Type of venue
Located in the heart of Vienna, the Theater an der Wien is one of the oldest and most renowned opera houses in Europe.
Founded in 1801 by Emanuel Schikaneder, the librettist of Mozart's Magic Flute, it has a rich history and tradition that make it a cultural jewel of the city.
From the very beginning, it has been innovative and has hosted many important premieres, including that of Ludwig van Beethoven, who premiered his only opera, Fidelio.
The special atmosphere of the theatre, with only about 1,000 seats, gives the audience an immediate and intense opera experience.
