Bregenz Lake Stage
Seebühne Bregenz
The world's largest stage on a lake. Each summer, the Bregenz Festival stages giant-set operas here for nearly 7,000 spectators.
The Bregenz Lake Stage is built over the waters of Lake Constance. Every July and August, the Bregenz Festival stages opera outdoors here. The gigantic sets are replaced every two years, with productions such as Carmen and Der Freischütz. The lake and lighting effects at night are spectacular. Tickets must be bought several months in advance. Outside the performance season, you can view the stage sets for free from the lakeshore promenade, and some dates offer backstage tours. It is located on the west side of Bregenz harbor, in Austria.
