The Oper im Steinbruch St. Margarethen is one of Europe's most spectacular opera venues. In a vast Roman quarry in St. Margarethen in Burgenland, a monumental open-air stage is created each summer, on which the great works of the operatic repertoire are performed against the impressive rock backdrop. The combination of natural rock landscape, elaborate stage technology and a large body of performers creates a unique total work of operatic art under the open sky. Year after year the festival draws thousands of visitors into the Pannonian landscape near Lake Neusiedl, making Burgenland a surprising centre of summer open-air opera.
