This year Casinos Austria once again serves as the main sponsor of the diverse festival programme, consisting of operas, musical theatre and comedy performances. Since the company was founded in 1968, Casinos Austria has been a sustainable and reliable partner to numerous institutions and projects related to art and culture in Austria and has already extended its main sponsorship of the festival until 2024.
As leading domestic 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.
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.”
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 were 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.
