Opening in 1741, the Burgtheater in Vienna is the national theater of Austria. Given the busy performance schedule, the Burgtheater’s audio system was in dire need of an overhaul, having been in use for more than 20 years. The technical staff wanted to modernize the system and future-proof it for the next 20 years, so they decided to implement an audio-over-IP (AoIP) solution based on Audinate’s industry-standard Dante transport protocol and turned to system designer TSAMM for help.
Over the years, its theater company has created a distinctive style and speech unique to Burgtheater performances. The Burgtheater has an incredibly full events calendar, holding performances nightly except for Christmas Eve and Good Friday while rehearsing a different performance each morning. The stage scenery is changed at least twice daily. During the summer break, it’s used for dance performances and musical concerts.
