Dresden takes over at Salzburg festival

The Berlin Philharmonic will make its last appearance next year after breaking ties with the event in a dispute over the number of operas it could perform.
Festival director Peter Alward said last month it had not been possible to meet a demand from the orchestra headed by Sir Simon Rattle to stage four performances instead of two.
Its successors will accompany the festival's new production of Wagner's "Parsifal" in 2013 and the Strauss opera "Arabella" the following year.
