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.

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”.
