Bregenz Festival (Bregenzer Festspiele) is a performing arts festival which is held every July and August in Bregenz, Austria.

Founded in 1946, the festival presents a wide variety of musical and theatrical events in several venues:
Seebühne (or Lake Stage), with 7,000 seats, is the location for large-scale opera or musical performances on a floating stage on the shores of Lake Constance.
Opera or musical productions on the lake stage generally tend to come from the popular operatic repertoire, and have included Il trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi in 2005-2006; West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein in 2003-2004; and La bohème by Giacomo Puccini in 2001-2002.

Over April and May 2008, scenes for the latest James Bond film Quantum of Solace were filmed on the Seebühne during a performance of Tosca.
