Cancellation of the 2020 Salzburg Easter Festival

The Department of Public Order for the City of Salzburg decided on 12 March 2020, in accordance with § 15 of the Law Governing Epidemics, that it is prohibited to hold rehearsals and performances for the Salzburg Easter Festival (4–13 April 2020).

This is in line with the conclusion of the General Meeting, the Advisory Board and the Management that same day that it would be impossible to go ahead with the 2020 Easter Festival on account of the further spread of the virus COVID-19.
 
For the management, employees and artists who have been engaged in long-term preparations for the 2020 Easter Festival, this cancellation is extraordinarily distressing. Naturally, we shall make our contribution to the official measures aimed at containing the pandemic, also to protect our audiences, our artists and the population.

Tickets that have already been bought will be refunded for all performances that have been cancelled (4–13 April and the Children’s Concert of 28 March 2020). To this end, we need certain details from you. Please use the online form. We shall do our best to process these requests speedily, but we must assume that these return remittances will take a lengthy period of time to complete. Given the current special situation, we kindly request your patience in this matter.
