The Large Hall of the Mozarteum
The "Large Hall" (800 seats) of the Mozarteum, home of the International Mozarteum Foundation which has been dedicated to the preservation of Mozart's legacy for 150 years, is the venue for most of the concerts held by the International Mozarteum Foundation, for the Mozart matinees and for concerts during the Salzburg Festival. The hall accommodates an audience of 800 (concert seating). The hall's unique ambiance lends a festive and exclusive atmosphere to every event.
Next to the Large Hall, the intermission foyer with its buffet leads directly to the "Bastion Garden", whose access to the Mirabell Gardens offers guests a stunning view of Salzburg. The entrance to the Large Hall with its spacious foyer, wardrobes and staircases, is an brilliant piece of architecture.
The Mozarteum has well-equipped secondary rooms and an outstanding infrastructure.

The Auditorium
In preparation for the approaching Mozart Year, the Auditorium of the old university, the hall where Mozart once performed, has been completely redesigned and renovated.
Salzburg played a leading role in southern Germany's cultural life during the 17th century. The tradition of the Benedictine theater was instrumental in causing the Large Auditorium to be installed at the university in 1631. The Large Theater existed until 1800, witnessing the performance of over 500 plays and music from all of Salzburg's great composers. Mozart's first opera, Apollo et Hyacinthus, premiered on May 13,1767. Today the Large Auditorium is the most important assembly room at Salzburg University.
The stage and backstage areas were enlarged during the course of the renovation work. The view of the stage was significantly improved by designing the seats in tiers rising one above the other. In addition to installing dressing rooms for the artists and redesigning the hall to accommodate wheelchairs, new sanitary facilities and wardrobes were also provided for the audience.
An improvement of the acoustics was absolutely essential for a first-rate concert experience. The construction of a separate foyer by expanding towards the Furtwängler Park completely separated the events sector from regular university operations, significantly enhancing the auditorium's suitability for concerts, smaller plays, lectures and meetings.
