Salzburg Music Festival - Salzburger Festspiel

Japanese: ザルツブルク音楽祭 - ざるつぶるくおんがくさい(英語表記)Salzburger Festspiel
Salzburg Music Festival - Salzburger Festspiel

This music-focused festival is held every August in Salzburg, Austria, the birthplace of Mozart. Its history dates back to 1877, but it became an annual event after the Vienna Festival Theatre Association was founded in 1920. After 1921, orchestral music and chamber music concerts of Mozart's works were added, and opera performances were added the following year. In the 1930s, great conductors such as Walter, Toscanini, E. Kleiber, and Klemperer appeared. During World War II, the festival was scaled down or canceled, but after the war, it became even more lively due to an expansion of the repertoire, the appearance of world-class orchestras, and the completion of the Great Festival Theatre (1960). The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is the center of orchestral and opera performances, and a variety of other events such as solo performances and chamber music concerts are also held.

モーツァルトの生地、オーストリアのザルツブルクで毎年8月に開催される、音楽を主体とするフェスティバル。その歴史は1877年にさかのぼるが、1920年にウィーンに祝祭劇場協会が設立されてから、毎年恒例の催しとなった。1921年以後モーツァルトの作品によるオーケストラ音楽、室内楽の演奏会、翌年からはオペラの上演が加わり、30年代にはワルター、トスカニーニ、E・クライバー、クレンペラーらの大指揮者が登場した。第二次世界大戦中は縮小ないし中止されたが、戦後は曲目の拡大、世界の一流管弦楽団の登場、祝祭大劇場の完成(1960)などにより、いっそうの活況を呈している。ウィーン・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団がオーケストラおよびオペラ公演の中心となり、ほかに独唱や室内楽演奏会など多彩な催しが繰り広げられている。
