Start: Beginning of the Salzburg Festival | shz.de

Sunday in Salzburg, the "Everyman" is on the program: with Tobias Moretti and Stefanie Reinsperger in the lead roles.

The Salzburg Festival started on Friday with a lot of noise: from the fortress of Hohensalzburg, Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg, many shooters hailed unequivocally

Visit many Events with free counting cards until Saturday. These include readings, guided tours, dance, music and autograph sessions in a total of 30 locations in the city. On the artistic level, the opening week of the festival is marked by the concert series "Spiritual Openness". Friday night, Krzysztof Penderecki's Pbadion Lukas was on the program – with Kent Nagano on the podium

The theater program begins Sunday night with the "Jedermann". The play is shown again in the also because of their short duration of only 95 minutes controversially staged by Michael Sturminger. However, the scenes and also partially the costumes have been revised. In the leading role of the rich, the dying man is Tobias Moretti again to see. Pbadion is interpreted by Stefanie Reinsperger

At the inauguration of the festival on July 27, historian and writer Philipp Blom will deliver the ceremonial speech. A frequent guest of the festival, which lasts until August 30, is also Chancellor Angela Merkel. Every summer, Merkel travels to Mozart's city every summer to attend performances and stagings with her husband Joachim Sauer. It could also be the case of British Prime Minister Theresa May, invited by Austrian Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) and quickly accepted.
