Theater on the Kornmarkt
The main venue is the Bregenz Kornhaus, built from 1838 to 1840 on the Kornmarkt according to the plans of the architect Josef Hirn. The building is located on the 2010-2013 newly designed Kornmarktplatz. The main gable facade is soberly designed and has an open arcade porch on sandstone pillars and side blind arcades. From 1951 to 1955, the Kornhaus was converted into a regular theater - today's Vorarlberg State Theater - according to plans by Willibald Braun and Wilhelm Braun. The interior decoration and the design of the foyer was done by the painter Hubert Berchtold in 1956 with a mosaic and the painter Fritz Krcal in 1957 with a painting. Under the direction of the architect Helmut Kuess, renovation and renovation work took place from 1993 to 1995. Since then, the KLEINE HAUS has also been available as a second venue. The building is a listed building .
Current
The theater building on Kornmarkt was under the direction of the Bregenz Cultural Office until 2013. Since then, the city of Bregenz has rented the building to the State Theater all year round. With 9 to 10 premieres in the GROSSEN HAUS, the theater offers a varied program throughout the year, which includes a Christmas play for families and an opera production in cooperation with the Vorarlberg Symphony Orchestra .
