Salzburg has Mozart, the festival—and Elisabeth Fuchs. To mark her milestone birthday, which coincidentally falls on International Women's Day on March 8, we invite you to press conferences and interviews.
A wild ride through Bavarian humor, comedy classics, and Christmas (fairy tale) music awaited the audience at the five shows of the Advent program "Monika Gruber Symphonic." Sometimes as a schnapps-drinking angel, sometimes as a teasing wife in a time-lapse of marriage, "die Gruaberin" elicited loud laughter from the audience from the very first minute.
The Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir performed twice in the Elbphilharmonie last Sunday. Twice the concert hall was sold out, twice the musical performance was honored with jubilant standing ovations.
Around 6,050 children flocked to Hall 2 of the Exhibition Center between 23 June and 2 July to listen to the musical story of Bedřich Smetana's "The Moldau". They were joined by actor Frederic Böhle, conductor Elisabeth Fuchs and acrobat Jasmin Rituper, who guided the elementary and kindergarten children through the story with verve and ease.
When the young musicians of the Kinder- & Jugendphilharmonie meet the winners of the ZEIG DEIN TALENT contest, the result is a rousing fusion of creativity and passion. The audience was able to see this for themselves on Friday, June 27 in Hall 2 of the Messezentrum.
The time has finally come: after a two-year break, the ZEIG DEIN TALENT talent contest organized by the Salzburg Children's Festival and the Philharmonie Salzburg is back - and the response is huge! From a total of 153 registrations and video submissions (with 282 young artists), 80 acts were invited to the live audition at the new Philharmonie Salzburg.
On Friday, May 23, 2025, the Philharmonie Salzburg opened the Klassik:Sommer in Bad Hofgastein for the eighth time as "orchestra in residence" with an extraordinary and moving concert experience. Around 400 guests experienced a top-class opening concert in the acoustically brilliant Kursaal, which offered classical masterpieces by Mozart and Beethoven as well as a glimpse into the musical future.
