1993/94

The public interest in Nabucco on the Seebühne exceeded all expectations. Although additional stands were erected and extra performances were scheduled, the demand could not be fully satisfied. More than 300,000 people enjoyed Verdi's Nabucco on the Seebühne during these two summers. After lengthy discussions, public subsidy bodies approved the construction of a rehearsal stage. Located right next to the Festspielhaus, its aim was to make production conditions considerably easier and, thus, less expensive.
