!!!Landes- und Stadttheater

Provincial and Municipal Theatres (Landestheater and Stadttheater), 
exist in all Austrian provinces except Vienna and Burgenland, the 
latter having a special status with its cultural centres. 
Landestheater and Stadttheater are theatres with a large repertoire 
(opera, operetta, musical, plays from classic to modern and 
experimental theatre). The companies usually perform not only in the 
capitals but also in other towns and smaller places of the respective 
province.
