One or two of Vienna’s hidden delights surround the Theater an der Wien. As did Johann Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus in 1874. The Theater an der Wien tends to host short-run guest productions and only recently returned to the role of opera house, though it has a long and honourable operatic and musical history that predates the Staatsoper.īeethoven’s Fidelio premiered here, for example, in 1805. (Scene from the Magic Flute at the Papagenotor of the Theater an der Wien) The Staatsoper offers rather nice guided tours in various languages. Vienna Volksoper The Vienna Volksoper is the second largest Venue for operas, musicals and concerts in Vienna.It was built in 1898 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Should you simply wish to see inside this historical building, you don’t need a ticket for an opera. The Vienna State Opera is based in Vienna, Austria and it’s history can be tracked back to the middle of the 19th century. However, you have an entirely plausible way to get inexpensive tickets on the day of a performance. The downside to this glorious history and reputation is that the Staatsoper nearly always sells out (at least in normal times). Many iconic names like Luciano Pavarotti, Maria Callas, Enrico Caruso, and Tom Cruise all performed here. Tom Cruise? Yep…the Staatsoper made an excellent film set for a Mission Impossible movie. The house on Vienna’s Ringstrassen boulevard has the biggest budget and the best-looking building of the city’s opera venues and hosts - surprise! - mainly operatic productions with some ballet. Experts speak of it in the same breath as Milan’s La Scala, the Paris Opera or New York’s The Met. The Staatsoper (State Opera House) opened in 1869 and enjoys an outstanding global reputation.
