Just in: Salzburg Festival president ‘will stay for 100 years’
mainHelga Rabl-Stadler, president of the Salzburg Festival since 1995, has applied for another term and says she’s good for a century.
Helga, who is 68, steadied the ship after the turbulent Mortier era.
Her family run Austria’s media. Her father was long-serving intendant of the national broadcaster ORF. Her husband was editor of the mass daily Kurier. When Helga runs for renewal in Salzburg she will probably do so unopposed.
