Easter Festival

Initially conceived as a supplement to the summer festival, Herbert von Karajan succeeded with the help of first-class directors, the most talented performers, and elaborate opera productions to create a brilliant and at the same time financially and artistically independent festival that attracts music lovers from all over the world to this day.

In 2013, Christian Thielemann took over Karajan’s mantle and propelled the Salzburg Easter Festival, which is completely independent of the Salzburg Festival, into a new era. The unconditional demand of the former musical assistant of the Karajan for a constant and at the same time highest artistic level makes the Easter Festival in Salzburg an essential event in the festival calendar.
