Musiktheater Linz is a modern glass and metal building featuring multiple terraces, rehearsal rooms, and a 970-seat auditorium with excellent acoustics. The venue includes several bars and a restaurant with panoramic city views.
The venue was completed in 2013 by British architect Terry Pawson, replacing the previous Landestheater as the city's main performance space. The new building marked a turning point for the city's cultural offerings and performance capabilities.

Direct access to the adjacent underground parking makes arrival straightforward, particularly in bad weather. Guided tours are available and help visitors understand the architectural and technical aspects of the building.
The stage mechanism contains 37 independently moving platforms that enable rapid scene changes during performances. This advanced system ranks among Europe's most sophisticated theatrical technologies.
