Every summer, the Austrian city of Salzburg transforms into the world’s capital of classical music, opera, and theatre. The Salzburg Festival, held from July 18 to August 31, 2025, is a cultural institution like no other—nestled in the birthplace of Mozart and celebrated as one of Europe's most prestigious international festivals. The Salzburg Festival is not only a celebration of the arts but also one of the most prestigious cultural events in Europe, attracting royalty, heads of state, celebrities, and connoisseurs of high culture.
To experience this iconic festival in all its glory, traveling by private jet charter with MS JETS ensures you arrive in complete comfort, at your own schedule, and with an experience worthy of the event itself.
The History of the Salzburg Festival
The Salzburg Festival was founded in 1920 by a group of visionaries: the poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the director Max Reinhardt, the composer Richard Strauss, the stage designer Alfred Roller, and conductor Franz Schalk.
Their dream was to create a cultural event that would showcase the finest in music and theatre, while reviving the artistic spirit of post-war Europe.
The very first performance – Jedermann (Everyman) by Hofmannsthal – was staged on Salzburg’s Cathedral Square. To this day, this play remains a cornerstone of the festival, performed annually in the open air, against the breathtaking backdrop of Salzburg’s baroque architecture.
Over the decades, the festival has grown into a six-week celebration that presents world-class opera, concerts, and theatre performances, featuring the greatest artists of our time. It is now widely regarded as the most important classical music festival in the world.
