The actors were so versatile, playing several roles each, even switching genders with limited costume changes. I was very impressed. The venue itself is quite intimate. You really can't get a bad seat. However, as is often the case in small theatres, there was a rush for the small toilets at the intermission. I doubt that everyone made it through the lines. The bar area was nice but small. It appeared that some people made arrangements to have drinks waiting for them at the tables during intermission but there was no signage saying this was an option. Still I would recommend visiting if you get a chance.

I really LOVE this theater, as it is old with a tone of history, however it also has the elegant…read moreand majestic feeling to it when looking from the outside and the inside. One needs to take some time to look UP when inside each of the areas, you will see things you did not expect to see, a very pleasant addition to your experience here. The acoustics are not as good as the new modern theaters, but certainly they are nothing to complain about, but there is a noticeable difference.

The Performeum in Vienna is a spacious and cool new visual and performing arts venue in Favoriten…read more It's only a short walk from the Hauptbahnhof so it is well-served by public transit. The Performeum is found in an old factory building that is almost like a campus as there are a lot of people just hanging outside on the grassy areas near the main entrance. During the Wiener Festwochen (Vienna Festival) it has several exhibitions and performances going on. Some are ticketed and some are free but all are unique. Of course you can purchase food and drinks here as well. Check out this cool new center for the arts!

Dreamy, incredible and full of awe!…read more This gorgeous opera house is everything. We came here for Simon Boccanegra by Giuseppe Verdi. Disclaimer: I'm not heavy into opera or know a whole lot about them. However, this place was a WOW moment. Being in Vienna, the most incredible, historical, full of life, music and character, city in the world - a visit to the Opera House was needed. We are so glad we did! They have all kind of seat selections, balcony, floor and even standing for a more budget friendly approach. Our little balcony section was awesome though it had a heavily blocked view we were able to hear everything so clearly plus we had the little screens where you can follow along with the vocals. It was an unforgettable experience and so worth it if you're in Vienna visiting. You can also book tours and learn all about the history of the opera house which I think would be fascinating to learn.

If you're in Vienna, you definitely have to visit the State Opera House! I've been to opera houses…read morein the U.S., but most of them are relatively new compared to this one. The level of detail here is incredible - every corner feels like a work of art, from the ornate ceilings to the grand staircases. The performance was equally stunning. The orchestra and opera singers were on another level - so powerful and moving that even though I'm not usually into classical music, I loved every minute of it. This was truly an unforgettable experience and one of those bucket-list items you absolutely have to check off when visiting Vienna.

This is an iconic concert hall and it's worth a visit for a concert. However, I wasn't thrilled…read morewith paying for a program. The performers were generally top-notch and their Baroque attire was a nice bonus. The staff mostly enforced the "no video" policy. People dress fairly decently here, but you'll find those that consider flip-flops and shorts as proper classical music attire. It's a lovely venue overall, so definitely soak in the history.

Beautiful concert hall and one of the world's most famous. It opened January 6 1870. What an…read moreunforgettable experience. I purchased tickets for the Golden Hall through Booking.com in the Superior Orchestra section, and when we picked up the tickets we were upgraded. That was a nice surprise. The view was absolutely perfect. It was an incredible evening from start to finish. The acoustics were phenomenal, and the entire performance was breathtaking. The solo violinist and the female opera singer were true standouts. Their performances felt like pure magic and were among the highlights of the night. The Vienna Mozart Orchestra appeared in beautiful 18th-century period costumes, bringing the music and atmosphere of Mozart's era vividly to life. A truly unforgettable experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Vienna.

Peter's Operncafe in Vienna is a 35 year old temple devoted to opera and operetta. Located on the…read moreeastern edge of the central district, it is only open in the evenings. According to one of the owners most of the big-name opera singers of the last few decades have stopped in here at one time or another. I believe him as the many pictures on the walls testify to that fact. The background music at Peter's Operncafe is of course opera - perhaps even from a rare vinyl recording. The lighting is low and candlelit. The drink of choice is wine. While I find Peter's Operncafe worth a visit for its uniqueness, it is not a place I would hang in. And unfortunately it doesn't appear that many people do these days as outside of a special opera or celebratory occasion, only a few Stammgäste seem to be gathering here. Still, Peter's Operncafe is a well-known spot in Vienna and sometimes a place to change gears in a hectic world with a glass of wine and a Puccini aria from La Boheme.
