A singular project is staged at the Salzburg Festival with the famous Felsenreitschule as a backdrop: for the first time the renowned Hagen Quartet appears at the festival accompanied by a dance company. The Swiss grand master of dance Heinz Spoerli presents three works he choreographed for his Zurich Ballet set to three of the great works of the quartet literature: Leos Janacek's string quartet "Intimate Letters", Antonin Dvorak's "American Quartet" and Franz Schubert's string quartet "The Death and the Maiden".
