The Volksoper is Vienna’s main stage for operetta, opera, musicals and ballet, offering sophisticated musical entertainment. Colourful, eclectic and full of vitality, it is the only theatre dedicated to the genre of operetta.
Operetta belongs to Vienna and Vienna installed it at the home of operetta, Volksopera Vienna, which thereupon became the leading operetta house in the world. First class singers, actors and dancers together with a versatile orchestra conjure up a musical firework display every evening. A visit to the Vienna Volksoper is a must for every visitor to Vienna!
Alongside immortal operettas such as Die Fledermaus, The Merry Widow and Countess Mariza operas from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries are also presented by the Vienna Volksoper, as well as classic musicals and ballet. In addition, the Volksoper has a fifth longstanding and proven speciality: it stages soirées, cabaret and burlesque performances under the name of “Volksoper Spezial”.
In the repertory theatre, which seats 1,337 persons, some 300 performances of around 30 different productions are staged every year between September and June.
