The Salzburger Landestheater at Schwarzstraße 22, 5020 Salzburg, is a cultural centerpiece of the city. The historic theater, built in 1893 by architects Fellner & Helmer, provides an impressive backdrop for operas, plays, and ballet performances. With its combination of classical architecture and modern program, the theater is an important part of cultural life in Salzburg.

The theater has a capacity of 707 seats and is also one of the venues of the Salzburger Festspiele during the summer. In addition to original productions, guest performances and shows by the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg regularly take place here. The thematic focus of the 2024/2025 season emphasizes the tension between adventure and responsibility and offers a wide spectrum from opera to contemporary theater.

Hänsel und Gretel - Premiere
12/7/2024 at 7:00 PM / Salzburg

The housework is not done, a wild dance in the kitchen - a jug of milk breaks: So the mother sends Hänsel and Gretel to collect berries in the forest. Unusually in a good mood, the father comes home. He has brought along some proper delicacies:

"Bacon and butter, flour and sausages, fourteen eggs, beans, onions, and - oh dear! - even a quarter pound of coffee!" - a rare feast for the poor broom maker's family. But where are the children? The parents quickly set out to search, because there are many dangers lurking in the forest for the little ones. Eventually, every child knows that the wicked witch is up to mischief there - but Hänsel and Gretel have lost their way in the mysterious forest and encounter strange beings.

"Hänsel und Gretel" is one of the most popular and frequently performed operas worldwide and has fascinated both young and old since its premiere on December 23, 1893, under the baton of Engelbert Humperdinck's close friend Richard Strauss. This may also be because "Hänsel und Gretel" was originally created for the children of the Wette family, Humperdinck's nieces and nephews, and therefore was conceived as a family piece before the composer reworked the work into a full-length opera.

After a singspiel version, Engelbert Humperdinck (1854–1921) completed the through-composed version in 1893. Its impressive orchestral sound depictively traces the eerie sounds and shadows of the nocturnal forest. Folk-like melodies such as "A Man Stands in the Forest" delight as well as the songs of the witch or the evening prayer, which, modeled after Richard Wagner's leitmotifs, runs as a recurring theme throughout the entire piece.

The works of Thomas Mika have already been experienced in Moscow, Paris, at La Scala in Milan, the Vienna State Opera, and the Zurich Opera. For the Salzburg State Theatre, he created the double bill "Yolanda / The Nutcracker" by Tchaikovsky as a set and stage designer and director. He is also fully responsible for "Hänsel und Gretel". Music Director Leslie Suganandarajah conducts the Mozarteumorchester.

GALT MACDERMOT
The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical

In German language with English song lyrics

Book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado / Music by Galt MacDermot / German translation by Nico Rabenald

REVIVAL: SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 / LANDESTHEATER
Welcome to the "Age of Aquarius," a time of change, a time without racism, without war. "Hair" is considered a milestone in pop culture and captures the spirit of the young generation like no other musical, not only from the 60s but also from the Hippie movement to Fridays For Future.

Due to the overwhelming demand from the 2022/2023 performance series at the Felsenreitschule, the production will now be shown again at the Landestheater.

Faust2
12/12/2024 at 7:30 PM / Salzburg

"Two souls alas, reside in my breast" – is one of the most famous lines from Goethe's "Faust." This is not only the best possible description of an inner conflict, but can also be seen as an indication that Faust and Mephisto can be understood as two sides of the same person: Two principles that sometimes merge and sometimes stand in opposition. On one side, Faust, the researcher who suffers under the narrow limits of science and wishes he could be a god who can create humans and ultimately himself anew; on the other side, Mephisto, the player and trickster who masters the craft of deception and comes across as the personification of a license to transgress boundaries.

Based on the fluid identity of this duo, Carl Philip von Maldeghem tells the great world theater material that has captivated him since his opening production of "Faust I" at the Salzburg Landestheater fifteen years ago and his subsequent staging of "Faust II." This time, his aim is to make "Faust I and II" experienceable in one evening. However, the focus is not on the sheer expanse of the material, but on its condensation. In this new approach to Faust exploration, the concentration is on the essence of the story and on what holds together the core of this great work.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832), poet, politician, and natural scientist, continued to work on the Faust material throughout his writing life, creating a literary alter ego of his path of knowledge that leads through all spheres, from art and science, the human tragedy to world politics.

