Can the Grosses Festspielhaus, the Felsenreitschule and the Haus für Mozart be visited?

Yes, as a general rule, the Grosses Festspielhaus, the Felsenreitschule and the Haus für Mozart are all stops on our guided tours. Our venues are not a static museum, but rather a living place where art is produced the whole year round. As such, it may happen that tours do not visit all of the sites due to rehearsals or ongoing renovation work or are rescheduled altogether. We kindly ask for your understanding.

Is it possible to visit the backstage areas and workshops?

The workshops and backstage are not part of the guided tours for safety reasons. Thank you for your understanding.
