About 'Volksoper Wien'

The Volksoper Wien is one of Europe's leading operetta houses and Vienna's largest theatre for opera, musical, and dance. Along with 18th, 19th and 20th century operas, there are more than 100 performances of (Viennese) operettas per year, as well as classical musical and contemporary dance.

When it first started, the Volksoper Wien was neither a state-run theatre nor an opera house. It opened in 1898 as the "Kaiser's Jubilee Civic Theatre" and was initially run as a conventional stage for drama. Standard and comic singspiel operas had to wait until 1903 before they were incorporated into the repertoire: and Vienna's Civic Theatre gradually metamorphosed into the present day Volksoper Wien.
