The 2012 edition of Salon documents a much changed festival programme instigated by the new director Alexander Pereira. The performance features brim with stars including Cecilia Bartoli, Jonas Kaufmann and August Diehl. In addition to the performing arts, Thomas Struth's photographs complete the surveys of Salzburg's art summer and the magazine adds its own sprinkling of magic dust to the proceedings with a fashion feature photographed by Karl Lagerfeld.
The customary behind-the-scenes analysis of the productions presents artists, musicians, writers and photographers with their contributions to the cultural debate the magazine has been fostering for six years.
In an unusual twist the 2012 edition offers a choice of different covers.
