We continuously monitor and optimise our energy consumption (heating, cooling, electricity, water): We have reduced the façade lighting at the Festspielhaus and converted it to LED, reduced the flow temperature for hot water and heating and are gradually converting the entire general lighting to LED.

Together with the property management department of the state capital of Dresden, we have identified measures to reduce consumption and improve energy management.

We are continuously optimising the print runs of our printed materials, printing in regional print shops wherever possible, using climate-neutral and FSC-certified paper. For the C02 emitted during the printing process, we make compensation payments for climate protection projects via Climate Partner. If you receive printed matter from us and do not need it, please send an e-mail to info@hellerau.org.

Instead of the printed evening programme, information about the evening will be displayed on the monitors in the main foyer. Scanning the QR code placed there will take you to the event website.

The team and artists use reusable drinking bottles that can be refilled at our drinking water dispensers. Our guests can also purchase the bottles in the visitor centre, at the box office or at the information stand in Café OHA at the HfBK (every 2nd Tuesday of the month).

We make sure that our merchandising products are produced sustainably. Cotton bags, lanyards, caps and pens made from bamboo can be purchased at the visitor centre and box office.

Tickets purchased online can be shown digitally on a mobile phone.

We cooperate with regional partners to lend technology and materials that are not available at HELLERAU. We support local initiatives to develop material depots.

Where possible, we use bicycle couriers for transport within the city.

We have procured three bicycles for our team and our artists.
