The struggling Salzburg Festival saw its cultural and commercial highlight of the year Saturday with the eagerly awaited new production of Verdi's opera Il Trovatore Cheap Mexico Soccer Shirts , 2014's hot ticket.
Featuring the world-famous Placido Domingo, now more a baritone than tenor at 73, and Russian soprano sensation Anna Netrebko, demand for the premiere outstripped supply five times over.
Directed by Alvis Hermanis, conducted by Daniele Gatti and also starring Canadian contralto Marie-Nicole Lemieux Cheap Mexico Soccer Jerseys , five further showings over the next two weeks are also sold out.
Other expected hits among the performances at the festival, this year with a war theme for the 1914 centenary, include Chinese pianist Lang Lang and conductor Sir Simon Rattle.
But not all the tickets - some costing hundreds of euros - for the month-long extravaganza of opera, classical music and drama in Mozart's native city sell like hot cakes.
The annual shindig, in its 94th edition Yasser Corona Mexico Jersey , is facing budget strains with too few spectators in recent years to cover the sometimes exorbitant costs of singers, sets, musicians and costumes.
This is despite last year's edition shifting 287,000 tickets and attracting record levels of corporate sponsorship.
Festival director Helga Rabl-Stadler has promised belt-tightening with fewer brand new productions and more recycled old ones in the future. She also wants to attract more public funding.
"I cannot stay silent any longer... We need substantially more funding," she said in April. "What is at stake here is the very existence of the Salzburg Festival."
Il Trovatore was last seen in Salzburg in 1963 under legendary Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan Vicente Matias Vuoso Mexico Jersey , giving the class of 2014 big shoes to fill for what is anyway a challenging opera to stage.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's Palmeiras opened their 2016 Copa Libertadores campaign with a 2-2 draw away with River Plate of Uruguay at the Domingo Burgueno Miguel stadium in Maldonado on Tuesday night.
The Brazilian club twice took the lead, through Jean and exciting young prospect Gabriel Jesus, only to be pegged back by their hosts, and were forced to settle for a point after 90 minutes.
Palmeiras opened the scoring towards the end of the first half Rodolfo Pizarro Mexico Jersey , when Dudu supplied Jean to apply the finishing touch.
But River got back on level terms soon after the interval, when Palmeiras goalkeeper Fernando Prass brought down Schiappacasse inside the penalty area and the referee pointed to the spot. Michael Santos converted the resulting dead ball.
However, Palmeiras managed to retake the lead when veteran forward Alecsandro combined with Jesus for the latter to find the back of the net.
And just when it looked as if the Brazilians would walk away with the points, Montelongo arrived unmarked in the area to snatch a share of the spoils for the Uruguayans.
Palmeiras are back in Libertadores action on March 2, when they host Argentine side Rosario Central.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- People with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are living longer and healthier than at any time since the outset of the AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) epidemic in 1981. On World AIDS Day, which falls on December 1 Rafael Marquez Mexico Jersey , the United Nations is sending out a cheering message -- the goal of wiping out the epidemic by 2030 appears within reach.
BIG STRIDES
Almost 21 million of the 36.7 million people worldwide living with HIV had access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 2017 -- a huge jump from the 685,000 people undergoing treatment in 2000.
Deaths related to AIDS fell to 1 million in 2016 from 1.9 million in 2005, according to UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Program on HIVAIDS. If not treated, HIV can lead to AIDS.
This progress puts the world on track to reach the global target of 30 million people on treatment by 2020 Paul Aguilar Mexico Jersey , Michel Sidibe, Executive Director of UNAIDS said in his message on the Day.
UNAIDS data show substantial progress has been made toward reaching the "90-90-90" target designed to help wipe out AIDS by 2030. The goal calls for 90 percent of people living with HIV to know their HIV status by 2020; 90 percent of those diagnosed to receive sustained ART; and 90 percent of individuals on ART to achieve viral suppression.
"More than two-thirds of all people living with HIV globally knew their HIV status in 2016," Sidibe noted. "Among those who knew their HIV status, 77 percent were accessing antiretroviral therapy and 82 percent of people on treatment had suppressed viral loads."
The availability of affordable, generic antiretroviral medicines has made HIV treatment accessible Orbelin Pineda Mexico Jersey , he said.
The 1.8 million people who were newly infected in 2016 represent a 39 percent drop from the 3 million who became infected at the peak of the epidemic in the late 1990s, according to UNAIDS.
AIDS is no longer the high-profile public health menace it once was thanks to the discovery in 2011 that antiretroviral treatment can not only suppress HIV in the bloodstream and reduce the risk of spreading the virus, but also, some experts predict, eventually end the epidemic.
FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT
"The right to health is a fundamental human right Nestor Araujo Mexico Jersey , everybody has the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, as enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights," Sidibe noted.
The world will not achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
