When the Salzburg Festival presented its 100-year anniversary season with more than 200 perfor- mances in 15 venues over 44 days in Salzburg, London, Paris, Moscow, Tokyo and New York in November 2019, the preparations for this largest and most important classical music festival were already in full swing and the expectations for an extraordinary summer of music were enormous.
Barely four months later, not only society faced one of the greatest challenges since the end of the Second World War, but also the Salzburg Festival. Founded in 1920 as a project in a time of greatest need against the crisis (World War I was followed by the Spanish Flu), the Festival courageously recalled their founding idea – art as “food” and meaning of life – and decided not to cancel the anniversary festival prematurely, but to wait for the development of the pandemic and not to make the decision until the end of May 2020, two months before the Festival began.
The Festival came up in time with a security concept, which not only became the new standard but made it possible, also thanks to the Austrian approach of a gradual relaxation for the cultural sector, to present music, theatre, concerts and opera to an larger audience. With incredible 110 performances in 30 days at 8 venues, the Salzburg Festival finally became not only a triumph for the arts under completely different external conditions, but also the strongest, most vital and most essential signal for the music world around the globe.
The artists created unforgettable and unusually touching experiences. In this catalogue we are proud to present to you their stunning achievements in the most extensive audio-visual recording project in the history of the Salzburg Festival.
UNITEL would like to use this occasion to thank all artists, the Salzburg Festival as well as its project partners ORF, ARTE, ZDF, WDR, BR, RBB and ARTE Concert.

WITHOUT THE WIENER PHILHARMONIKER, THERE WOULD PERHAPS STILL BE A FESTIVAL IN SALZBURG, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE THE SALZBURG FESTIVAL. “The Wiener Philharmoniker are part of the identity of the Salzburg Festival. And in turn the Salzburg Festival is significant part of the identity of the Wiener Philharmoniker. This orchestra has performed so often in Salzburg and is such an important part of our cultural life that it could be called the ‘Salzburg Philharmonic’” Helga Rabl-Stadler, President of the Salzburg Festival
