The Salzburg Festival operates internationally. Director Markus Hinterhäuser and Festival President Kristina Hammer recently visited patrons in Paris - including the mother of French President Macron and other well-known names, including from the world of fashion.

French is the world language of fashion, theater, visual arts, dance and much more. It almost goes without saying that Salzburg Festival Director Markus Hinterhäuser is also fluent in the lingua franca. This must have impressed one lady in particular recently: Françoise Noguès - better known as the mother of French President Emmanuel Macron.
