The Salzburg Festival Prepares to Turn 100

What a difference a century makes.

When the Salzburg Festival in Austria was first held, in the summer of 1920, it consisted of just half a dozen performances of Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s morality play “Jedermann” (“Everyman”).

Since then, the festival has grown into one of the grandest events on the world’s cultural calendar. It will celebrate its centennial next summer with more than 200 performances in 44 days of operas, symphonies, concerts and plays. Music with a local angle by Mozart (Salzburg’s favorite son) and Richard Strauss (one of the festival’s founders) will be featured, as will 20th-century modernists such as Luigi Nono and Morton Feldman, who have been prized by the festival’s artistic director, Markus Hinterhäuser.

“One hundred years means that we have this incredible history at the Salzburg Festival,” Mr. Hinterhäuser said in a telephone interview. “But this history is not a burden at all. It’s inspiring.”

Here is a look at some highlights of the centennial program, which was announced on Wednesday morning.

Opera

Strauss’s “Elektra” will star Ausrine Stundyte in the title role and Asmik Grigorian, who has had celebrated recent appearances at the festival, as Chrysothemis. The production will be directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski; Franz Welser-Möst conducts the Vienna Philharmonic.

The festival will pay homage to Mozart with a production of “Don Giovanni” directed by Romeo Castellucci, with Teodor Currentzis conducting the orchestra he founded, musicAeterna. And Lydia Steier’s staging of Mozart’s “Die Zauberflöte” will return, with Joana Mallwitz conducting the Vienna Philharmonic.

Diva turns include Anna Netrebko in Puccini’s “Tosca” (in a Michael Sturminger staging from the Salzburg Easter Festival) and Cecilia Bartoli in Donizetti’s “Don Pasquale,” in a production directed by Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier that will originate at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival, of which Ms. Bartoli is the artistic director, in the spring.

A Christof Loy production of Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov” will feature Ildar Abdrazakov in the title role and is scheduled to be conducted by Mariss Jansons, who had to cancel a Carnegie Hall concert this month because of illness. Nono’s “Intolleranza 1960,” based on texts by Brecht, Sartre, Vladimir Mayakovsky and others, will be conducted by Ingo Metzmacher and directed by Jan Lauwers.

Plácido Domingo, whose American opera career has dried up following news reports accusing him of sexual harassment (which he has disputed), was invited back to Salzburg to sing Monforte in concert performances of Verdi’s “I Vespri Siciliani.”

Orchestras

The festival’s house band, the Vienna Philharmonic, will be led by a group of first-rank maestros: Gustavo Dudamel, Mr. Jansons, Riccardo Muti, Andris Nelsons and Christian Thielemann. Visiting orchestras include the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla; the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, with Daniel Barenboim; the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, with Manfred Honeck; and the Berlin Philharmonic, led by its new chief conductor, Kirill Petrenko.

Concerts

Igor Levit will play the full cycle of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas in eight concerts to mark the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth next year; the roster of major pianists also includes Maurizio Pollini, Andras Schiff, Grigory Sokolov and Daniil Trifonov.

A four-concert mini-festival, “Still Life,” will be devoted to the music of Feldman. Christian Gerhaher and Matthias Goerne, among other singers, will give lieder recitals. One concert will pair the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter with the pianist Lambert Orkis, while another will pair the violinist Renaud Capuçon with the pianist Martha Argerich.
