Dismantled again! Future of the Wolfgangsee stage unsafe

The Salzkammergut Seebühne on the Wolfgangsee inaugurated in May 2024, which was launched on the occasion of the “Wolfgang Year”, must be dismantled. This decision follows the termination of the limited nature conservation approval, which was over the season. The location of the stage was Ried on Lake Wolfgang, and it was completely covered to build the 1,100. Birthday of Saint Wolfgang. The piece "Wolf, a Mystical" by Franzobel was premiered there and reflects the history of the saint, whose life and effect was at the center of the performances.

The entire project had a budget of 2.65 million euros, which was exceeded by 650,000 euros. The initiative for the seaside stage came from the "Wolfgang 2024" association and various communities such as St. Gilgen, Strobl and St. Wolfgang. The architect of the stage, Eduard Neversal, described the building as a flexible "Art Machine" that can be rebuilt in different locations in the Salzkammergut.

dismantling and future use of the stage elements

Since no solution was found for long -term approval ability, the breakdown of the stage is essential. This mobile construction enables the stage elements to be stored on site in warehouses in the future. In the hope of further artistic use, the project management is currently examining various locations for future events at the Wolfgangsee.

The seaside stage with a capacity of 800 spectators offered a special event framework from May to October 2024 and was an important cultural attraction in the region. The opening of the stage also went hand in hand with the introduction of special Wolf Packages by local accommodation companies that offer a combination of culture and hospitality.

cultural heritage and identity

The initiators of the stage emphasized that this was a long -cherished dream of the region that represents an asset to the local population and guests. The aim is to create a cultural heritage that creates the identity of the Wolfgangsee region and keeps historical development alive. In the future, the stage will also be used for further cultural events if a permanent approval can be obtained.

The seaside stage is not only an architectural highlight, but also a symbol of the connection of the region with its history. Event announcements and ticket prices are already being planned, the first performance of "Wolf - Das Mystical" took place on May 23, 2024. The arrival options via Wolfgangseeschiffreis and the accessibility in less than 20 minutes also underline the central role of the lake stage in the cultural life of the region.
