Salzburg July/August 2024

After missing two years, I am planning to go back to Salzburg for the 2024 Festival. I managed to find some good deals for accommodation so I might be able to afford the airfare which seems to go up every year. I'm hoping to get tickets for fifteen concerts over twenty-two days. You apply now and they tell you what tickets you have been allotted in May. So I am hoping to see Jordi Savall and Concert des Nations do Charpentier and Pärt, the Mozarteum Orchestra with the Linz Symphony and the Piano Concerto K 466 with Lukas Sternath, Don Giovanni, Lea Desandre and the Jupiter Ensemble with Dowland et al, Schoenberg chamber music, Weinberg The Idiot, choral music by Mozart with the Mozarteum Orchestra and chorus, piano recitals by Sokolov, Levit, Aimard, Kissin, Volodos and Kantorow, another Mozarteum Orchestra concert with Regula Mühlemann (soprano) and finally, the Vienna Philharmonic doing Bruckner Symphony No. 8. I doubt there is anywhere else on earth you could see and hear all that in three weeks. Mind you, there are likely better places for just opera.
