Programm 2026
Cultural Enjoyment Within Historic Walls
Festival Season Opening 2026 with KunstBURG
For the festive opening of the season on April 26, 2026, Artistic Director Clemens Unterreiner and entrepreneur and art collector Werner Trenker invited guests to the historic ceremonial hall of the former Babenberg residence.
As part of a musical vernissage, this year’s KunstBURG exhibition was presented — an inspiring opening event that strikingly intertwines the castle, opera, and visual arts.
Program Presentation 2026
Artistic Director Clemens Unterreiner presented the cast of this year’s opera production “Madama Butterfly” at the Italian Embassy, along with the diverse accompanying program of the KulturBURG, including the KunstBURG.
2026 will also feature numerous artistic and cultural highlights.
“La Traviata” at the Opera BURG GARS 2025
We are already very much looking forward to the opera production “Madama Butterfly” in the summer of 2026! But there’s still a little time to go.
In the meantime, you can now enjoy this year’s “La Traviata” in full on YouTube and get in the mood for the upcoming production!
ROLE MODEL ACCESSIBILITY 2025
On October 13, 2025 our long-term project “Oper für Blinde und sehbehinderte Menschen” (“Opera for Blind and Visually Impaired People”) was honored by BhW Lower Austria. We are proud to have received the “Role Model Accessibility 2025” award in the category Culture & Tourism!
We would like to thank all our supporters, partners and sponsors — especially MAG Menschen und Arbeit GmbH and Anke Nicolai — for helping us realize this heartfelt project by our Artistic Director KS Clemens Unterreiner.
