppliers well enough to navigate all of it on your behalf.
More importantly, when something goes wrong — a flight cancels, a ship changes its itinerary, a resort overbooks — a travel advisor is the difference between hours on hold with an 800 number and a quick call to someone who knows exactly who to call. We’ve been solving those problems for clients since 1987, and we’re very good at it.