Gregor Schulz and Nikola Jaritz-Rudle are ready to embody Faust and Mephisto as full-blooded actors. Set designer Christian Floeren, who has realized over 300 stage and costume designs – including at the Opera in Istanbul and the Vienna State Opera – regularly collaborates with Carl Philip von Maldeghem.

Die Schneekönigin
12/14/2024 at 3:00 PM / Salzburg

With "The Snow Queen", the play for the whole family, the former head of the Young Land department, Astrid Großgasteiger, returns to the Salzburg Landestheater. In her own version of the fairy tale, she will especially highlight the magical moments of this work.

The Snow Queen is one of the few chosen ones who possess magical abilities. To zip to any place on the world in a flash, to fly, to speak with animals, to be invisible, or to breathe under water – having superpowers could be so spectacular, exciting, and incredibly awesome. But she actually just wants to belong. Because being special often makes one darn lonely. She is so deeply sad about it that not even the lively raccoon Ville can cheer her up, even though he's a born entertainer. He had taken on the arduous journey to the Northland only to find the legendary Magic Mirror. And now he is the lapdog of a lonely queen, truly ignominious for a genuine raccoon. But when, out of clumsiness, he shatters the Magic Mirror and all the shards shoot off like lightning, a great magical commotion begins.

The Rocky Horror Show

By Arrangement with Mehr-BB Entertainment GmbH and The Rocky Horror Company Ltd.
Resumption December 27, 2022 / Landestheater

"I see you shiver with antici... - pation!" And indeed: to say that Richard O'Brien's musical evokes a trembling of joyful anticipation is a gross understatement. At the latest, the film adaptation has turned this sling-traumatic roller coaster ride through science fiction, glam rock, pornography, and horror aesthetics into a cult hit.

It all starts quite innocently: Janet and Brad, a newly in love, somewhat prim couple, run out of air in the car tires in the middle of nowhere. They seek help at a nearby old castle - and encounter a wild celebration of aliens from the planet Transsexual. Among them is Dr. Frank'n'Furter, who is presenting his latest invention: a artificially created, muscle-bound man named Rocky, created solely for the scientist's – sexual – pleasure. However, it quickly becomes apparent that Frank'n'Furter has some literal skeletons in the closet. Janet and Brad are unlikely to forget this night so quickly... "The Rocky Horror Show" is trash, taboo-breaking, and sexual provocation. And proud of it! In fact, the musical celebrates all of these things, but remains honest, even touching, and invites us to turn our "secret pleasures" into pure joy.

Both the film and the musical are considered absolute cult classics that one must experience, preferably with the participation fan bag, which includes glow sticks, party hats, and even playing cards for throwing. Singing along is expressly allowed at the Salzburg Landestheater, and good spirits are guaranteed with the team led by Marco Dott.

"I see you shiver with antici... - pation!" And indeed: to say that Richard O'Brien's musical evokes a trembling of joyful anticipation is a gross understatement. At the latest, the film adaptation has turned this sling-traumatic roller coaster ride through science fiction, glam rock, pornography, and horror aesthetics into a cult hit.

It all starts quite innocently: Janet and Brad, a newly in love, somewhat prim couple, run out of air in the car tires in the middle of nowhere. They seek help at a nearby old castle - and encounter a wild celebration of aliens from the planet Transsexual. Among them is Dr. Frank'n'Furter, who is presenting his latest invention: a artificially created, muscle-bound man named Rocky, created solely for the scientist's – sexual – pleasure. However, it quickly becomes apparent that Frank'n'Furter has some literal skeletons in the closet. Janet and Brad are unlikely to forget this night so quickly... "The Rocky Horror Show" is trash, taboo-breaking, and sexual provocation. And proud of it! In fact, the musical celebrates all of these things, but remains honest, even touching, and invites us to turn our "secret pleasures" into pure joy.

