Salzburger Landestheater, Opera house and theater in Altstadt, Austria
The Salzburger Landestheater is an opera house and theater in the old town of Salzburg, designed by the architects Fellner and Helmer in a classical style. It seats around 700 people and presents opera, ballet, and concert performances throughout the year.
A Salzburg prince-archbishop had this building constructed in 1775 to replace an older dance hall that had stood on the site since 1625. The new house quickly became a central place for musical life in the city.
The theater is closely tied to Mozart, who was born in Salzburg, and his operas are performed here on a regular basis. Attending a show here gives a sense of how deeply this music is woven into the city's daily life.
The building is accessible for wheelchair users and has an induction loop for people with hearing difficulties. It is worth checking the program in advance and arriving early enough to find your seat without rushing.
The Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg is the resident ensemble and was already active long before it received its official name. This makes it one of the oldest orchestras in Austria, even though it operated for a long time without a fixed title.
