Klanglicht 2025
24.10. – 27.10.2025
Every year, KLANGLICHT, the art festival of Bühnen Graz, transforms the Styrian capital into a world of art, music, color and light and captivates hundreds of thousands of people. From October 24 to 27, 2025, KLANGLICHT once again invites you to experience impressive light and sound installations by internationally renowned artists.
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.

② REVIEW
That was KLANGLICHT 2024
From October 24 to 26, 2024, the streets and squares of Graz city center were once again transformed into a glowing work of art. This year’s festival edition was dedicated to the worlds of dreams – those surreal, poetic and often profound spaces that accompany us when we are awake and asleep.
The art installations by national and international artists made thoughts float and emotions vibrate. Sometimes gentle and subtle, sometimes powerful and expansive, they unfolded a variety of moods and fantasies. Visitors were immersed in colorful cheerfulness, found themselves in fascinatingly surreal scenes or were confronted with critical reflections on existing reveries. Each installation opened up new perspectives and yet left enough room for individual interpretations – entirely in the spirit of the dream, which retains its secret.
The magic of light and sound created moments of wonder and invited visitors to leave the boundaries of everyday life behind. Between the glittering visions on the Schlossberg, the poetic light shows in the Joanneum quarter and the artistic soundscapes around the opera and Schauspielhaus, the dreams of the artists merged with those of the audience.
KLANGLICHT 2024 showed once again how art and culture can transform reality – not only as a sensory experience, but also as an invitation to reflect. Around 105,000 visitors were enchanted during these three evenings and helped to make the festival an unforgettable experience.
A big thank you to all artists, supporters and to you, the great audience! They have made KLANGLICHT 2024 a truly dreamlike journey.
