The Vienna State Opera is one of the largest opera houses in the world, known as the "World Opera Center". Here you can experience beautiful performances by composers, conductors, soloists and dancers. Historical Background The Vienna State Opera was built in 1869. Its predecessor was the wooden box theater in Vienna Castle Square in the 17th century. In 1869, it was moved to the ring street in the urban area. In 1918, the Palace Theatre became a state-owned enterprise, called the National Opera House. Take a guided tour of the Vienna State Opera with a quaint appearance and a majestic Romanesque building. When you enter, you can find that the front hall and the side hall are made of marble, and the interior is painted with exquisite murals and hung with photos of great musicians and famous actors. Entering the stage area, you can see the audience seats on the 6th floor with more than 1,600 seats. The entire stage has been completely modernized, equipped with advanced audio equipment, with very good sound and color effects. Famous musicians perform here Musicians, directors and stylists all make it an artistic pleasure to present their work in front of the savvy and discerning Viennese audience. Famous musicians such as Mahler (1897-1907), Richard Strauss (1919-1924), Karajan (1956-1964) and Abbado (1986-1991) have all performed in the opera house.
