That part of the building was covered with a tarp, and a replacement sign was in place. For years, I wondered when the original sign would be back in place, and I had an answer to that question in the summer of 2024.

One of the most famous Bregenz Festival stages is the one from the 2007/2008 season. This is where some scenes for the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace were filmed. We remember watching it on TV some time before going to Bregenz and it looked almost unreal.
