Mozart Week

The Mozart Festival as a Spectacular Birthday Celebration

The Mozart Week has existed since 1956, when Salzburg celebrated Mozart's 200th birthday. Since then, the Mozart Festival has developed into the world's most important stage for Mozart's music: Every year around January 27 - Mozart's birthday - concerts, operas and chamber music fill the historic halls of the Mozarteum. Great conductors, renowned orchestras and celebrated soloists have shaped the festival's profile for decades. The focus is always on Mozart's work - pure, unadulterated and with the ambition to rediscover it again and again.