Both the film and the musical are considered absolute cult classics that one must experience, preferably with the participation fan bag, which includes glow sticks, party hats, and even playing cards for throwing. Singing along is expressly allowed at the Salzburg Landestheater, and good spirits are guaranteed with the team led by Marco Dott.

Duration: 2 hours / one intermission

Hänsel und Gretel
1/3/2025 at 7:30 PM / Salzburg

The housework is not done, a wild dance in the kitchen - a jug of milk breaks: So the mother sends Hänsel and Gretel to collect berries in the forest. Unusually in a good mood, the father comes home. He has brought along some proper delicacies:

"Bacon and butter, flour and sausages, fourteen eggs, beans, onions, and - oh dear! - even a quarter pound of coffee!" - a rare feast for the poor broom maker's family. But where are the children? The parents quickly set out to search, because there are many dangers lurking in the forest for the little ones. Eventually, every child knows that the wicked witch is up to mischief there - but Hänsel and Gretel have lost their way in the mysterious forest and encounter strange beings.

"Hänsel und Gretel" is one of the most popular and frequently performed operas worldwide and has fascinated both young and old since its premiere on December 23, 1893, under the baton of Engelbert Humperdinck's close friend Richard Strauss. This may also be because "Hänsel und Gretel" was originally created for the children of the Wette family, Humperdinck's nieces and nephews, and therefore was conceived as a family piece before the composer reworked the work into a full-length opera.

After a singspiel version, Engelbert Humperdinck (1854–1921) completed the through-composed version in 1893. Its impressive orchestral sound depictively traces the eerie sounds and shadows of the nocturnal forest. Folk-like melodies such as "A Man Stands in the Forest" delight as well as the songs of the witch or the evening prayer, which, modeled after Richard Wagner's leitmotifs, runs as a recurring theme throughout the entire piece.

The works of Thomas Mika have already been experienced in Moscow, Paris, at La Scala in Milan, the Vienna State Opera, and the Zurich Opera. For the Salzburg State Theatre, he created the double bill "Yolanda / The Nutcracker" by Tchaikovsky as a set and stage designer and director. He is also fully responsible for "Hänsel und Gretel". Music Director Leslie Suganandarajah conducts the Mozarteumorchester.

Die Schneekönigin

With "The Snow Queen", the play for the whole family, the former head of the Young Land department, Astrid Großgasteiger, returns to the Salzburg Landestheater. In her own version of the fairy tale, she will especially highlight the magical moments of this work.

The Snow Queen is one of the few chosen ones who possess magical abilities. To zip to any place on the world in a flash, to fly, to speak with animals, to be invisible, or to breathe under water – having superpowers could be so spectacular, exciting, and incredibly awesome. But she actually just wants to belong. Because being special often makes one darn lonely. She is so deeply sad about it that not even the lively raccoon Ville can cheer her up, even though he's a born entertainer. He had taken on the arduous journey to the Northland only to find the legendary Magic Mirror. And now he is the lapdog of a lonely queen, truly ignominious for a genuine raccoon. But when, out of clumsiness, he shatters the Magic Mirror and all the shards shoot off like lightning, a great magical commotion begins.

Faust2
1/17/2025 at 7:30 PM / Salzburg

"Two souls alas, reside in my breast" – is one of the most famous lines from Goethe's "Faust." This is not only the best possible description of an inner conflict, but can also be seen as an indication that Faust and Mephisto can be understood as two sides of the same person: Two principles that sometimes merge and sometimes stand in opposition. On one side, Faust, the researcher who suffers under the narrow limits of science and wishes he could be a god who can create humans and ultimately himself anew; on the other side, Mephisto, the player and trickster who masters the craft of deception and comes across as the personification of a license to transgress boundaries.

Based on the fluid identity of this duo, Carl Philip von Maldeghem tells the great world theater material that has captivated him since his opening production of "Faust I" at the Salzburg Landestheater fifteen years ago and his subsequent staging of "Faust II." This time, his aim is to make "Faust I and II" experienceable in one evening. However, the focus is not on the sheer expanse of the material, but on its condensation. In this new approach to Faust exploration, the concentration is on the essence of the story and on what holds together the core of this great work.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832), poet, politician, and natural scientist, continued to work on the Faust material throughout his writing life, creating a literary alter ego of his path of knowledge that leads through all spheres, from art and science, the human tragedy to world politics.

