Salzburg Music Festival : ウィキペディア英語版
Salzburg Festival

The Salzburg Festival ((ドイツ語:Salzburger Festspiele)) is a prominent festival of music and drama established in 1920. It is held each summer (for five weeks starting in late July) within the Austrian town of Salzburg, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. One highlight is the annual performance of the ''Everyman'' (''Jedermann'') dramatization by Hugo von Hofmannsthal.
Since 1967, an annual ''Salzburg Easter Festival'' has also been held, organized by a separate organization.
==History==
Music festivals had been held in Salzburg at irregular intervals since 1877 held by the International Mozarteum Foundation, but were discontinued in 1910. Although a festival was planned for 1914, it was cancelled at the outbreak of World War I. In 1917, Friedrich Gehmacher and Heinrich Damisch formed an organization known as the ''Salzburger Festspielhaus-Gemeinde'' to establish an annual festival of drama and music, emphasizing especially the works of Mozart.〔Eisen, Cliff & Keefe, Simon P., eds. (2006). ''The Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia'', p. 443. Cambridge University Press.〕 At the close of the war in 1918, the festival's revival was championed by five men now regarded as its founders: the poet and dramatist Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the composer Richard Strauss, the scenic designer Alfred Roller, the conductor Franz Schalk, and the director Max Reinhardt, then intendant of the Deutsches Theater in Berlin, who had produced the first performance of Hofmannsthal's ''Jedermann'' at the Berlin Zirkus Schumann arena in 1911.
The Salzburg Festival was officially inaugurated on 22 August 1920 with Reinhardt's performance of Hofmannsthal's ''Jedermann'' on the steps of Salzburg Cathedral, starring Alexander Moissi. The practice has become a tradition, and the play is now always performed at Cathedral Square; since 1921 it has been accompanied by several performances of chamber music and orchestral works. The first operatic production came in 1922, with Mozart's ''Don Giovanni'' conducted by Richard Strauss. The singers were mainly drawn from the Wiener Staatsoper, including Richard Tauber in the part of Don Ottavio.
The first festival hall was erected in 1925 at the former Archbishops' horse stables on the northern foot of the Mönchsberg mountain, on the basis of plans by Clemens Holzmeister; it opened with Gozzi's ''Turandot'' dramatized by Karl Vollmöller. At that time the festival had already developed a large-scale program including live broadcasts by the Austrian RAVAG radio network. The following year the adjacent former episcopal ''Felsenreitschule'' riding academy, carved into the Mönchsberg rock face, was converted into a theater, inaugurated with a performance of ''Servant of Two Masters'' by Carlo Goldoni. In the 21st century, the original festival hall, suitable only for concerts, was reconstructed as a third venue for fully staged opera and concert performances and reopened in 2006 as the Haus für Mozart (House for Mozart).
During the years from 1934 to 1937 famed conductors such as Arturo Toscanini and Bruno Walter conducted many performances. In 1936, the festival featured a performance by the Trapp Family Singers, whose story was later dramatized as the musical and film ''The Sound of Music'' (featuring a scene of the Trapp Family singing at the ''Felsenreitschule'', but inaccurately set in 1938). In 1937, Boyd Neel and his orchestra premiered Benjamin Britten’s ''Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge'' at the Festival.〔''The Gramophone'', June 1972, p. 178〕
The Festival's popularity suffered a major blow as a consequence of the ''Anschluss'', the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938. Toscanini resigned in protest, artists of Jewish descent like Reinhardt and Georg Solti had to emigrate, and ''Jedermann'', last performed by Attila Hörbiger, had to be dropped. Nevertheless the festival remained in operation until in 1944 it was cancelled by the order of Reich Minister Joseph Goebbels in reaction to the 20 July plot. At the end of World War II, the Salzburg Festival reopened in summer 1945 immediately after the Allied victory in Europe.
