Salzburg, capital of music for 2020: with innovation and new green trends,
the land of Mozart is preparing for the new year
In the annual appointment with the Best in Travel rankings, published by Lonely Planet, the city of Salzburg stands out at the top of the ten cities you absolutely must visit in 2020.
For Salzburg, 2020 will be the centenary year of the Festival. For a century, the capital of Salzburgerland has been a setting for lyric operas, classical music concerts and theatrical performances, and next year it will be especially so, with special exhibitions and events all over the Old Town, as well as prose recitals, readings and Mozart matinées.
The spotlight is already trained on Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s beloved Jedermann, based on a medieval morality play and staged in Domplatz in Salzburg, exactly one hundred years after its first performance at the Salzburger Festspiele in 1920, an appointment that has become one of the most important events dedicated to music and lyric opera in the world.
The Festival was founded in 1920 as a peace project intended to bring together the peoples of Europe after the horrors of the Great War. The 2020 edition will be an opportunity to reflect on the birth and development of the event and it opens new perspectives on the future of the Festival.
The real highlight of the next edition will be the ‘Great World Theatre – The Salzburg Festival Centenary’ exhibition, which will run from 25 April to 31 October in the Neue Residenz. The appointment is the result of the cooperation between the Salzburg Museum and the Salzburg Festival, and it offers a retrospective on the history of the Festival in these hundred years of successes: a festival that does more than merely act as an engine.
Choosing Salzburg, and its UNESCO World Heritage Site Old Town, as a starting point allows you to explore Salzburgerland, a land that stands out for its breathtaking landscapes and the beauty of its naturalistic variety.
Furthermore, among the trends that it will be possible to experience in 2020 amid the lush vegetation of Salzburgerland don’t miss Forest Bathing, an honest-to-goodness immersion in the natural setting in full respect of the environment with excursions and yoga, aimed at educating on wellbeing by taking advantage of the contact with the territory.
So, if you are looking for an all-green holiday in full respect of the territory amid nature and culture, you should check out Salzburgerland to experience dreamy countryside a few kilometres from the capital of classical music for 2020.
