The Felsenreitschule (literally "rock riding school") is a theatre in Austria and a venue of the Salzburg Festival. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =FELSENREITSCHULE: SALZBURG RIDING SCHOOL )〕 It was built in 1693 under Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun, designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach in the quarry for conglomerate rock used in the new Salzburg Cathedral building. It was used as the archbishop's summer riding school and for animal hunts. The audience took place in the 96 arcade space that is created above the other three floors. Since 1926, the Felsenreitschule has been used for performances of the Salzburger Festspiele. The former audience arcades serve as a natural stage setting. The first production was Carlo Goldoni's The Servant of Two Masters, directed by Max Reinhardt. In 1933, Clemens Holzmeister designed for Max Reinhardt the "Faust Town", a multiple-stage setting for Reinhardt's legendary production of Goethe's "Faust". In 1948 Herbert von Karajan used the Felsenreitschule for the first time as an opera stage for performances of Christoph Willibald Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice. This was followed in 1949 by the premiere of Carl Orff's setting of the ancient tragedy Antigone by Sophocles, translated into German by Friedrich Hölderlin, conducted by Ferenc Fricsay . In the years 1968-1970, the Felsenreitschule was remodeled according to plans by Clemens Holzmeister and was inaugurated with Ludwig van Beethoven's Fidelio under the baton of Karl Böhm.
