Schauspielhaus Graz
The historic Schauspielhaus Graz (built in 1825) is one of Austria's largest theatres, whose repertoire includes numerous music and dance events, readings and discussions in addition to the theater program, which features many premieres and first performances each season.
This classic theatre stages proprietary productions from September to June.
We would like the Schauspielhaus Graz to be a place of communication and experiences for as many people as possible. This requires the use of more than one language. With the beginning of the 2023/24 season, we are setting out to offer selected productions in English. Step by step, we would like to expand this offer by adding other languages. And that is only the beginning. In the course of the next months we will offer more English content here.
