Musiktheatertage Wien and Austrian Music Export invite international producers to a Producers´ Meeting taking place at Werk X on June 16, 2018. Ten productions will be presented in form of brief presentations as part of Musiktheatertage Wien 2018. Austrian Music Export cordially invites producers who are active in the field of music theatre to participate. There will also be a comprehensive programme of performances, networking events and discussions. Musiktheatertage Wien will take place from June 3 – 24, 2018.
What is „music theatre“? What is the relation between music, spoken word and other media? Are spoken words important at all? If not, will this still be „music theatre“? Contemporary music theatre productions question these issues, often in very different artistic and human ways.
