Around the Music Festival

The Salzburg Whitsun Festival in Austria has extended its contract with artistic director Cecilia Bartoli. Bartoli has held the position since 2012, and with this contract renewal, her term will be extended until 2031.

Bartoli is a 59-year-old native of Rome. She gained attention early on as a Rossini singer and continues to be active as a leading mezzo-soprano with her clear, noble voice. In addition to Mozart, she has recently been devoting herself to discovering and reviving Vivaldi’s operas.
