Anatol – Schnitzler's Viennese answer to Casanova and Don Juan:

Anatol, a seducer who always hopes to be seduced. He is both a winner and a loser in the charming love roulette and addicted to the game itself. For every win – every conquest – nourishes the hope for true, unique, and real love.

The wealthy bachelor Anatol, an elegant charmer and philosophical dandy, spends his time – accompanied by his loyal friend Max – engaging in love adventures and shifts from one affair to another. Narcissism, pathological jealousy, and inability to love stand in the way of his personal fulfillment.

In his superficial encounters, he meets artists, married women, and young girls. At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, Arthur Schnitzler created with Anatol (1893) a parade figure of the Fin de Siècle. Anatol is a decadent, self-loving man whose life reflects the political significance loss of an entire bourgeois generation.

The Author:

Arthur Schnitzler (1862–1931), a significant storyteller and dramatist of the Vienna Modern era and a doctor, analyzed in his works the problems of society at the Fin de siècle, which were marked by signs of decay, decadence, and the longing for death, but also by hope for a new beginning. His most famous works include the one-act play cycle "Anatol," the novel "Lieutenant Gustl," and the drama "La Ronde." Schnitzler made the inner monologue an important...

Austria's largest women's tennis tournament will take place from April 5 to April 12, 2026, at the Design Center
This will be a glorious anniversary! The most important women's sports event in Austria celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2026 and shines with a spectacular setup. The Upper Austria Ladies Linz will be held on clay for the first time from April 5 to April 12, 2026, at the Design Center, offering fans a whole new tennis experience.

WTA History made in Linz/Upper Austria (1991 - 2026)
Congratulations from Billie Jean King
With this, the Upper Austria Ladies Linz continues its successful tradition as the second oldest indoor tournament on the WTA Tour. Starting with Martina Navratilova, followed by Venus and Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic, and the current world number one Aryna Sabalenka, a total of 19 world number ones have competed at the Upper Austria Ladies Linz - a true success story! A special congratulations for the upcoming anniversary has already been sent by tennis pioneer Billie Jean King, who sent a video message to Sandra Reichel: "Congratulations on the anniversary. Thank you for everything you have done for women's tennis and the WTA. All the best for the next 35 years!", said King, who was one of the founders of the WTA in 1973.

Top 10 player Ekaterina Alexandrova wants to defend her title -
Austrian women on the rise
The winner of the Upper Austria Ladies Linz 2025, Ekaterina Alexandrova, has already confirmed her participation for the anniversary tournament. The 30-year-old triumphed in February in a high-class final against Dayana Yastremska and thus began what is likely the best year of her career. Alexandrova will make her ninth appearance in Linz next April. "I always feel at home in Linz and I am already looking forward to returning next year and trying to defend my title. It will surely be something very special to play on clay for the first time in this beautiful hall in front of the great audience," Alexandrova looks ahead.

Austria's tennis women are also currently on the rise: With Julia Grabher, Sinja Kraus, and young talent Lilli Tagger, three players are on a successful course internationally. Grabher recently won a WTA 125 tournament in Florianopolis (Brazil) and has returned to the top 100.

Sinja Kraus is about to break through this barrier for the first time. The Viennese player recently won her first WTA 125 tournament in Colombia. And then there’s 17-year-old Lilli Tagger, who was recently named Austria's Young Sportsperson of the Year. Tagger won the girls' competition at the French Open in Paris in June. In November, she made her debut at her first WTA tournament and sensationally reached the finals. "I am really excited about the upward trend of Austrian players. This is a hugely important signal for women's tennis in Austria," explains tournament director Sandra Reichel.

Sports Capital and Sports Hub The Upper Austria Ladies Linz will kick off next year on Easter weekend with the qualification on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026. The final of the tournament will take place on Sunday, April 12, 2026. On this day, Upper Austria and Linz will become the sporting center of Austria. Before the final of the WTA 500 tournament, the Linz Marathon will take place in the state capital of Upper Austria on this Sunday. The organizers are already in close communication to achieve optimal coordination of both events.

More than just a tennis tournament The Upper Austria Ladies Linz will also implement numerous initiatives in 2026 as part of its four-pillar strategy aimed at promoting women's sports, youth, inclusion, and sustainability. Continuations of the women's sports conference "Advantage Ladies", the children's action "1,000 tennis rackets for 1,000 girls", and an inclusion day with a wheelchair tennis exhibition are already in planning.

Music, that writes life.
For over 25 years, the three sisters have been sharing the stage together, not just their passion for music but also a special gift: "Vocal in Harmony" - the masterful singing in harmony.
The songs are inspired by life and deeply intertwined with the sisters' own experiences. Embedded in gentle three-part harmonies and emotional lyrics, they create an intimate, acoustic atmosphere that touches and captivates the audience.
"Stories" is an acoustic singer-songwriter concert with a special blend of folk, jazz, and pop. The Schick Sisters manage to make their music so approachable and emotional that the audience feels directly taken into their world, their stories, and their harmonies.

