Salzburg (dpa) - The Salzburg Festival wants to defy the Corona crisis again.
"We are confident that we will be able to offer successful festivals again with our tried and tested prevention concept plus the safety measures that have been added since last year, such as testing, vaccinations and FFP2 masks," said Festival President Helga Rabl-Stadler on Wednesday.
The worldwide important music and theater festival is planned from July 17th to August 31st.
In the summer of 2020, the festival was staged with a streamlined program and thanks to comprehensive security measures in front of an audience.
The decision as to whether the Whitsun Festival can take place under the prevailing conditions should be made by April 30th at the latest.

At the same time, the Salzburg Festival reappointed Lukas Crepaz as commercial director on Wednesday.
The contract of the cultural manager from Tyrol will be extended for another five years until the end of March 2027.
As the festival announced after today's meeting of the board of trustees, Crepaz has presented the most convincing concept for the future of all applicants.
His appointment was unanimous.
Crepaz has been in office since April 2017.
The post was advertised early because of the upcoming general renovation of the festival halls.
