Frommer's Review
Designed by Wolf Dietrich and built in 1607, this festival hall was once the court stables. Today it's the center for the major musical events of Salzburg, its cultural activity peaking during the August festival. The modern hall seats 2,300 spectators, and most major concerts and big operas are performed here. Many outstanding Austrian artists contributed to the decoration of the modern Festival Hall. Note: Tours are canceled if there is a rehearsal or performance of virtually anything -- so this is no longer a major stop on the Salzburg tourist scene, but a grace note fitted in for music buffs when more pressing musical or theatrical events don't override it.
