From July to August, the floating stage on Lake Constance hosts spectacular opera performances that attract 7,000 spectators each night with their combination of music, singing, state-of-the- art stage technology and effective lighting against a spectacular natural backdrop. For Giacomo Puccini’s “Turandot”, which takes place in China, stage designer Marco Arturo Marelli built a “Chinese Wall” on the lake utilizing complex stage machinery controlled by Beckhoff technology. | PC Control 04 | 2016 worldwide | austria © Bregenzer Festspiele/Karl Forster © Bregenzer Festspiele/Karl The centerpiece of the floating stage is the round area at its center with an extendable rotating stage and two additional performance areas below it.

  • Architecture and Space Our Congress Centre in Pictures and Figures Culture Meets Congress and Finds Him Devastatingly Good Looking
    Architecture and Space Our congress centre in pictures and figures Culture meets Congress and finds him devastatingly good looking Mrs Culture and Mr Congress appear from opposite sides of the plaza in front of Bregenz Festival House. She is very elegantly dressed, he has more of a sporty look. Both of them are presumably on their way to an event taking place in the centre. As they approach one another it is clear how glad they are to meet again. Culture: Hello! Well now, you look damn good. Congress: You’re not the first person to say so. Culture (a little taken aback): And you’re pretty self-confident with it. Congress: Did I just adopt the wrong tone? Culture : The right tone is more my domain. Congress: In the figurative sense, yes. But technically speaking it’s mine. Sound, lighting, stage set are my responsibilities, and I feel equal to them all. Culture : There seem to be developments in your life which I have never gone through. Congress: That’s right. I’m doing a lot of sport at the moment. Culture: Please don’t do too much. I’m not too keen on muscle-bound types. Congress: Don’t worry, I’m mainly building up my stamina. The body is my house, it’s got to be solid. Culture : The body is the house in which your soul and mind dwell. Congress: Yeah, them too. But without a strong body... Culture : The body matters a lot to me, too, but not in the sense of what’s external.

  • Polish Composer's Masterpiece Premiered After 31 Years
    Polish Composer’s Masterpiece Premiered after 31 Years Anna S. Debowska - July 23, 2013 ''The Merchant of Venice'' at the festival in Bregenz (Photo Bregenzer Festspiele / Karl Forster) The real bombshell of the Bregenzer Festspiele in Austria was “The Merchant of Venice.” This was the first time the opera by Andrzej Czajkowski – an eccentric piano genius and survivor of the Warsaw ghetto – has been staged. The outstanding work will have its Polish premiere next year. The classical music festival in Bregenz on Lake Constance is organized with two aims. The festival presents spectacular productions of famous operas on its stage on the water. These are attended by tens of thousands of listeners from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and England. It also, ambitiously, highlights works by forgotten composers. This two-pronged approach is the brainchild of the English director David Pountney, who has been the artistic director of the Bregenzer Festspiele for nine years. He decided to revive the tradition of the festival, the first edition of which took place in 1946, on the stage built on the lake. He already has staged “Il Travatore,” “Aida,” “Andrea Chenier,” and this year, “The Magic Flute.” He provides light, witty, and cleverly high-tech productions that are open to innovative and quirky ideas. The performances on the water always start in the evening as darkness slowly settles on the lake. Festival organizers use a sound system, but the productions are performed by very talented singers who are able to project in the unusual setting. Every evening, close to seven thousand spectators gather at the floating amphitheater under the night sky.
