Wiener Staatsoper is one of the oldest opera houses in the world, where you can enjoy a wide variety of operas. Nearly 60 operas and 20 ballets are staged at the Vienna State Opera 300 days a year. The State Opera was one of the first luxury buildings on the Ringstrasse, completed between 1863 and 1869, and was originally intended by architects Sicard and Nur as a court opera house.

With his poetic and conceptual works, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone (* 1964) creates meditative imagery into which visitors are immediately drawn. His minimalist sculpture arched landscape, an earth-covered archway, is simultaneously an object, architectural form and reference to art history and makes diverse references to the historical ceiling fresco in the Carlone Hall, in which false architecture plays a central role.

Artist and artisan, art theorist and proto-installation artist, master of high-publicity performances and rival of Auguste Rodin, Medardo Rosso (b. 1858 in Turin, d. 1928 in Milan) was one of the great pioneers of modernism. mumok is dedicating a comprehensive retrospective to the Italian-French artist’s still little-known oeuvre, which will feature about fifty sculptures and a large selection of photographs, photocollages, and drawings. The exhibition delves into a thorough analysis of Rosso's processual and repetitive and radical anti-heroic approach, with which the artist defied all conventions of traditional sculpture. A selection of works by artists directly or indirectly influenced by Rosso — such as Francis Bacon, Nairy Baghramian, Phyllida Barlow, Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brâncuși, Edgar Degas, Alberto Giacometti, David Hammons, Eva Hesse, Marisa Merz, Robert Morris and Andy Warhol — further unpack and create a dialogue with Rosso’s equally groundbreaking and hermetic work. The “expanded” retrospective thus adheres to Rosso’s own artistic practice of not exhibiting alone but in “conversation” with others. The exhibition, which is being organized in close collaboration with the Medardo Rosso Estate, will subsequently travel to Kunstmuseum Basel, where it will be on view from March to August 2025.

Galerie Kandlhofer presents Bellaboteurs, the third solo exhibition of Alicia Viebrock (b. 1986, Munich) at the gallery.

Yaya Yajie Liang's work explores the metamorphosis of the body and the potential of 'becoming animal'. From the legendary banished beast to the interpenetration of biological space, Liang interrogates how men's analogic mapping to and from animals (within imagined, lived, or taxonomic intimacies) helps us to reconsider the prescribed definition of 'humanity'. Taking inspiration from Agential Realism, Liang views painting as a movement that is constantly repeating the 'becoming'. Shifting restlessly between abstract and figurative modes, she uses improvisation to kick-start new paintings, allowing unplanned initial strokes to help dictate the works' subsequent direction.

The Musikverein was inaugurated by Emperor Franz Joseph in 1870. Since then the Golden Hall in the Musikverein is known by friends of music all over the world, not only because of the annual worldwide broadcast of New Year’s Concert by the Vienna Philharmonics, but also for being permanent seat of the Vienna Philharmonics and main stage of the Vienna Mozart Orchestra. The Golden Hall fascinates the concert guests being a unique architectonic and acoustic master piece.
