THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA – relaxed performance

INCLUSIVE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE

On 15 March 2026, a ‘relaxed performance’ of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA took place for the second time at the Raimund Theater. This was once again realised in cooperation with Österreichische Autistenhilfe. A ‘relaxed performance’ is a performance adapted for people with disabilities, people with learning difficulties and neurodivergent people (including autism, ADHD), but which can be attended by everyone. During the performance, sensory stimuli such as loud noises and strong lighting effects are reduced or adapted. In addition, the auditorium remains lightly lit throughout the performance and it is possible to leave and return at any time. Earlier house and auditorium admission and a longer intermission are also intended to reduce the hectic and stressful nature of theatre visits. Simple orientation aids and information in simple language support the preparation for the musical experience.

Duration: approx. 2 hours 50 minutes
(including a 30-minute intermission)
German with German surtitles
The surtitles are clearly visible from the first 5 rows of the centre blocks in the tiers and in the stalls from row 5.
Age recommendation: from 10 years

MUSICAL ENJOYMENT FOR ALL IN A RELAXED ATMOSPHERE

Following the successful realisation for THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in July 2024 at the Raimund Theater, this unique performance format could also be experienced at the Ronacher in May 2025. The feedback to our first ‘relaxed performance’ was overwhelming. Here some of the audience comments:

‘I felt welcome in the theatre because I could be who I am.’

‘The different needs of the visitors were catered for.’

‘I can concentrate much more on enjoying myself during a relaxed performance.’
