Why Karajan founded the Salzburg Easter Festival (Documentary 1966 | English subtitles)

In 2020 the Easter Festival had to be cancelled due to Covid-19. It was the very first time since its inception by Herbert von Karajan that the Easter Festival did not take place. To ease the disappointment Pia Bernauer, Head of Archive at the Karajan Institute in Salzburg decided to get a fascinating documentary from the archive. In this almost forgotten documentary Herbert von Karajan talks about his vision and motivation to start the Easter Festival. Furthermore he explains his programmatic choices and how the Easter Festival with its focus on Wagner operas has its legitimate place besides the Bayreuth Festival. Enjoy this very first episode of our new video series "TREASURES FROM THE ARCHIVE".

Producer & Host: Pia Bernauer, Karajan Institute, Salzburg
