Salzburg Queer Update

30.04.2023 Today Gigi’s Rosa Stadl dances into May. It starts at 7 pm in the Urbankeller. The interesting location promises good vibrations – in traditional costume. On Monday evening you will find the pictures here. The ESC is on 13 May. And where better than at the Magic Garage? In the Narrencastl there will be a performance, pub quiz or whatever. “This year, too, there will be dancing in July. City policy paves the way for Fifty Twenty – and calls for more diversity and more Salzburg artists,” says the Salzburger Nachrichten on 27 April about the city council’s decision to promote this event for young people. For one month this year, this “low-threshold” cultural offer will be made to young people for the second time. For one month, electronic music events, workshops, exhibitions and much more will give Salzburg a more youthful image, despite all the complaints from the neighbours. gaysalzburg.at will accompany. So, let’s go!

02.04.2023 Yesterday Tannhäuser had its premiere at the Easter Festival. “Herbert von Karajan’s claim to his festival is only partially fulfilled in this year’s opera production of “Tannhäuser”” says Florian Oberhummer in the review of the Salzburger Nachrichten. On 5. and 9.04., you can relate to this. On Thursday and Friday (6/7.04.), “Träume” will have its premiere. Choreographer Emmanuel Gat has taken the “Wesendonck Lieder” by Richard Wagner as inspiration for the belletta “Träume”. Also on Thursday (6.04.) we can be curious about Westbam’s realisation of Wagner.

Parallel to the Easter Festival (1-10.04.), you can be impressed by the wide spectrum of Austrian and international galleries at Art&Antique in the Residenz. The contrast between this artistic diversity and the ambience of the Domquartier could not be greater. Good feel-good factor!

Next Thursday (6.04.) the first Pride Session of HOSI Salzburg will take place with a renowned Salzburg cultural institution – with the performance of AYMZ. With the Pride Sessions, HOSI Salzburg and Rockhouse Salzburg set an example for queer artists: Together they want to make diversity in the music scene visible.

On Friday (7.04.), women of all sexual sensitivities will meet for a bar evening at the HOSI Salzburg. And on Friday 14.04., Lilly Frost will read from her book “Anders schön” (Beautiful differently), which is about why it is not so bad to be different. On Sunday (16.04.) you can literally rock your balls – or let it do – at the Underwear Party in the Dark Eagle. There’s a lot going on here in Salzburg. And it’s going to continue, see the Upcoming Events calendar.

07.03.2023 From Wednesday to Sunday (1.-5.03.) media representatives of the European queer media landscape visited Salzburg. The journalists from Madrid (shangay.com, twobadtourists.com), London (attitude.co.uk), Manchester (theglobetrotterguys.com) and Zürich (display-magazin.ch) experienced Salzburg’s cultural and queer scene. Among other things, there was a meet&greet on Thursday evening at the HOSI Salzburg for the foreign media representatives, the HOSI Salzburg and representatives of the Mozarteum Foundation, Hellbrunn Palace, Salzburg Landestheater, Salzburg Festival and Museum der Moderne – to get to know each other and network. And on Friday evening, everyone was treated to a great performance by the Magic Garage crew at the Narrencastl. All in all: Salzburg presented itself from its best side.

And what happens next? Next Saturday (11.03.) the first HOSI-Fest of the year will take place. Again with a second dance floor in the basement of the ARGEkultur and a drag show by Gigi LaPajette, Grazia Patricia, Miss LaThoya, Sassica Rabbit and Sindy Sinful. Well known in Salzburg since their furious show at the last Salzburg Pride.