CÉST SI BON!

“IT IS GOOD”: That’s nice to hear! Just as much as the selected melodies that the Wiener Neustädter ZiehHarmoniker will perform in their annual concert. A box of delights: Tango and sounds of the Balkans as well as swinging evergreens and pop hits in Big Band style. To make it sound good, Fritzi Steiner will give her best at the conductor's podium, while Stefan Thurner will provide some witty remarks with his entertaining moderation. Look forward to a bonsoir in the Wiener Neustädter Kasematten.

On October 6, 2025, Pentatonix announced their Spring Tour 2026 through the UK and Europe. Starting from April 7, the Grammy Award-winning vocal ensemble will travel to cities in the UK and Europe, captivating audiences with their lush harmonies, stunning a cappella arrangements, and unforgettable stage presence. The 16-day headliner tour will kick off in Hungary and will go through the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Germany, France, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway up to Sweden. The newly announced tour marks the group's first return to the continent since their successful tour in 2023.

Out of nowhere, Benedikt Mitmannsgruber has turned 30 overnight.
Surrounded by forests, cows, and farms, he reflects on the last years.

In the attic of his parents' house, he discovers a yellowing album containing a family tree.

For Benedikt Mitmannsgruber, this marks the beginning of a furious journey through his family's past and his own absurd everyday life.

The journey starts in the early 20th century in a small village on the Czech border. There, Benedikt Mitmannsgruber's great-grandparents decide to have 15 children. In the 1960s, Benedikt Mitmannsgruber's parents are born. They spend their childhood next to the Iron Curtain in the deepest Austrian province. No one really knows whether this little strip of land actually belongs to Czechia or Austria. In the 1990s, the curtain falls, and Benedikt Mitmannsgruber's parents decide to conceive a son. He is born into a world where he never quite fits in, but still loves, with all its quirky inhabitants and peculiarities.

A tribute to growing up in nowhere. A love letter to forgotten little towns. A journey into one's own past. A quirky look at our society and a world gone awry.

Benedikt Mitmannsgruber's third program "1996" is dedicated to his two parents and four grandparents, who shaped him into the Benedikt Mitmannsgruber he is today, despite a difficult upbringing at the end of the world with hardly any prospects!

“At the beginning of my career, I made a promise to myself and my mother Fannie Mae Allison that on every album of mine, at least one or two pieces by my father would be heard,” he explains.

Bernard has kept his word: both at concerts and on his records, he faithfully performs his father's songs to this day. He usually does this in a funky, rock-oriented style that clearly differs from the traditional blues he grew up with.

While he was still finding his own musical voice, his father encouraged him to “play it the way you feel it,” rather than copy what was before him. Just in time for the 30th anniversary of Ruf Records and over three decades after the debut of blues guitar master Bernard Allison, Luther's Blues extensively celebrates the musical legacy of Bernard's father Luther Allison – a true legend of Chicago Blues and a central figure in the history of the record label.

The double CD contains 20 outstanding recordings by Bernard Allison, each one a composition by Luther Allison that has previously appeared on one of Bernard's numerous albums. Allison himself selected the tracks for this collection; Pauler Acoustics, a renowned name in the Hi-Fi scene, has lovingly remastered them.

The 20 Luther Allison songs on Luther's Blues have thus been upgraded by a representative of the next blues generation for the 21st century. They are not necessarily Luther's most famous pieces. When he works on a new album, Bernard says he often looks for “songs that were overlooked back then by my father. I then give them my own touch.”

The tracklist of the two CDs spans exactly 30 years, from “Hang On” – recorded in Paris in the summer of 1992, when Allison was only in his mid-twenties – to the two pieces from the last studio album Highs & Lows, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Blues Chart in 2022 and earned a nomination for Blues-Rock Album of the Year at the Blues Music Awards. There are also new versions of familiar Luther Allison songs like “Bad Love,” “Life Is A Bitch,” and “Let's Try It Again.”

Bernard Allison has played a significant role in keeping these songs, now considered classics, in our collective consciousness. This is especially true for “Serious,” an exceptional track that first appeared on a Luther Allison record in 1987. His son plays it at every concert without exception and considers it his father's most popular song worldwide.

Yet he has never lost sight of where he comes from and is back on tour!

A cozy walk with appetizing stops, garnished with cheerful anecdotes. With many interesting bits of information about cooking and enjoying, about the origin and the uniqueness of our products – of course complemented by tastings from regional kitchens. Strolling and indulging is the motto.

Should you pay dog tax for your dachshund even if he now feels like a cat? Is it morally reprehensible to be sponsored by a plastic surgeon who himself has protruding ears? Or is all of this LARI FARI – nonsense and frivolity?

