Theater am Kornmarkt

The Vorarlberger Landestheater is a theater with a permanent acting ensemble and numerous guests in Bregenz. From September to June it offers a fixed schedule for the city of Bregenz and the state of Vorarlberg.

The Theater for Vorarlberg was founded in 1945. The parent company is the Theater am Kornmarkt in Bregenz. In addition, the theater plays at several guest performance locations in the state of Vorarlberg. The program is characterized by contemporary and classic plays, plus performances for young people and children. One opera production is shown per season.

The main venue is the Bregenzer Kornhaus, built on the Kornmarkt between 1838 and 1840 according to the plans of the architect Josef Hirn. The building is located on the Kornmarktplatz, which was redesigned in 2010-2013. The main gable facade is sober and has an open arcaded porch on sandstone pillars and side blind arcades. From 1951 to 1955, the Kornhaus was converted into a regular theater - today's Vorarlberger Landestheater - according to plans by Willibald Braun and Wilhelm Braun. The interior and the design of the foyer were taken over by the painter Hubert Berchtold in 1956 with a mosaic and the painter Fritz Krcal1957 with a painting. Conversion and renovation work took place between 1993 and 1995 under the direction of the architect Helmut Kuess. Since then, the SMALL HAUS has also been available as a second venue. The building is under monument protection ( list entry ).

The theater building on the Kornmarkt was managed by the Bregenz Cultural Office until 2013. Since then, the building has been rented out to the Landestheater by the city of Bregenz 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.
