Salzburg Festival
Salzburg Festival
Hinterhäuser became artistic director of the Salzburg Festival on 1 October 2016, and in April 2024 the festival announced that he had been granted a third five-year term, which would have run through 2031. In March 2026, after his relationship with the festival's management had become strained, the festival's supervisory board announced that Hinterhäuser and the festival were parting ways with immediate effect, citing "irreconcilable differences of opinion;" he was placed on leave until the expiry of his contract on 30 September 2026. Karin Bergmann was appointed interim artistic director of the festival in April 2026.
