Linz on Stage

Linz is a setting for theatrical delights galore: the Landestheater and its diverse stages, Theater Phönix, the Chamäleon and a vibrant independent theater scene offer drama, cabaret, revues and much, much more.

Landestheater Linz
Landestheater Linz has been Upper Austria’s foremost theatrical institution for almost 200 years. The stages of the "Großes Haus" and the "Kammerspiele" present an extensive repertoire of dramas, operas, operettas, musicals as well as works of modern dance and ballet. Bold ventures into the creative realm of contemporary playwrights are designed to attract new audiences to allied venues - above all Eisenhand and u\hof. Regular productions of works geared to the tastes of young people are providing for the next generation of enthusiastic theatergoers.

Musiktheater Linz
The music theater presently under construction (scheduled opening: 2011) will provide Linz with a new venue for musicals, operettas, operas, ballets and orchestral concerts.

Theater Phönix
Theater Phönix on Wiener Straße has a reputation for daringly staging contemporary plays, experimental works and updated classics. The ensemble doesn’t just do lip service to its commitment to modern-day drama, and this has earned it a dedicated following among open-minded audiences.

Linzer Kellertheater
In 1949, at the initiative of Ernst Ernsthoff, some unemployed actors and actresses decided to take matters into their own hands: they founded a theater company to put on plays for the entertainment of the workforce at voestalpine, Austria's largest steel works. The upshot has been a theatrical success story in the truest sense of the word. The troupe has presented numerous world premieres and Austrian debut performances. For younger theatergoers, there’s an annual fairytale production.

Chamäleon - First Linzer Varieté Theater
The Chamäleon is Linz’s most variable venue, one that changes its colours on a regular basis to adapt to ever-changing material: musicals, cabaret, chanson evenings and varieté.

Theater Unser
Theater Unser is an independent ensemble with no fixed venue of its own. Its watchwords: acting that emphasizes physicality, theatricality, choreography and authenticity.