Michael Scheruga addresses the most essential questions of our time in his new program: How left are the right-wingers, how right are the greens, and why the hell do we have to pay beer tax?! Beer is already way too expensive in gastronomy! The enthusiastic beer lover and beer sommelier is closely connected with the local pub scene and wants to emphatically write to politics:

- Don’t mess with our thirst!
- Beer is the last bastion!
- The beer of the little man is untouchable!

The VAT on beer should be immediately halved and this outrageous beer tax should be abolished without replacement! With benefit events for endangered beer species, for example – or even with the simple demand “school beer instead of school milk,” we need to urgently counter the advance and triumph of international abstinence.

Topics: Colors, Creativity, Exploration

A room in black and white. Not a splash of color to be seen anywhere. But how can this be? How wonderful it would be to sink into the yellow of a sunflower, taste the red of raspberry juice, or swim in the blue of the sky. After all, life is only colorful with color! But here, everything is empty, cool, and boring. To fall asleep!



After a dream full of colors, they suddenly appear everywhere: Colorful wooden beads tumble out of a drawer, yellow paint drips into an aquarium, a green meadow appears beneath the floor, and blue cloths float from the ceiling. The colorless emptiness gives way to a surging sea of colors that begins to foam through wind and dance. Let yourself be drawn into the spectacle of moving color splendor!



PRESS VOICE

“Powerful moments that captivate even the smallest theater visitors and make them marvel. Dancer and co-choreographer Maartje Pasman shines as a nimble comedienne as well as a graceful acrobat” (Wiener Zeitung)

The most hiked woman in the world has determined after more than 65,000 kilometers across five continents: Hiking takes place everywhere, but in different ways. She compares with funny and thought-provoking anecdotes from 40 countries the outdoor cultures from Chile to Taiwan and shows what we can also learn from it.

On her recent trails in Asia, she survived earthquakes, typhoons, and an overdose of kimchi, then pilgrimaged for recovery through the European cultural landscape and has fought her way through the wildernesses of America and the Australian outback multiple times. In doing so, the globetrotter learned that not only climate and terrain influence the hiking experience, but also eating habits, beauty ideals, and labor laws. In her new show, she compares with funny and thoughtful anecdotes from 40 countries the outdoor cultures from Chile to Taiwan and shows what we can also learn from it.

Where can you hike around a stranded nuclear power plant? Which outdoor snack is only available here as dog food? And why do some hikers look like bank robbers?

The four-time bestselling author surprises with unusual tour suggestions and practical tips and answers her audience's questions live. Above all, she lovingly gives cowards and couch potatoes a psychological kick in the butt, as she believes: We should all dare to have more adventures! To leave no excuses, she works with her audience step by step on how one (and especially women) loses the fear of solo tours and spends the night alone in the woods. No matter whether you are looking for God, yourself, or your ideal weight: This encouraging show proves that you will always be happy while hiking.

When Christine Thürmer was born in 1967, nothing indicated that she would one day become the most hiked woman in the world. While she was the best in her class at school, she was an absolute failure in sports. So she first made a steep career as a manager before realizing after an unexpected termination and the death of a friend: Time - and not money - is the most important resource in life. Completely untrained, she hiked 4,277 kilometers from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail, despite flat feet, X-legs, and being overweight! And that's just the beginning: More than 65,000 kilometers she has since covered on foot, crossing the USA and Europe three times each and writing four books about her adventures. "Run. Eat. Sleep." about the American trails, "Hike. Bike. Paddle." about her trips in Europe, "Hiking Long Distances" with her packed outdoor know-how, and the hiking guide "On 25 Paths Around the World" stood on the Spiegel bestseller list for months.

The origin story of the Berlin rap duo is as random and coincidental as their name "6euroneunzig". Kat and Nina met at an acting audition in Berlin and both got eliminated in round 3. What do they say? All good things come in threes? In this case, truly: because what would have been the end for others was the beginning for them. Now they take their stage without any theater, and they definitely belong there: with fast beats, wordplays with the magical 69, lyrics that mean a slap in the face for some Macho, and an attitude that screams BadBitch. 6euroneunzig sounds like Blümchen, Ikkimel, and SXTN making music together in a squatted house on Rigaer Street.



Whether at Fusion, c / o Pop, or Appletree (just to name a few), anyone who has seen 6euroneunzig aka Kat & Nina live knows: this is not just music being made, but feminist club and rap history is being written here.



That’s why we can now announce what many have probably been waiting for a long time, especially since the first release show sold out way too quickly.



In 2026, THE BITCHES ARE IN POWER – and going on TOUR!



In a total of 12 cities, we can finally join Kat & Nina "TO THE PARTY, TO THE PARTY"! with a hefty dose of Badbitch attitude packed (promise). So be quick and come by when 6euroneunzig opens a new chapter of their Tussitechno, Fotzenrap & Pussypop history.
