/// DESIGN TROTTER / Salzbourg — Austria Salzbourg — Austria / DESIGN TROTTER ///

Time for some The theater was constructed within the walls of some
former baroque horse stables in 1925. The original
inspiration? Nothing less than the prestigious Vienna
HAUSmusik enlarged in the 1930s, before being totally redesigned
State Opera. At first an intimate setting, the theater was
by our architects in the year 2000.
The auditorium was shortened, widened and lowered,
then given two levels of balconies on either side. Here,
HAUS FÜR MOZART
the architecture was designed to serve the fourth
SALZBOURG (AUSTRIA) art: music. Each refurbishment and each part of the
new layout were carefully thought out, so that from
WILHELM HOLZBAUER AND HERMANN & VALENTINY
every seat, each theater-goer can hear even the most
pianissimo of notes.
The foyer was adorned with a vast gilded wall in 1939,
which was eventually given windows to allow in the
bright lights from the city outside.
SALZBURG IN THE SPOTLIGHT
When Wilhelm Holzbauer and Hermann & Valentiny
took to the stage in Salzburg, it was to redesign
the Festival theater known as the Haus für Mozart
(House for Mozart). A long, sober facade masks
a unique 1,571-seat opera house, finely crafted
to appreciate the works of the great composer
during the Austrian city's annual festival.
