Austria’s Salzburg Festival (Salzburger Festspiele) has announced its performance lineup for 2023. According to the announcement, the festival will run from July 20 to August 31.

There will be eight operas, including new productions, revivals, and concert-style productions. Three new productions will be presented: Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro,” directed by Martin Kušej; Verdi’s “Macbeth,” directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski; and Verdi’s “Falstaff,” directed by Christoph Martaler.

In addition, Gluck’s “Orfeo e Euridice,” featuring Cecilia Bartoli, artistic director of the Pentecostal Festival, will be performed at the Summer Festival.

Three works will be performed in concert format. The Utopia Orchestra led by Teodor Currentzis will perform Purcell’s “The Queen of India,” the Mozarteum Orchestra under Marco Armiliato will perform Bellini’s “Capuleti and Montecchi,” and John Eliot Gardiner with Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique take Berlioz’s “The Trojans”.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the “resident orchestra” of the festival, will conduct five conductors. Christian Thielemann, Andris Nelsons, Riccardo Muti, Franz Welser-Möst, and Jakub Hrůša will take the podium.

Meanwhile, the 2023 “Mozart Matinee” concert will be conducted by Ivor Bolton, Roberto González-Monjas, Adam Fischer, Jörg Wittmann, and Antonello Manacorda.

The lineup of recitalists and other artists is as impressive as ever, including Pierre-Laurent Emard, Igor Levitt, Evgeny Kissin, Renaud Capuçon, András Schiff, Grigory Sokolov, Arkady Volodos, and Mitsuko Uchida.

The guest orchestras are Camerata Salzburg (conducted by Manfred Honeck), the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra (Ingo Metzmacher), the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra (Elim Chang), the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (Daniel Barenboim), the Gustav Mahler Jugend Orchestra (Jakub Hrůša), and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (Kirill Petrenko).
