Questions & Answers

Where do the guided tours start and end?

The meeting point and end point of the guided tours is directly in front of the entrance to the Haus für Mozart / the Felsenreitschule at the shop of the Salzburg Festival (Hofstallgasse 1, 5020 Salzburg).

Does the guided visit include a tour of the Grosse Festspielhaus?

Yes, as a general rule, the Grosse 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?

Due to the current corona virus situation it is not possible to go backstage or to visit workshops. Thank you for your understanding.

Is the Felsenreitschule open to visitors?

Yes, as a general rule, the Große 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.
