Die schweigsame Frau war genau so ei

Der Rosenkavalier, Richard Strauss Wiener Staatsoper 18 May 2026 Anyone looking for an authentic Rosenkavalier will find a fine version at the Wiener Staatsoper. The inimitable Viennese “Schmäh” (wit) finds its fullest expression in the figure of the impoverished yet conceited Baron Ochs von Lerchenau. He is portrayed by the Austrian Bass Günther Groissböck, currently the finest singer of this role. No one suffers quite as dramatically as he does when he is ever so slightly n

März 2026 Obgleich eine der für viele wohl am meisten ersehnten Repertoire-Serien dieser Spielzeit, mit Anna Netrebko in ihrem Rollendebut als Abigaille an der Wiener Staatsoper, schien das Glück nicht ganz auf der Seite dieser Aufführungsreihe zu sein. Die erste Aufführung, in der Netrebko sich nicht in Bestform präsentierte, ihre sehr kurzfristige Absage der zweiten und eine ehrenhafte, aber möglicherweise indisponierte Einspringerin führten zu l

La Bohème, Giacomo Puccini Wiener Staatsoper, Wien 25.12.2025 On Christmas Day 2025, the Vienna State Opera chose to present its exquisite La Bohème by Puccini in Franco Zeffirelli's now-legendary staging. A classic La Bohème, full of poetic and inspiring imagery. That captivating and bustling Paris, seemingly lifted from Hugo's Les Misérables , or the visual power of the snow-covered Barrière d'Enfer behind a tulle curtain like the one Zeffirelli himself used in the final s

Madama Butterfly, Giacomo Puccini Vienna State Opera, Vienna December 5, 2025 The now-legendary Japanese-inspired staging created by the late Hollywood film director Anthony Minghella in 2008 has been revived at the Vienna State Opera since 2020 under the direction of Carolyn Choa, Minghella's widow. These days, we can see it with a new, stellar cast at the Viennese opera house. Giampaolo Bisanti makes the Vienna State Opera's extraordinary orchestra shine like never before.
