We look forward to welcoming you to the "Open Day" 2024 at the Vienna State Opera. Between 2.30 and 4.20 pm and 6.00 and 7.50 pm you will have the opportunity to move freely around the house. To give you an insight into the diverse world of opera and ballet, departments of the Vienna State Opera have prepared a varied and exciting program for you at various stations, starting on the ground floor, through the stage and up to the organ hall on the 6th floor.

After your tour, we would like to invite you to join us for a sing-along. Here you will have the opportunity to sing excerpts from popular operas together with members of the ensemble - or simply to listen. You can go to the auditorium from 4.10 pm or 7.40 pm - you will find your allocated seat on your ticket.

For children, we have prepared a puzzle rally through the entire house. All information is available at the information stands on the ground floor.

We hope you enjoy our Open day!

Programme "Open Day"

Tickets for our standing room can be purchased online or at the Bundestheater box office from 10 am on the day of the performance. BundestheaterCard holders can book standing room tickets online the day before the performance.

In addition, a fixed contingent of standing room tickets is available for regular evening performances from 80 minutes before the start of the performance at our standing room box office (Operngasse entrance).

Our operas are sung in the original languages - these vary depending on the work.

At each seat, subtitles in different languages can be switched on or off via a separate subtitle screen. In addition to the original language of the opera, you can choose from up to eight languages: German, English, Italian, French, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin).

In the event of a change of performance, you can of course return or exchange your tickets.

As changes to the cast cannot be ruled out due to illnesses or other hindrances of artists, there is no entitlement to a refund of the ticket price or exchange in this case.

Tickets cannot be returned or exchanged if you are not admitted to the auditorium due to being late (even after the interval).
