Sustainable and reliable sponsors are essential for world-class cultural institutions like the Bregenz Festival to live up to their reputation. As leading Austrian companies, our twelve Austrian casinos and their offerings bring added value to many regions and thus contribute to value creation to an extent that goes far beyond their own turnover. They stand for fascination and excitement and thus for emotions that visitors to the Bregenz Festival also get to experience. Being "best in class" in entertainment and assuming responsibility in Austria have been Casinos Austria's inner drive and deepest conviction since 1968. All with a clear focus on sustainability.
To ensure planning continuity, Casinos Austria has already extended its main sponsorship of the festival until 2024. Casinos Austria Director General Erwin van Lambaart had this to say on the common ground between the partners: "Every year, the Bregenz Festival proves that it's open to new directions. The festival combines these impulses with well-known classics to create a modern, exciting programme. Fascinating experiences of the highest quality – that's what our casinos are all about. We, too, aspire to combine tradition and innovation for the best possible entertainment for our guests."
Casinos Austria also celebrates this sustainable partnership with its bonus programme: from June 6 to July 9, all Glücks Card holders can buy tickets for the Bregenz Festival at a 13% discount. During the promotional period, tickets can be ordered by phone or online at www.bregenzerfestspiele.com or purchased in person at the Bregenz Festival's box office.
One of Casinos Austria's particular aims is to be active in the field of social policy in and for Austria, for example with the "Happy Moments" initiative launched at the beginning of the year together with Austrian Cancer Aid: as part of this cooperation, 30 Bregenz Festival tickets will be given to cancer patients, to allow them to be able to experience joyful moments and a touch of lightness in their stressful situation and to help them gain strength, hope and confidence.
