From the beginning, the Salzburg Festival had an extraordinary mission: to create meaning in times of crisis.
Four lectures about the century lead us towards the Salzburg Festival’s centenary, exploring the question whether the belief in the power of the arts – of which our founding fathers were convinced – still endows the Festival with meaning in our changed times. They invoke the world of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
