Originally 19 performances were planned, but due to the high demand, 30 sold -out performances were carried out, which attracted 180,890 visitors. This proves once again how important such cultural events are for the region and what potential is in the support of art.

For the summer of 2024, a third additional presentation of "Saturday Night Fever" has already been planned on the lake stage, which is further advancing the strengthening of the cultural offer in Burgenland. This type of events not only attracts locals, but also attracts numerous tourists who visit the region.

This job value of art and culture with the funding measures shows how significant cultural activities are for society. The state of Burgenland has set itself a clear goal: to sustainably strengthen the promotion of art and culture and to create a variety of options for the population. This development is not only an enrichment for the region, but also a cultural statement that is perceived far beyond the borders of Burgenland.
