St. Pölten: Cultural Revolution with New Area again 2025!

St. Pölten, Österreich - The theater landscape of St. Pölens is currently experiencing a striking change, which is primarily shaped by the designata of the theater. After 20 years under the directorate of Martin Föttinger, there is a "repositioning and sorting", which takes place in close coordination with the owner side. The need to reduce costs is a central concern, which already led to the suspension of double ideas on weekends. Some actors are currently underemployed, which presents those responsible for the challenge to create a balanced gag policy and change in the ensemble.

actresses who love the audience can breathe a sigh of relief: "All crowd favorites" will remain busy, including names such as Ulli Maier, Joseph Lorenz and Michael Dangl. Guest contracts with established sizes such as Andrea Jonasson and Erwin Steinhauer are also to be extended. The ensemble is reduced, but new additions are also planned. "The dance lesson" with André Pohl and Katharina Klar is one of the projects that are initiated, while the dramaturgical highlight "Schicklgruber", directed by Marie Rötzer, also arouses great expectations.

Cultural transformation in the heart of St. Pölens

st. Pölten is increasingly positioned as a cultural and tourism center. The city and the country work together to develop new offers in the field of culture and culinary delays. In the course of this, the historic cathedral square is transformed into a central location for cultural events. The opening festival on the cathedral square from September 8th to 10th, 2023 aims to celebrate the new impulses, the governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner sees as a long-term part of the profiling of St. Pölens as an art and cultural city. The planned “cultural year 2024” will catapult the city to the national stage.

The "Tangente St. Pölten" is said to herald a new era as a festival for contemporary culture. This is not just about art in the conventional sense, but also about the establishment of a free art scene and the professionalization of the ballet training of the European ballet. St. Pölten opens with a structural redesign of the cathedral square and the relocation of parking spaces to an underground car park under the bishop's garden to create more space for cultural activities.

A diverse range of cultural participation

This cultural innovation runs through all parts of the city. Events such as "Grätzelfeste" promote local cultural participation and diversity. The "cultural axis" combines central cultural locations such as the Museum Lower Austria and the city library with the cathedral square. With a new culinary and tourist concept, St. Pölten and its surroundings are to be made more attractive as a destination, including packages for pleasure trips and cycling tours.
