    Complaints about what? It was under restoration. If anything the complaints should have been about the author of this blog’s failure to investigate the case fully.

    Very good to see. Knowing a fair number of Salzburgers who have worked with the Festspiele for years I found it hard to believe this had been allowed to happen at all.
