The successful theatre project enters its 7th year and is becoming even more international

Since 2002 the international culture brand Montblanc has been supporting in the context of the Salzburg Festival the innovative Young Directors Project, an exciting competition for young theatre directors and their companies.

By participating in the Young Directors Project, young international directors have the opportunity to present themselves for the first time to the leading international press in German-speaking countries. Some of the participants have in the meantime enjoyed an outstanding career.

The entire theatre project is - as always - made possible completely by Montblanc. In addition to its contribution as sponsor, Montblanc also donates every year a part of the revenues from selling the Salzburg Special Edition "Hommage à Max Reinhardt." This has meant that in the past other productions have been possible and that in 2008, for the first time, an American and an Asian theatre company are taking part.

The premiere of the Young Directors Project powered by Montblanc took place on 31 July 2008 with special guest star and Montblanc brand ambassador Eva Green.
