“The Magic Flute”, a dark, gloomy interpretation of Mozart’s world-famous opera from the lost world of vaudeville and the Prater street theatre, is currently being performed at the Burgtheater. As a long-standing main sponsor, Casinos Austria, together with the Burgtheater and in cooperation with the Braille Centre of the Federal Institute for the Blind in Vienna, has now created a new barrier-free offer. As part of the pilot project, a programme booklet for the acclaimed production of “The Magic Flute” is now available for visually impaired and blind people, in Braille and free of charge.
Erwin van Lambaart, Director General of Casinos Austria, commented: “We are delighted to have launched a new barrier-free flagship project in the cultural sector together with the Burgtheater. At Casinos Austria, we see ourselves as a reliable and strong partner to Austrian society. That’s why we’ve been assuming socio-political responsibility for decades, and we put the people at the centre of all this. Equal opportunities and a respectful interaction with each other are being promoted in line with the motto ‘Playsponsible – Practicing Responsibility Together’.”
In addition, a separate live audio description will be offered for the performance of “The Magic Flute” at the Burgtheater on January 15. Visitors who would like to take advantage of this offer can register for this performance directly with the Hilfsgemeinschaft der Blinden und Sehschwachen Österreichs (Austrian Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired), a limited number of tickets in the best categories are available for € 12. There will also be an introduction for the group of visitors at 7:00 pm. Additional information can be found on the Burgtheater website: https://www.burgtheater.at/akustische-verstaerkung.
