"It should be noted that the students of the conservatory outshone the professional singers listed as guests in their main roles". This was reported in the Salzburger Volksblatt about the first Figaro performance of the Mozarteum, which was shown in June 1918 under the musical direction of Bernhard Paumgartner in the "Salzburger Stadttheater".

"The Mozarteum in distress", "Help us - a cry of distress from the Mozarteum" - headlines like these characterized Salzburg's press coverage in the spring of 1921. After four years of war, during which it had been possible to maintain the teaching activities of the young conservatory, the Mozarteum was on the brink of extinction.

Every year around 9 June, the Art ARCHIVE Room presents archive treasures from its holdings and collections on varying themes. Visitors can admire the original documents, manuscripts, photos and other materials. Depending on the theme, there will also be lectures and musical contributions. 9 June is International Archives Day, which numerous institutions use to display their valuable archival materials. In Salzburg, the International Archives Day is celebrated in cooperation with several Salzburg archives under the lead of the Knowledge City Salzburg.
