July 26 - August 31, 2024
All the city is a stage: And also this year, Siemens Fest>Spiel>Nächte will do its part to ensure the Salzburg Festival once again lives up to that claim. Projected onto the big screen installed on Kapitelplatz will be an array of Festival highlights past and present – amid the unique setting of the Salzburg historic district.
So, what draws visitors to the Kapitelplatz every day during the Festival? Siemens Fest>Spiel>Nächte, an exceptionally successful cooperation between the Salzburg Festival, ORF Salzburg, Siemens Austria and Unitel. This open-air spectacle is one of the biggest cultural public-viewing events in Europe. And a “Free Festival for All”: both those who were unable to get hold of last-minute tickets, as well as those who couldn’t, or simply chose not to afford them; for locals as well as international guests.
A marvelous opportunity to enjoy culture beneath open skies, right next to the cathedral and with views of Hohensalzburg Fortress. None of Salzburg’s indoor Festival venues can offer such a unique backdrop! The Kapitelplatz, on the other hand, serves as an open-air stage during Siemens Fest>Spiel>Nächte. Whether sat down in the rows of seating, sipping on a glass of wine in front of one of the restaurant tents, or simply strolling by – this event is always guaranteed to captivate with its magical atmosphere.
At Siemens Fest>Spiel>Nächte, you can once again enjoy highlight performances from years past. Some performances from the current program are also shown – and even premieres. Live broadcasts allow you to experience the very latest productions at the exact same time as audiences inside the festival halls.
This open-air event is made possible by state-of-the-art audio and video technology. A daylight-compatible LED screen provides great video images even in the sunshine. An ingenious sound system with spatial simulation guarantees perfect acoustics.
So that Siemens Fest>Spiel>Nächte is able to promise enjoyment for all the senses, food & beverage services begin one hour before the start of the performance. In the restaurant tents with a clear view of the screen, you can look forward to a true culinary pampering: from cold hors d’oeuvres to grill specialties and desserts.
