The Salzburg Festival is a classical music festival, featuring opera performances as well as classical concerts with world famous conductors or the world premiers of plays.
Its roots go back to the 1920's when the music festival was founded as "a symbol of reconciliation of a generation torn by wars," by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Max Reinhardt and others.