Gregor Schulz and Nikola Jaritz-Rudle are ready to embody Faust and Mephisto as full-blooded actors. Set designer Christian Floeren, who has realized over 300 stage and costume designs – including at the Opera in Istanbul and the Vienna State Opera – regularly collaborates with Carl Philip von Maldeghem.

With charm and ski, the new musical tells of one of the greatest passions in Austria: skiing. The occasion of the 2025 Ski World Championships in the Salzburg region, the Austrian gene of hospitality, and the pressure in professional skiing are the ingredients for the musical "Skiverliebt."

At the center of the story is the local ski racer Anna. She jets around the world and continually exceeds herself: Anna is the star on skis. But the announcement that the Ski World Championships will take place in her hometown plunges her into emotional chaos. Her ski instructor boyfriend Franz, the (un)frozen journalist Hanna from Hamburg, the WC organizing chief Joe, the Brazilian ski champion Camilla, and the melancholic snowcat driver Leopold also add to this chaos. The tourist guests are always there too, because Saturdays mean "bed change." Luckily, Jessica's hotel serves the best Kaiserschmarrn in the world to comfort everyone.

The setting of the 2025 Ski World Championships in the winter sports resort of Saalbach-Hinterglemm is the backdrop and inspiration for the story, where the joy of skiing, natural beauty, and tourism intersect. If "Im weißen Rössl" is the most beautiful Austrian summer operetta, then the commissioned work of the "two planks that mean the world" aims to become the Austrian winter musical. Martin Lingnau contributes a score written for a full orchestra, where besides Austro-pop songs, waltz delight, après-ski hits, and other exciting melodies come together.

Martin Lingnau is one of the most successful German-speaking composers. In Salzburg, his music was heard in the musical "Der Schuh des Manitu." Lyricist Frank Ramond has worked for Barbara Schöneberger, Annett Louisan, and Udo Lindenberg. Authentic dialogues are provided by the Austrian author Anna Lukasser-Weitlaner, who grew up in the winter sports paradise of East Tyrol.

Musical professional Andreas Gergen, following the evergreen "The Sound of Music" and the premiere of "Rock Me, Amadeus" by Falco, now presents a new musical with a strong Austrian focus for its premiere. The Second Kapellmeister Tobias Meichsner conducts the Mozarteumorchester.

Faust2
2/5/2025 at 7:30 PM / Salzburg

"Two souls alas, reside in my breast" – is one of the most famous lines from Goethe's "Faust." This is not only the best possible description of an inner conflict, but can also be seen as an indication that Faust and Mephisto can be understood as two sides of the same person: Two principles that sometimes merge and sometimes stand in opposition. On one side, Faust, the researcher who suffers under the narrow limits of science and wishes he could be a god who can create humans and ultimately himself anew; on the other side, Mephisto, the player and trickster who masters the craft of deception and comes across as the personification of a license to transgress boundaries.

Based on the fluid identity of this duo, Carl Philip von Maldeghem tells the great world theater material that has captivated him since his opening production of "Faust I" at the Salzburg Landestheater fifteen years ago and his subsequent staging of "Faust II." This time, his aim is to make "Faust I and II" experienceable in one evening. However, the focus is not on the sheer expanse of the material, but on its condensation. In this new approach to Faust exploration, the concentration is on the essence of the story and on what holds together the core of this great work.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832), poet, politician, and natural scientist, continued to work on the Faust material throughout his writing life, creating a literary alter ego of his path of knowledge that leads through all spheres, from art and science, the human tragedy to world politics.

Gregor Schulz and Nikola Jaritz-Rudle are ready to embody Faust and Mephisto as full-blooded actors. Set designer Christian Floeren, who has realized over 300 stage and costume designs – including at the Opera in Istanbul and the Vienna State Opera – regularly collaborates with Carl Philip von Maldeghem.
