The Volksoper is Viennas main stage for operetta, opera, musicals and ballet, offering sophisticated musical entertainment. Colourful, eclectic and full of vitality, it is the only theatre dedicated to the genre of operetta.

Operetta belongs to Vienna and Vienna installed it at the home of operetta, Volksopera Vienna, which thereupon became the leading operetta house in the world. First class singers, actors and dancers together with a versatile orchestra cunjure up a musical firework display every evening.

Johann Strauss, Franz Lehr, Emmerich Klmn wrote their world famous beloved melodies for operettas such as The Fledermaus, The Merry Widow and Countess Mariza. A visit to at least one of these operettas at the Volksopera Vienna is a must for every visitor to Vienna!

The Volksoper is celebrating 410 years of operetta history - the 140th birthdays of both Oscar Straus and Franz Lehár, and the 130th birthday of Robert Stolz.

All three personalities left their own mark on the "silver operetta" era, and indeed went beyond the operetta form: Straus as a film composer, Lehár as the creator of important works in true operatic style, and Robert Stolz as perhaps the last master of the German "Lied".

On this occasion, the Volksoper presents immortal classics from rarely produced works of the three titans of light music.
