Programme presentation:
Mozart Week 2026

Artistic Director Rolando Villazón and the team of the International Mozarteum Foundation are delighted to present the programme for Mozart Week 26!

The year 2026 marks two major anniversaries: the 270th birthday of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart and the 70th edition of Mozart Week. The world’s most important Mozart festival celebrates this double jubilee with a new production of the most beloved opera of all time: Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

The production will be staged by Rolando Villazón and conducted by Roberto González-Monjas with the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg.

Surrounding this operatic highlight is a rich and vibrant programme of 70 events, including top-class orchestral and chamber concerts. Among them are farewell appearances by two legendary ensembles, as well as a variety of other offerings: enchanting marionette theatre with live music, performance art, cinema featuring rare early films inspired by Mozart, readings, artist talks, a pub quiz, family events and much more.

Mozart Week takes place from 22 January to 1 February 2026.
