open air live streaming of the shows inside! come at least 40 minutes early to find a seat, and enjoy:) check online to see if they will stream. the screen is on the side where the metro station is.

Gezen Gören

if you visit Vienna and you like art and music .. this is a must-do.. i visited a Mozart concert (cheapest ticket price around 50 euro , but surely worth it)

Jerry Hong

Buy standing tickets for 3 or 4 euros . Rick Steves says to stand in line 80 mins before the show. Everyone knows that now, so you should stand 120 mins before the show to guarantee a ticket.

Shaileshwori Sharma

Standing tickets for 3-4 euros . Better to sit in line early (5-5:30 pm). Check in jackets/bags for free.Do research the shows: we felt Elektra could have been done better but the music was phenomenal.

Ioannis Papapetrou

Great building with beautiful shows time to time...You should book online to be sure or you can risk last minute to find a good seat very cheap just outside the main entrance...

Showcasing always the best shows. I am stunned that you can get loge seats for €16. A steal! If you’re brave, standing tickets for €5-6.

???????? Wien Opera is a must! TIP: Go 1h before at the side entrance to get your 3€ or 4€ stand ticket. Really deserves the waiting line !

Julia Kryvomaz

One of the most beautiful operas I have ever seen. Opera concerts are must see at least once. In the new year period shows live concerts on the screen outside

General manager Dominique Meyer produces a repertoire of world-class opera at the Staatsoper. Visit the main hall to see restored 19th-century frescoes before having a cocktail in the grand Tea Salon.

Edelyn

World famous place. Dress up smartly and look the part eventhough you only have the cheap(er) ticket. 35eur ticket in halbmitte gallerie is good value , could see all of the stage clearly.

Biletiniz yok diye üzülmeyin.Temsilden 1.5 saat once gelip ayakta bileti alabilirsiniz 3 euroya/If you come here before 1 hour of performance , it is possible to buy a ticket for standing just 3 euros .

Kaleigh Neuberger

You can get standing tickets the day of the show for about €3 or €4. Definitely worth waiting a couple hours! The theatre is gorgeous. We saw a ballet and it was stunning!

Alyssa Guo

Go for a guided tour in the afternoon. You may get lucky and get to see the stage from the back.

Anthi

In the interval of the opera you should drink a glass of sparkling wine and have a couple bites of salmon and prawn delis or pralines ! This place is unique!

SmS K

There is big screen outside of the opera house which broadcast live opera ! You can watch by sitting before the screen

Barbara Reis

Very beautiful building, worth a visit. The tickets get sold out fast, so buy in advance. Standing tickets start to be sold 1h30min before the oper, the line gets really big.

Darleny Lopez

One of the most beautiful places in Vienna. And the history behind it is simply amazing

Bernard Otesanya

Fantastic atmosphere . We saw Love potion Opera here . It’s a bit pricey but it is best enjoyed getting seats about 10-12 rows from the stage

Dmitry Go

What’s good: The performance itself was excellent. Go if you can. Don’t get scared by the language, there are subtitles provided on an individual screen in a number of languages.

Anton Klink

Wonderful architecture and interior design . Check it out even if you don't have a ticket to the opera .

Harald B.

One of the leading opera houses in Europe with top singers , directors and the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra. Attractive prices for stance area!

Atmosphere is sophististicated! It is quite an experience.If you are visiting vienna you really should save time for to see a show here????

Ash Menon

The interior is amazing! Be sure to check the position of your seats, especially among the side balconies . The view varies in quality.

Carolina Portella

U can pay only 5 euros and watch an opera or a ballet on stand part. Better pay a litlle more and sit.

Marie Steinthaler

Usually closed over the summer. Reopens in September. One of the most famous opera houses in the world, and the one with the most variety.

Cosmic Girl

Amazing experience! Tosca starring Roberto Alagna was perfect! Enjoyed every minute of it!

Markus Rach

I recommend the tour through the opera - goes for about 45 minutes - thus doable. It's quite interesting to see the backstage area which is three times as large as the opera guest area...

Сергей Серебрянский

Don't buy tickets to second row in boxes. You'll see 50% of the stage (standing). Better watch the perfomance on the big screen outdoors for free

Kat Berseneva

Performances are breathtaking, music , singers , dancers are marvellous. Even if you aren't so in with opera take a tour inside, the building itself has a spirit!

Mennan Bërveniku

You can obtain student tickets from 10-14€ for any unsold seat. So when you go for taking a standing ticket, ask first the worker there if there are student tickets available for that performance . ;)

If tickets are too expensive , don't be sad. fast every day are open translations in front of opera . Bring a blanket and enjoy.

Aditya

The 4 euro standing ticket queue begins about 1.5-2 hours before the show. Place is not reserved until you tie the scarves at the stands. So run to the stands once you get the tickets.

Ergin Eroğlu

Fantastic atmosphere to listen classical music

Selinko

Very beautiful both inside and outside and watching a performance amplifies the beauty ???? Highly recommended ????

Anabel García

Vienna musicians are amazing, great place for concerts and Mozart heritage is everywhere, love it!

Buy standing tickets for 3 euros 60 min. before the performance . At one of its sides there is a banner "standing area". There are re-sellers at the door that chargex3 the ticket value, beware!
