For many decades, the festival has been captivating audiences around the world with its first-class productions and impressive stage sets. From 17 July 2024 to 28 August 2024, the 78th Bregenz Festival will offer a top-class and diverse cultural programme and, for the first time in the Festival's history, Carl Maria von Weber's opera ‘Der Freischütz’ will be performed on the lake stage.
As a reliable main sponsor since 1980, Casinos Austria is once again supporting the Festival's diverse programme of opera, 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 in the arts and culture in Austria - always with the aim of being ‘best in class’ in entertainment and assuming responsibility in Austria. All this with a clear focus on sustainability.
Casinos Austria CEO Erwin van Lambaart commented: ‘The Bregenz Festival is one of the flagships of the Austrian cultural landscape and Casinos Austria is proud to have been able to support the realisation of such great productions as Der Freischütz for such a long time. We also aspire to combine tradition and innovation to provide our guests with the best possible entertainment."
Casinos Austria is particularly keen to play an active role in social policy in and for Austria. One example of this is the ‘Happy Moments’ initiative launched last year together with the Austrian Cancer Aid organisation. As part of this cooperation, 30 tickets for the Bregenz Festival were once again donated to the Austrian Cancer Aid organisation to be given to cancer patients already undergoing treatment. The aim is to enable those affected to experience joyful moments and a little lightness in their difficult situation and thus gain strength from a stressful phase in their lives.
Casinos Austria is also offering all participants in the Casinos Austria bonus programme a 13% discount on this year's production of ‘Der Freischütz’.
