Dataset is not available.
This table contains the results for capacity, performances and attendance of organisations where professional performing arts are presented. The results are broken down by region and discipline.
Data available from: 1999.
Status of the figures:
The figures for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 are preliminary. All other figures are final.
Changes as of December 2022:
The preliminary figures for 2021 are added. The decrease in capacity at stadiums and event halls in 2021 is caused by the fact that no performing arts performances or activities took place in some locations in that year.
When will new figures be published?
In the fourth quarter of 2023 the preliminary figures of the preceding year will be published.
