Internationally famous stars draw culture buffs and the high society to Salzburg each summer.High art festivals don’t get nearly the media or pop culture attention they used to get, but this is one made for the ages. A collateral benefit is getting to spend time in the fairy tale, delightful city of Salzburg during the beautiful summer months. But, Salzburg doesn’t just focus on classical music as a handful of the 200 assorted performances are showcases for modern music and drama.
