"In Vienna we have a sensational development in tourism - this is due to the fact that Vienna is investing in the sector of art and culture" said Today the Vienna SPÖ culture spokesman, Councillor Ernst Woller, during the debate on the subsidy for the Vienna People's Theatre in the Vienna City Council. "Vienna is above all a lively theater town, the theater and not zusperrt."
The diversity of the Viennese theater world is also reflected in the coexistence of large and small - institutional and independent - against theaters, so Woller. "As part of the theater reform, the funding for the off-scene from 14 to 23 million euros has been increased - which is an increase of 64 percent in 6 years!" A reciprocal playing off of large and small theaters is not reasonable and to reject.
Vienna but also need a strong, joyful conflict, politically conscious and successful city theater, so Woller. "The Public Theater under Michael Schottenberg met awarded this claim. " Schottenberg have already received in his first season with his plays position and requires the most interesting young directors. As new venues Schottenberg have opened up the dog storm or Belllaria cinema. " The Hitler room has Schottenberg fueled a large architectural debate and a completely new place for scenic projects on contemporary history created. "
If the council decides today an additional grant of 450,000 € for the National Theatre, they so require, " to the successful passage of this to continue building ", said Woller. "The documents have been examined in detail and were accessible to all counsel." The additional needs of the theater was explained, "because it has been a management change, there is a new drama, severance and retirement accounts have become necessary and also because there has been lower revenues." The National Theatre is known to be chronically underfunded for years and "to live for 7 years with the federal subsidy cuts of 660,000 euros per year." Since 2000, the theater was EUR 4.6 million less in funding received from the federal government. "While the City of Vienna in the last 9 years, the funding . Has increased steadily by 9.4 percent, the federal government for obvious political reasons, the funding has reduced by 13.6 percent, " order to maintain the game mode, Vienna jump with half the resources necessary one - " in the hope . that the federal government takes the other half "
a big theater like the Public Theater could not exist without subsidies: " Taking the stage statistics will recognize you, for example, that the Klagenfurt City Theatre to 118.26 € per spectators, the National Theatre, however only 58 € will be subsidized. "
If the opposition parties against the promotion of Vienna vote for the People's Theater, they should call alternatives. "We're at least at the popular theater to its employees and the ensemble. A broken lock and saving of committed and successful theaters in Vienna, it is not safe with the SPÖ give!" closed Woller.
