open air theater in Bregenz

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.

The Seebühne at the Bregenzer Festspiele is a floating opera stage on Lake Constance capable of seating 7,000 people, with production sets built at a scale matched to the open water backdrop and the Bregenzerwald mountains behind. The festival runs July to August each summer; each production occupies two seasons. The 2006 Casino Royale film used the stage as a location. Tickets from approximately EUR 30; book months ahead for popular productions. Direct trains to Bregenz from Innsbruck, Salzburg, and Zurich. Check bregenzerfestspiele.com for current program.
