The international best of the best clear their throats at Voice Mania with classic, jazz and rock-pop surprises, and demonstrate charmingly witty repartee.

A cappella to go

A cult ritual at the opening on 9 November 2012 is "Balcanto": ten vocal artists (formations) sing on balconies in the city center, in St. Peter's Church and then in the House of Music - with free admission. On request, a number of vocal acrobats accompany passers-by along part of their way, singing and in the groove. - Vocal art at eye level to take away.

As part of the anniversary program for 2012, celebrated a cappella stars, such as the legendary Real Group from Sweden, the Cantabile quartet from London and the sensational bands Basta and Maybebop from Germany, invite you to join the celebrations. Also on the list is countertenor Edson Cordeiro, the world wonder over four octaves from Brazil. Urstimmen and GlasBlasSing Quintett present the a cappella theater of the future. Vocal theater and slapstick stars from Voice Mania's past come together exclusively for the "Long Night of the A Cappella": the unpronounceable U-Bahn Kontrollöre in tiefgefrorenen Frauenkleidern and Montezuma's Revenge. The festival closes with the Beatboxing Comedy Show by KaiRo.

Numerous performances are given over 18 days at House of Music, Vindobona, Metropol, Theater am Spittelberg, Konzertcafé Schmid Hansl and in the Minorite Church.
