Our mission

All actions within the Bundestheater Group are aimed at implementing the cultural policy mandate as defined in the BThOG in the best possible way and thus contributing to “securing the leading role of the Austrian Federal Theatres in Austrian cultural life and strengthening their importance in the international cultural scene as well as maintaining the highest possible artistic quality of the spoken and music theaters, ballet and dance theaters”.

The most important legal basis for the actions of the Group companies is the Federal Theatres Organization Act.

The federal government provides an annual basic payment for the fulfillment of the cultural policy mandate of the stage companies enshrined in the law and for the performance of the tasks of Bundestheater-Holding GmbH.
