No luxury option in Bregenz? Deuring Schlössle http://www.deuring-schloessle.at/ is within walking distance to the Seebühne in Bregenz and a very pleasant small palace in the remparts of the old city. Heino Huber is a good chef too and the place has been Relais & Chateaux some years ago.

P.S. : To make an opera anti-American is giving too much importance to politics. I remember a shocking production of Theodora in Glyndebourne which was as well over the top. This even for me who otherwise would have agreed with the message but found it out of place in an opera production.
