Hot summer evenings in Seville, Spain; two young people from different worlds meet and the story of love, hate and jealousy is perfect. It is not without reason that Carmen by George Bizet is the most performed opera in the world.
Performance under the stars
The quarry St. Margarethen is enchanting at first glance: where sand-lime stone was mined for thousands of years as a valuable building material, today top-class opera events take place. The concert arena subtly blends into the natural landscape. Step by step, the visitor is immersed in a world of art, culture and cuisine. A visit to the opera in the quarry St. Margarethen promises pleasure for all senses.
The white Leitha limestone is the setting for unique musical experiences at the opera in the quarry. The Romans had already recognized the quality and brought it to Carnuntum. Later it was used in many buildings in Vienna: St. Margarethen sand-lime brick is not only used for the renovation of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and Karlskirche, but can also be found as a building material around Vienna’s Ringstrasse. Over the centuries, its dismantling has created the depression that today serves as an opera stage: protected from the wind and surrounded by nature, the stage, auditorium and opera lounge have been carefully integrated into the environment.
