MODERN AND ANCIENT CULTURE
MODERN AND ANCIENT CULTURE
Special guided tours for school groups, featuring games,
quizzes and other enjoyable learning activities,
are a great favorite of students as well as teachers.
Modern and ancient culture go hand in hand at the Altaussee salt mine.
A pilgrimage to the subterranean chapel dedicated to Saint Barbara is an age-old custom and
the unique stage in the middle of the mine's underground salt lake
is a frequent venue for theatrical performances, dramatic readings and other events.
The extraordinary atmosphere of this subterranean theater inspires artists and audience alike.
The hit play
written especially for the Theater in the Aussee Mountain by Austrian dramatist Felix Mitterer
and staged by international star Klaus Maria Brandauer,
has been performed annually since 1992.
The artistic adaptation of this natural setting -
including its requisite elements of darkness, cold and silence -
in perfect unison with the performance of the actors on stage
and the fascinating musical accompaniment makes attending this play
an unforgettable theatrical experience.
