The culture experience at Lake Constance
Each summer, in the middle of an enchanting landscape in the westernmost Austrian federal state of Vorarlberg, the Bregenz Festival presents high-calibre opera al fresco with the theatre on the lake. In addition, the festival attracts approximately 200,000 visitors to the border triangle between the Alps and Lake Constance with unforgettable debut opera performances and concertante treasures in the Festival House, unheard material as part of “Kunst aus der Zeit” at the studio theatre, as well as touching gems of operatic literature at the Theater am Kornmarkt in the months of July and August, with more than 80 performances in total.

KUB architecture
The Art House stands in the light of Lake Constance. Its structure is built from glass plates, steel and a stone mass of cast concrete that forms structure and space in the interior of the building. Viewed from outside, the building gives the impression of an illuminant.

In Bregenz, locals and visitors alike enjoy the interplay of contrasts:
On one side Lake Constance, on the other side the mountains; the relaxed rhythm of a small city with 28,000 inhabitants here, the lively range of cultural opportunities of international rank there. This mix, this special flair, characterises Vorarlberg’s state capital. It offers its guests the best views – not just at the lake stage – and a setting that leaves one wanting more: cycling, hiking, bathing, a boat trip, a shopping stroll, concerts, museums, galleries, etc. – simply put, the plus by the lake.
