The AUSTRIAN MUSIC THEATER DAY is an international networking event taking place on June 16th, 2021. We cordially invite all those interested in the field of music theater to participate. The framework is determined by the interactions between music theater pieces and the space in which they are performed – be it classical theater spaces of different aesthetics, the exploration of new performance venues or the increased use of public and digital space.
Participation is free of charge, registration by mail to [email protected].
