Salzburg Festival
The Salzburg Festival has been one of the defining festivals for opera, theatre and concerts since 1920. Its programme spans two seasons: the Whitsun Festival and the major summer festival. The hub is the Festival District, including the Grosses Festspielhaus, the Haus für Mozart and the Felsenreitschule; Cathedral Square and the Kollegienkirche are also used. U27 can access heavily discounted tickets exclusively in the Ticket Gretchen app.
