As the 104th Salzburg Festival drew to a close this past weekend, its administration reported that 98.2% of the season\u2019s seats had sold out. This year\u2019s festival featured 172 performances ranging from opera to concert.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s up: <\/b>On August 31st, Austria\u2019s famed <\/span>Salzburg Festival<\/span><\/a> wrapped its 104th season. Over the course of 44 days, the festival mounted 172 performances including 9 different operas, 5 of which were fully staged productions, as well as 85 concerts. The festival <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> 250,000 visitors from 77 countries around the world and 6,000 tickets sold to people under the age of 27. Funds were also raised for humanitarian causes including Salzburg\u2019s <\/span>Children\u2019s Cancer Society<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Doctors Without Borders<\/span><\/a>, and the <\/span>Malteser Hospitaldienst Austria<\/span><\/a>, which supports child refugees from Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deep cut: <\/b>This year\u2019s Salzburg Festival also celebrated two major Austrian birthdays. They commemorated the 150th birthday of Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg, dedicating a concert series to the Austrian-born Jewish composer who fled Europe in the 1930s. A new archive of works by Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s fellow 150-year-old Wiener, the Austrian writer and librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal, also opened. Not a bad time for fin-de-si\u00e8cle buffs to get their Austrian culture fix. <\/span>\u2014\u00a0<\/span>SS<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

PS: Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s official 150th is on September 13th, 2024. Cue up the <\/span>Sprechstimme<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
