Vienna’s world-famous cultural heritage means that it is blessed with a wide range of theatres showing everything from baroque opera to classic plays in English.

Theatre an der Wien, Address: Josefstädter Straße 26, Wien 8

Emanuel Schikaneder, the librettist of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, founded this beautiful venue in 1801. The Theatre an der Wien has perhaps more tradition associated with it than any other theatre in Vienna, if not in all of Austria. It consistently sets new standards with its productions of operas during the Wiener Festwochen festival.

Burgtheatre (National Theatre), Dr-Karl-Lueger-Ring 2, A- 1010

Only the grand imperial Burgtheatre is more famous and prestigious than the Theatre an der Wien, producing the works of seminal Austrian playwrights such as Arthur Schnitzler as well as showcasing younger, contemporary talent. The theatre was opened in 1741 by Empress Maria Theresia after being converted from a dancehall. It was one of the first theatres in the German-speaking world. Remarkably, the Burgtheatre’s repertory has created over the years its own individual speaking and performance style totally unique to the theatre.

The Vienna State Opera House, Opernring 2, 1010

If you want to see authentic opera in its natural environment, then this venue is a must. Aside from attending an awesome performance by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra on one of Europe’s largest stages, it is worth checking out the numerous decorations and artworks on show, from the beautiful loggia depictions of The Magic Flute by artist and composer Moritz von Schwind to the Renaissance styling of the building itself. You’ll soon understand why it’s no surprise that the Vienna State Opera House took 8 years to build, between 1861 and 1869.

Vienna's English Theatre, Josefsgasse 12, 1080

As the name suggests, you can come here to watch English language productions of Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee. Actors that have performed here include Jeanne Moreau, Anthony Quinn, and Joan Fontaine. The theatre was founded in 1963 by Franz Schafranek, a famed Austrian director, and Ruth Brinkmann, an American actress and academic.

Raimund Theatre, Wallgasse 18-20, 1060

The modest-looking Raimund Theatre, begun in 1893 as a venue for German folk dramas, evolved into putting on operettas such as Strauss’ The Gypsy Baron, and it is now the place to see international musicals such as We Will Rock You, which gave the theatre its record advance ticket sales of 90,000.

Volksoper, Wahringerstrasse 78, 1090
Vienna’s folk theatre has shows that are enormously varied, from ballets such as The Nutcracker to concert performances of Strauss and Kalman to major operas by the likes of Puccini. It was built in 1898 and originally named the Kaiser-Jubiläums-Stadttheater. Today, it seats 1,473 and has space for 102 to stand. The theatre’s website is quite interesting, offering video clips of performances and a glimpse ‘backstage’ into the inner workings of the Volksoper.

Josefstadt, Josefstadter 26, 1080

The Josefstadt was founded in 1788 and is the oldest functioning theatre in Vienna. It has the appearance of a period townhouse and was associated closely with such luminaries as Beethoven and Wagner. It has 610 seats and room for 14 to stand. Challenging productions such as Mein Kampf are presented alongside live talks with renowned directors, producers, and actors. Josefstadt’s sumptuous foyer is worth beholding before
