About this experience
Skipping a visit to the Vienna Opera House at least once a year is considered a faux pas. The opera theater is the stronghold of local culture. I will guide you through the theater, show you behind the scenes and the auditorium. I will tell you intriguing facts about the construction of the theater, the lives of its directors, and the stars of the stage. You will be captivated by the grandeur of the Vienna Opera and may come back next time straight to the Ball.
What to Expect
The Vienna Opera House is both the first building on the prestigious Ringstrasse street in Neo-Renaissance style and a reminder of the bygone Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
Today, the theater is among the top five in terms of acoustics and ambience of opera centers worldwide. The annual program includes around 60 opera performances and 20 ballet shows.
During the tour you will:
- Stroll through the building, peek behind the scenes and into the auditorium
- Hear the history of the theater's construction before and after the war
- Learn why the building was called
