Festspielhaus Erl
A black contemporary concert hall in a small village beside the Inn River, standing alongside a white Passion Play theater; it is the main venue of the Tyrolean Festival Erl.
Erl is a village on the German–Austrian border, about 12 km north of Kufstein. Villagers have staged the Passion of Jesus every six years since 1613, and the white Passion Play theater is the landmark. In 2012 a black concert hall with angular lines was completed beside it. It has outstanding acoustics, and each summer (July) and winter (from Christmas to New Year) it hosts the Tyrolean Festival Erl, known for its operas and Wagner works. The exterior can be viewed at any time, but performances require advance tickets. It is about 15 minutes' drive from Kufstein.
