Over the past two and a half years, the Theater an der Wien, including its building fabric, has been extensively and sustainably renovated. This has secured the long-term future of the opera house for generations to come. One of the most modern opera stages has been created, which meets the highest standards and requirements for the safety and comfort of visitors, artists and employees and guarantees contemporary, modern performance operations in the long term.

In order to guarantee smooth interaction between the complex stage technology and all technical areas, a large number of training courses, familiarization sessions, test runs, stress tests and safety checks are necessary. This intensive process will take several more weeks and will unfortunately affect performance operations in the first few months.

We are pleased to inform you about the new dates of the concert performances until the end of this year. 

The opening on October 12 will be followed by a concert performance of Robert Schumann's oratorio Das Paradies und die Peri on November 15.

On December 15 and 16, the music theater Der herzlose Riese will be performed in semi-staged form on a total of four dates. Based on a Norwegian folk tale, the protagonist Lene takes the audience on an imaginative and adventurous journey, with the odd catchy tune along the way. For young and old from the age of six.

The staged tour Bravissimo! will now celebrate its premiere on February 25. Further dates for the adventurous journey of discovery through the Theater an der Wien are on March 2. The dates for April and May will take place as planned.

Tickets are now available at all advance booking offices. Further information on the entire program can be found at here.

Tickets already booked for the staged productions of W. A. Mozart's Idomeneo, Robert Schumann's Das Paradies und die Peri and Pierangelo Valtinoni's family opera Der kleine Prinz will of course be refunded. Customers who purchased their tickets online (www.theater-wien.at or www.wien-ticket.at) or via our call center will automatically receive their money back by the end of October.

We ask all others to send us the ticket information (especially the invoice number) so that we can arrange the refund (by e-mail to opernkarten@vbw.at or by post to our ticket office). If you wish, we can also issue you with a voucher for the equivalent value of the tickets.

We look forward to your visit to the Theater an der Wien!
