Musiktheater Linz
A modern opera house opened in 2013, one of the most advanced in Europe, staging opera, musicals and ballet
The Musiktheater Linz was designed by British architect Terry Pawson and opened in 2013. It is the home venue of the state theatre. Its stage machinery and sound systems are among the most advanced of any European opera house. It stages opera, musicals, operetta and ballet year-round, and tickets are generally more affordable than in Vienna. The People's Park in front of the building and the long colonnade on its façade are also worth a look. There is a restaurant inside, and backstage tours are available by advance reservation. The theatre sits between the central station and the old town, and trams run there directly.
