МАРИЯ ЧЕБОТАРИ — УЧАСТНИЦА ЗАЛЬЦБУРГСКИХ ФЕСТИВАЛЕЙ
MARIA CEBOTARI AT THE SALZBURG FESTIVALS

Summary/Abstract: The annual summer Salzburg festival is one of the most prestigious and important events in the musical world. Since 1920 the festival has been held in the homeland of W.A. Mozart and serves as an indicator of the socio-political life of Europe. The presence of M. Cebotari at this festival as opera and chamber singer had a very special role in her career (which could be subdivided into two periods: pre-war (1931–1932 and 1938–1939) and post-war (1945–1948)) being marked by bright artistic performances that were highly appreciated both by the public and critics. The article presents materials from newspaper reviews that reflect M. Cebotari's interpretation of the parts from the performances played at the festival. These materials, previously unknown to the Moldovan reader, have been translated from the German language by the author. Also, rare photographs from a German archive are included to demonstrate that in the summer of 1943 M. Cebotari met R. Strauss in Salzburg.
