Festival di Salisburgo

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

 
Il Teatro dell'Opera del Festival di Salisburgo

Il Festival di Salisburgo (Salzburger Festspiele) è uno dei più importanti festival musicali di musica classica e opera lirica. Si tiene tutti gli anni in estate (per cinque settimane da fine luglio a tutto agosto) a Salisburgo (Austria), città natale di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In tempi recenti si tiene anche il Salzburg Easter Festival[1].

Il Festival estivo è stato fondato nel 1877 ma la sua programmazione fu discontinua fino al 1910.

Alla fine della Prima guerra mondiale nel 1918, la sua rinascita fu dovuta a cinque alte personalità che oggi vengono considerate i fondatori: Il poeta e drammaturgo Hugo von Hofmannsthal, il compositore Richard Strauss, il direttore del Teatro di Salisburgo Max Reinhardt, lo scenografo Alfred Roller ed il direttore d'orchestra Franz Schalk. Il Festival venne ufficialmente rifondato il 22 agosto 1920 con la rappresentazione di Jedermann di Hofmannsthal su un palco all'aperto sito nella piazza del Duomo di Salisburgo. Questa rappresentazione è divenuta una tradizione ed essa viene ripetuta tutti gli anni sempre allo stesso posto.

Nel 1926 il vecchio palazzo sede dell'arcivescovado (Felsenreitschule), venne trasformato in un teatro che divenne la sede principale del Festival (Salzburger Festspielhaus). Questo fece sì che il festival, anno dopo anno, conquistasse importanza e fama in tutto il mondo, non solo come luogo di esecuzione delle opere di Mozart e Strauss, ma anche di altri compositori. Durante il Festival vengono programmate opere liriche, concerti sinfonici, recital, lavori teatrali ed altri generi di spettacolo. Oltre alle opere dei già accennati compositori austriaci vengono spesso eseguiti Falstaff di Giuseppe Verdi e Fidelio di Beethoven.

Fra il 1934 e il 1937 si ebbe il periodo d'oro della manifestazione per la partecipazione di due mostri sacri come i direttori d'orchestra Toscanini e Bruno Walter.

La popolarità del Festival andò scemando quando l'Austria venne annessa alla Germania nel 1938 ed ebbe delle edizioni sottotono fino alla temporanea chiusura nel 1943 durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. Alla fine della guerra il Festival riprese con l'edizione del 1945 subito dopo la vittoria delle forze alleate in Europa.

 

Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale [modifica]

Dopo la fine della guerra, il Festival andò lentamente riguadagnando la fama che aveva raggiunto in precedenza, di principale Festival estivo, specialmente per le opere di Mozart. Nel 2006 il Festival ha celebrato il 250° anniversario della nascita di Mozart allestendo tutte e 22 le opere del compositore austriaco, comprese due opere incompiute, ottenendo un grande successo di pubblico e critica. Le rappresentazioni vennero filmate e presentate poi in televisione nel novembre dello stesso anno.

Salzburg

An elegant and spacious baroque city, Salzburg is set against a backdrop of the most breathtaking mountain scenery. The snow-capped mountains of the Hohe Tauern rise in the south whereas the north offers the hills and lakes of the Salzkammergut. All sights are within walking distance of the old city centre, overlooked by the fortress Hohensalzburg, which can be reached either by walking up through the narrow, winding Festungsgasse or by taking the funicular.

The Altstadt (the old city) was recently granted World Heritage Status by UNESCO and has now largely been pedestrianised. Considering its reputation as a ‘typically Austrian city’ it is ironic that it was either Bavarian or an independent city state, only coming under Hapsburg rule in 1816.

Interesting sights include:

The Peterskirche (St Peter’s Abbey, with cemetery and catacombs),
The Domkirche (intended to rival St Peter’s in Rome) and
The Alter Markt (old market square).

Salzburg’s most famous son – although only after his death – is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who is commemorated in the yearly Salzburger Festspiele which take place in the Grosse and Kleine Festspielhäuser (festival halls) as well as on the Cathedral square or in the University church. Mozart’s birthplace (Mozart Geburtshaus) is in the Getreidegasse, also the city’s main shopping street, while the family residence (Mozart Wohnhaus) is on the market square. Both are museums, with the residence offering a particularly detailed insight into his life and work.

Like Vienna, Salzburg contains fine examples of Baroque architecture which stands second only to music in the country’s cultural history. The Franciscan church, the Nonnberg Convent, the Trinity Church, St Sebastian’s Cemetery, the Church of Parsch, the Palace of the Prince-Archbishops, the carillon, the Town Hall, the Pferdeschwemme (a fountain), the festival halls, the Mirabell Palace with its landscaped gardens, the Mönchsberg and the Kapuzinerberg, many museums, the theatre, Hellbrunn Palace with the fountains, Leopoldskron and Klesshem Palaces, Maria Pein Pilgrimage Church, the Gaisberg and the Untersberg provide many possible tours and walks.

Excursions

The original wealth of Salzburg and the province was based on the salt trade, and the mines and the Celtic Museum of Hallein are well worth a visit.

Badgastein is a popular spa and winter resort, with a large casino, whilst Kaprun offers glacier skiing even in the summer.

The Zell-am-See skiing area has an active nightlife. The Open-Air Folklife Museum at Grossgmain is also worth visiting, as are the Eisriesenwelt (ice caves, with wonderful ice sculptures) near Werfen.

Kremsmünster Monastery is one of the country’s oldest, founded in 877, the buildings are full of paintings, frescos and Renaissance statues and the monastery is also famous for its white wines.

Salzburg is dubbed the 'Rome of the North' because of its many churches. It is a compact town easy to get around on foot.

Salzburg is packed with attractions: churches, mansions, museums. The old city offers all of those on a small surface.

On the outskirts of the city is one of Salzburg’s top attractions Hellbrunn Castle. Its water gardens seen in The Sound of Music are great fun especially for kids: When Archbishop Markus Sitticus built the place in the 1600s he had trick fountains mounted in the floors and walls. To satisfy his quirky sense of humor he occasionally sprayed his guests by activating a secret mechanism.

A very pink (!) pastel church in the Residenzplatz, St. Michael's Church (Michaelskirche). It's the oldest church in Salzburg, mentioned in official documents for the first time in 813 AD. It probably dates to around 800 AD. One source states that was originally built in 774 by St. Virgil, but was replaced by a new structure from 1181-1200 in the Romanesque style. This structure was damaged by fire and reconstructed again in 1598. Yet another structure was built in 1614 under Prince Archbishop Marus Sittikus, which was designed by Santino Solari; it was finally consecrated in more..

Salzburg From the Untersberg

Salzburg From the Untersberg

Steve Bahus
Salzburg was formed from mining gold and salt which is why it is called "Salzburg" because in german this means treasure of salt.

Inhabited by Celts, the city was conquered by the Romans.

W.A. Mozart was born in Salzburg and spent there most of his life.
