| Description |
|
The "europeforvisitors.com" website explains
that Festspielhaus is a large theatre
complex, "... built of
concrete, steel, and glass, and it sits
in a neo-Baroque park that was dredged
from the lake. The auditorium has 1,389
seats, the second-largest
revolving stage in Germany."
 The Festspielhaus says that, "... the building is wide with its two side wings and the pavilions at the ends; Not even the imperial-royal Burgtheater in Vienna can compete there. ... the Festival Hall of Füssen is aligned in its entire width axially to the distant backdrop of Neuschwanstein Castle, indeed it opens with its wings in a grand gesture towards the royal castle. If one realizes with what minimal construction and decorating means the multi-part, multifunctional building has been reached and endowed, one can only speak of a triumph of economics."  |
