Introduction

Opened in spring 2013, the Musiktheater am Volksgarten is the opera and ballet home of Linz's Landestheater, designed by British architect Terry Pawson. Its crisp white volumes stand beside the Volksgarten park, forming a modern gateway with the main station and the listed old post office opposite. The main auditorium seats roughly a thousand with acoustics tuned for both opera and musicals, and the resident Bruckner Orchester anchors a season rotating opera, operetta, musical and ballet. With tiered pricing that puts upper-circle seats in the tens of euros, it's a high-value way to sample an evening in this UNESCO City of Media Arts.
