Gloom in Salzburg as Easter festival sells just 81 percent
NewsThe numbers are in for the Salzburg Easter Festival and they are a tad alarming.
One in five tickets went unsold.
Overall occupancy was just over 81%. Lohengrin achieved 89%. Four hundred tickets (out of 16,200) were given to young people and young adults at greatly reduced prices.
This was the first festival at Easter in three years, and it was Christian Thielemann’s last.
It is safe to assume that some of the rich Russian regulars stayed away on their yachts due to the war in Ukraine. This does not augur well for the summer fest.
