Opera line-ups at the Salzburg Festival 1992 to 1995

The opera line-ups for the Salzburg Festival in 1992 and 1995 include all new productions of the Salzburg Festival from 1992 to 1995, in which the festival was shaped by the new director Gerard Mortier . Mortier put an end to the last phase of Herbert von Karajan's and Karl Böhm's at the festival, renewed the festival's content and personnel, invited the exponents of the so-called directorial theater to opera productions in Salzburg and opened up new, younger audiences.
