About 'Wiener Staatsoper'

The Vienna State Opera is the epitome of Austrian musical tradition and as a result the symbol for this culturally present nation.

Looking at the Vienna State Opera building from the front, the historical portion from the original 1869 building is visible. The façade remains in Renaissance arched style. The back part of the two part building is clearly wider, and houses the stage and the accompanying facilities and the narrower front part houses the auditorium and the publicly accessible rooms. The vertical wing sections were originally used as carriage ramps. On the transverse front sides the crest of the Austrian-Hungarian empire can be seen.

Entering through one of the main doors gives an impression of the interior of the former opera house which was mostly destroyed on the 12th of March 1945. Remaining in its original form is the entire façade and the main foyer, the central stairway, the Schwindfoyer and loggia as well as the Tea Salon on the first floor.
