Bregenz Festival

The Bregenz Festival is one of the most visually spectacular opera festivals in the world, famous for its Seebühne — a floating stage on the shores of Lake Constance that hosts open-air opera productions of breathtaking scenic ambition. Founded in 1946, the festival draws nearly 200,000 visitors each summer to the Austrian lakeside town, where productions on the lake stage and in the Festspielhaus combine to create an operatic experience unlike any other.
