The Stage is set
Austrian Theatre Museum - Vienna
11 November 2009 – 31 December 2010
Throughout the centuries a variety of forms of the stage and the
auditorium have been developed. Depending on time and worldview, the
importance and the visual design of the theatre space were manifold: In
the middle Ages, secular or sacred places are the stage where audience
and artists act together. By the time of Renaissance and Baroque,
sovereigns, aristocrats and wealthy merchants were building edifices
specifically designed for theatrical performances. The exhibition shows
various models allowing a better understanding of the evolution and the
different styles of staging.

Serge Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the
Ballets Russes, 1909 - 1929
Victoria & Albert Museum, London
25 September 2010 – 9 January 2011
This major retrospective will examine the origins, development and long
term influence of the Ballets russes, to celebrate the centenary of
their first appearance in 1909. Diaghilev’s extraordinary company,
which survived a twenty-year rollercoaster of phenomenal successes and
crippling problems, revolutionised ballet. As importantly, Diaghilev’s
use of avant-garde composers, such as Stravinsky and designers such as
Bakst, Goncharova, Picasso and Matisse, made a major contribution to
the introduction of Modernism

“Austria Herself is Nothing but a Stage”
Thomas Bernhard and the Theatre : Salzburg and Vienna
Austrian Theatre Museum - Vienna
5th November 2009 – 4th July 2010
The exhibition marking the twentieth anniversary of Thomas Bernhard’s
death offers a comprehensive survey of his work for the theatre, with
the focus on the two Austrian cities where many of his plays had their
premieres: Salzburg and Vienna. With the help of five plays first
performed in these two cities, the exhibition illustrates central
aspects of Bernhard’s work for the stage. Numerous documents from the
estate of Thomas Bernhard, as well as composition drawings and stage
photographs, help to illustrate one of the most exceptional careers in
the history of Austrian literature and theatre – one that alternated
between spectacular triumphs and headline-grabbing scandals.
