"We let others take the applause" is one of Waagner-Biro Stage Systems' most important principles. The principle is an expression of the demands that the company, which is one of the world's largest suppliers of stage equipment, makes on the products and services that it has delivered to numerous performing arts centres around the world. As a global leader in the market, the company has mastered the art of developing and installing technical equipment which, in opera houses, theatres, music and multi-purpose halls, operate very quietly, quickly, safely and virtually invisibly. Waagner-Biro can call on nearly 160 years of experience in the branch. And, to keep meeting demands, the company is continuously expanding the boundaries of what is technically possible. The company's list of references is correspondingly impressive. From its headquarters in Vienna, the company has delivered stage technology to many internationally renowned houses. Among them are: the Vienna State Opera, the Deutsche Oper in Berlin, the Copenhagen Opera House, the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, the Opera and Ballet House in Ljubljana, The Stavanger Concert Hall in Norway, La Fenice in Venice, the MCHAT Art Theatre in Moscow, the Sydney Opera House, the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, the Teatro Municipal in Rio, the Seoul Arts Centre, the Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre and many more.
