Salzburger Landestheater

The Salzburger Landestheater is an opera house and performance venue in Salzburg's old town, designed by architects Fellner and Helmer in classical style. The venue contains about 700 seats where operas, ballets, and concerts are performed regularly.

A Salzburg prince-archbishop commissioned this building in 1775 to replace an older dance hall that had occupied the site since 1625. The new structure quickly became a center of musical life in the city.

The theater remains a key venue for Mozart's works and regularly presents his operas and concerts to audiences. Visitors can experience the musical tradition that has shaped Salzburg for centuries.

The building offers barrier-free access and wheelchair spaces, plus an induction loop system for those with hearing loss. Visitors should check what is being performed in advance and arrive with enough time to settle in.

The Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg serves as the resident ensemble and performed classical works long before the name became officially established. The orchestra blends traditional compositions with contemporary pieces in its programming.
