Klanglicht 2026

Every year, KLANGLICHT, the art festival of Bühnen Graz, transforms the Styrian capital into a world of art, music, color, and light, captivating hundreds of thousands of visitors.

KLANGLICHT, the Festival of Sound and Vision, is organized on behalf of Bühnen Graz and has been taking the magic of two central elements of theater out into the public space since 2015: using light and sound to inspire and touch people, awaken emotions and create moments of wonder. What once began with a light and sound installation in front of Graz Opera House has developed into Austria’s largest light and sound festival.

That was KLANGLICHT 2025

KLANGLICHT celebrated an anniversary in 2025: for the 10th time, Graz was transformed into a frenzy of colors and shapes, music and texts: see and hear, immerse yourself, feel, be touched.

Renowned artists from all over the world as well as young up-and-coming talents celebrated a true feast for the senses with their installations: new worlds of light and sound opened up to the audience in flooding wafts of mist, between thousands of mirrors, in the middle of the spotlight and at the same time between heaven and earth.

We saw what perhaps was not there and heard what we had not yet heard. We lost ourselves in this universe, which was in full bloom, only to fall apart again in the end.

What has remained of it? The memory of a rush in which we perhaps also rediscovered or reinvented ourselves.

KLANGLICHT is organized on behalf of Bühnen Graz and has been taking the magic of two central elements of theater out into the public space since 2015. Light and sound are used to inspire and touch people, arouse emotions and create moments of wonder. From October 24 to 27, 2025, well-known places and locations on the Schlossberg as well as in the city center of Graz were linked to numerous memories from a decade of KLANGLICHT in order to open eyes and ears to new impressions at the same time.
