"The Vienna City Council decided on Wednesday a additional grant of 450,000 € for the Vienna People's Theatre - after serious consideration of all documents that are accessible to all
party representatives" said today the Vienna SPÖ culture spokesman, Councillor Ernst Woller. "We know very well that this is only part of the debt, we still hope that the federal government fulfills its obligation in the same height!"
The height of the now agreed funding for the National Theatre comparatively lower than some years ago agreed debt relief for the city was Joseph so Woller. "the now financial situation has arisen because the people theater is known to be chronically underfunded for years and for 7 years federal subsidy cuts of 660,000 euros per year live." Since 2000, the theater had 4.6 million Euro to receive less funding. "While the city of Vienna in the last 9 years subsidies increased steadily by 9.4 percent, the federal government from obvious political reasons, the funding by 13.6 percent has reduced."
has now come the time when the theater no longer could - "in order to maintain the game mode, jumps Vienna with half the necessary funds in the hope that the federal government the other half takes over. "
As part of the reform were the theater promotions for the off-scene from 14 to 23 million Euro has been raised - "This is an increase of 64 percent in 6 years!" So want. In Vienna there was a good juxtaposition of large and small - and free institutional - theaters. "A reciprocal playing off in any case not sense."
When the Viennese opposition parties with the support of the National Theatre did not agree, they should call alternatives. "A Broken saving and close down theaters will not give it to the SPÖ in Vienna!" Woolley concluded.
