Costume sales at the Salzburg Festival: Experience fantasy and classics!
The scent of the big stage wafts through Salzburg! A highly anticipated costume sale will take place in the Salzburg Festival's prestigious Karl Böhm Hall on November 19th and 20th, 2025. Against the backdrop between the House for Mozart and the Felsenreitschule, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of stage clothing and get hold of pieces that were in the spotlight until recently. meinkreis.at reports that the offers include fantasy costumes from the production “From the Star That Couldn’t Shine”, magical props from “The Child and the Magic Things” and original costumes from “The Magic Flute”. The anticipation of Mozart's year (270th birthday) is also strengthened with clothing made from “Così fan tutte”.
A special advance sales opportunity has been set up for schools and theaters on November 18th. This offers the opportunity to view the costumes before they go on general sale and can be registered at kostuem@salzburgfestival.at. The public sales days are on November 19th from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on November 20th from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. - admission is free and registration is not required. If you are looking for unusual bargains, you should mark these dates in your calendar!
A look back at past sales
A look into the past shows that costume sales at the Salzburg Festival had to take a longer break due to the pandemic. The last sale took place in 2018. That's over now: around 5,500 costumes and costume parts are waiting to find new owners. This also pleases Jan Meier, director of costume, make-up and wardrobe, who is enthusiastic about the large selection of vintage clothing, everyday pieces, elegant evening dresses and tailcoats. drehpunktkultur.at highlights that prices at the rummage table start at two euros, while special costumes start at sixty euros. Such prices are hard to beat! However, you should avoid price negotiations - the spectacular pieces are priced as they are.
Another exciting costume event is coming up on February 1, 2026 at the Salzburg State Theater in the Aigen rehearsal center. Another sale is being held here, with around 2,000 items of clothing on offer. Everything is included, from small masks starting at one euro to extravagant costumes, even roller skates and helmets from the musical “Xanadu”! krone.at reports that Sven Jungclaus, head of costumes, emphasizes that this sale is perfect for the carnival season. So if you're looking for imaginative costumes for carnival parades, you shouldn't miss this event.
Whether for performances, for the next carnival party or simply as a collector's item - the upcoming costume sales in Salzburg offer an excellent opportunity to get hold of exclusive pieces. Keep your eyes open and be there!
