Seebühne Bregenz

The world's largest floating stage in Bregenz, Austria, the venue for the Bregenz Festival, which takes place annually in July and August, is also a worthwhile destination outside the festival season. Fun fact: in 2008 filming for the James Bond film “A Quantum of Solace” took place here.

The floating stage as a unique backdrop.

Especially because of the elaborate stage sets on the island in the lake, the productions here are always an experience.Partly accessible outside of the season, which is what Hinrich is when you're on a photo tour.

The auditorium is almost always open and offers a magnificent view, as you climb up to the upper seats.

The Bregenz lake stage is a unique experience that will always be remembered

The stage is rebuilt every year. Next up is Madame Butterfly

A very nice setting in the evening

The new stage design for Madame Butterly is not yet ready.

Hats off to whoever had the idea to build this impressive stage.

Clear, blue water... I like that the waves in the lake are not the same every day...

An absolute must for every visitor and a technical masterpiece to bring a stage set to life.

You have to love the Bregenz Festival - or not.Important:
Even if it rains continuously, the performance runs on the lake stage from the start (only if there is a storm warning in the Festspielhaus) and the grandstand and stage are not covered.By the way:
Anyone wondering where the orchestra is located will find it in the orchestra pit in the Festspielhaus. From there, the conducting of the conductor and the sound of the orchestra are transmitted to the floating stage.Everything worth knowing at:

Very impressive construction right in the lake. We have been there a few times and have looked at the more wonderful spectacles.This year (2022) "Madame Butterfly" will run from July.See also:

Elisabeth Sobotka has been the director of the Bregenz Festival since January 2015, Michael Diem is the commercial director, Susanne Schmidt is the opera director and Olaf A. Schmitt is the dramaturge.In 2004, for example, the program of the Bregenz Festival included around 80 events, which were attended by over 215,000 spectators. The resident orchestra of the festival is the Wiener Symphoniker.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bregenzer_Festspiele

The annual Bregenz Festival takes place here.

The Bregenz Festival achieves what all other festivals and theaters promise: they also inspire people for the opera who are otherwise not outspoken fans of classical music. The spectacular lake stage on Lake Constance offers an atmospheric natural backdrop for the 6,659 visitors to the open-air stage. Last year all performances were sold out - despite Corona!
