Description
The Festspielhaus St. Pölten is one of the most striking theater buildings of contemporary architecture in Austria and in its 18 years of existence has developed into a leading venue with one of the largest stages for dance and music in dialogue between tradition and modernity. As a seasonal multi-genre theater, the Festspielhaus St. Pölten presents dance productions ranging from contemporary ballet to international creations, concerts from classical to jazz and world, youth formats and, since 2013, chamber music. The repertoire includes events consisting of guest performances, co-productions and artist residencies.
Since its opening in 1997, the Festspielhaus St. Pölten has been the permanent residence of the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich, whose concert cycle is one of the main pillars of the Festspielhaus program. The classical music program is complemented by international orchestral concerts.
