Theatre architecture: experience surprising shows on an unique stone stage
The opening of the Salzburg Festival is near! It’s time for special musical experiences taking place in buildings of extraordinary architecture, as will happen with Aribert Reimann’s opera „Lear“. Staged in the Felsenreitschule with its stone arcade wall by young director Simon Stone, it will present a high-caliber cast and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
Are you going to be part of it? During summer, the Hofstallgasse transformes into an open air break room where celebrities as well as normal citizens meet. Copyright: SF/Kolarik.
