Seebühne
The Seebühne is a floating opera stage on Lake Constance in Bregenz, part of the Bregenzer Festspiele (Bregenz Festival) that has been running since 1946. Each production takes two summers to perform on a single set design, and the sets are built at a scale that exploits the open water backdrop in a way no indoor theater can match.
