Vienna Volksoper

The Volksoper is Vienna's great house for operetta, opera, musical, and ballet, and has been offering sophisticated musical entertainment for 120 years! Colorful, diverse, and vivacious, it is the only theater in Vienna dedicated to the genre of operetta.

Program 2020/21: varied & diverse

Ten premieres, five revivals, and 22 works in the repertoire form the Volksoper program for 2020/21.

Pamina and Tamino face all tests together in Mozart's The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte). The opera Layla and Mejnun by Detlev Glanert celebrates its premiere in the Volksoper subsidiary Kasino am Schwarzenbergplatz.

The present-day Vienna Volksoper was opened in 1898 as the "Emperor's Anniversary City Theater" and initially run as a lyric theater only. Operas and musical comedies were subsequently added to the program in 1903. World-famous singers such as Maria Jeritza, Leo Slezak and Richard Tauber performed here, and Alexander Zemlinsky worked here as conductor.

At selected operettas and musicals, subtitles in English bring the show's action a bit closer to non-German speaking visitors; after all, "The whole world loves operettas…!"
