269 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 4: Special Projects Category 4: Special Projects 4 Short description │Revolving stage, New Music Theatre The construction work for the new Musiktheater Linz began in 2009 after decades of discussions, planning and re-planning, and was finished with the gala opening in April 2013. The main hall of the Musiktheater provides a seating capacity for 1,000 people. The central element of the stage machinery is a large revolving stage for transport purposes with a diameter of 32 m. Located within this revolving stage is a smaller revolving stage for scenic transformations with a diameter of 15 m as well as three lifting platforms which cover the total area of 15 m x 12 m. Depending on the requirements of the performed show, either of the two parts of the large revolving stage can be rotated into the playing area of the main stage. Furthermore, the lifting platforms can pick up stage wagons which are driven onto the main stage from one of the side stages. This leads to extremely high requirements regarding the precision of the revolving stage’s rotary movement.
