I am constantly inspired by people being creative. This has GOT to be the most extraordinarily beautiful stage designs I’ve ever seen.

The giant book floating stage at Bregenz Festival during the rehearsal of Giuseppe Verdi' s opera ' A Masked Ball' in 1999

Discovered on Storage Geek this image from the Bregenz Festival in Austria on The Telegraph. The Bergenz Festival is a performance art festival held during July and August in Bregenz and they have become very famous for the Seebühne (or floating stage). The image above is from the 1999 production of Verdi’s A Masked Ball.

Here are some other breathtaking stages from The Bergenz Festival.

La Bohéme in 2001/2002.

Fidelio 1995/1996

Dress rehearsal of Aida in 2010.

Hi! My dad lives in Austria :)…I am totally going to plan my next visit around this festival. I can not imagine what they’ll come up with next.

    Oh my gosh, are my eyes deceiving me? These are amazing! I feel like this is something you totally have to see in person. If you get to see it someday you have to share the experience with us!
