Zusammenfassung:	This summer, instead of the customary Bregenz Festival opening program of speeches and symphonic passages, the new intendant, David Pountney, surprised everyone with a rowdy revue of the talents and topics to be shortly on view. The chorus from West Side Story woke up the suits and gowns in the Austrian celebrity audience, giving them a real treat as well as a preview of coming attractions. Pountney launched his intendancy with a greater integration of art, artworks, art installations, and artists into the festival program.
