Great Festival Hall

The Great Festival Hall is Salzburg Festival's monumental performance venue, built partly into Mönchsberg. Its restrained facade conceals a vast stage and auditorium.

Great Festival Hall

Why go

Even without a performance ticket, the hall matters as a work of twentieth-century cultural architecture inserted into the old city. Guided access reveals the extraordinary width of the stage and the building's relationship to the rock behind it. Check tour availability, because the public exterior alone gives only part of the story.

What to look for

  • Three arched portals punctuate the long, restrained street facade.
  • The exceptionally wide stage is set partly against the Mönchsberg rock.

Useful to know

  • Book a guided tour or performance if you want to see beyond the public facade.
