Graz Opera Graz Opera Graz Opera (German: Oper Graz) is an Austria opera house and opera company based in Graz. The orchestra of the opera house also performs concerts as the Graz Philharmonic Orchestra ("Grazer Philharmonisches Orchester"). Opera had been performed in Graz since the 17th century, originally in a converted coach house on the Habsburg royal estates.

Graz Reininghaus fields. Peter Reininghaus Sr.’s death in 1973 signaled the beginning of a period of 25 years in which many projects were conceived, but none were actually completed.

The Fachhochschule Joanneum and the flagship operation of the Styrian human technology cluster Roche Diagnostics border on the area.
