3 Best Performing Arts Venues in Bregenz, Innsbruck, Tirol, and Vorarlberg

Bregenz is pleasant at any time of year, but a great time to visit is during the Bregenzer Festspiele (Bregenz Music Festival) in July and August. Acclaimed artists from around the world perform operas, operettas, and musical comedies on the festival's floating stage, part of the Festspiel und Kongresshaus complex. In front of the stage, the orchestra pit is built on a jetty, while the audience of 6,800 is safely accommodated on the 30-tier amphitheater on dry land—a unique and memorable setting for a concert. Reserve your tickets and hotels in advance, as performances and rooms sell out early.

The Bregenz Spring dance festival takes place between March and May each year in the city's iconic Festspielhaus. A springtime staple since 1987, the popular festival showcases high-quality ballet and modern dance performances from renowned ensembles all over the world.

Constructed in 1838 as a grain storehouse, this building was converted into a 700-seat theater in 1954. Today, it is part of the Vorarlberg Landestheater, showing a roster of contemporary and classic plays, along with family-friendly productions and concerts.
