Salzburg Festival Makers | Ricardo Miguel Suero Vargas

Our new series on “Salzburg Festival Makers” features the various faces behind the scenes of the Salzburg Festival.

Fascinating sets and stage designs that transport you to another world?!
This is something quite normal for you in the audience and is part of the outstanding quality of the Salzburg Festival.

However, what is build on stage at the Festival’s various performances requires a high level of diligence and dedication, with a team of over 10 employees ensuring that the ideas of the leading teams of the diverse productions can be realised and therefore generate great enthusiasm.

Our “Festspieler” Ricardo Vargas gives you an insight into how much he enjoys working in the paint shop team, how he joined it and why the 2017 opera Ariodante is particularly memorable to him.
