Opera, Concerts & Culture in Vienna
Vienna is, without exaggerating, the cultural and musical capital not only of Europe but also of the world. Not for nothing is the Vienna State Opera, one of the most important opera houses in the world, situated in Austria’s capital. Not to mention the “Burgtheater” Theatre, the “Wiener Musikverein” Association of Music and the “Wiener Konzerthaus” Concert Hall which count as the most significant venues for classical orchestral music worldwide.
With the Hotel Sacher Vienna you choose the best possible staring point for a cultural stay in Vienna. The Vienna State Opera is situated directly next to the Sacher. The “Burgtheater” Theatre is within easy walking distance and the “Wiener Musikverein” Association of Music is literally around the corner on the “Karlsplatz” square. It is here that the Vienna Philharmonic gives its New Year’s Concert on the first of January, viewed on television by more than a billion people every year.
There are three opera houses in Vienna, along with the Vienna State Opera and the “Volksoper” Vienna Peoples Opera, there is also the “Theater an der Wien” Theatre on the Wien River, founded by the once legendary Emmanuel Schikaneder, only 10 minutes walking distance from the Hotel Sacher. The same goes for the “Burgtheater” Theatre, one of the largest theatrical stages in the German-speaking sphere. You will see that there is nowhere else in the world that can boast such a density of cultural institutions of such significance – and the Hotel Sacher is situated centre stage.
If you have any questions concerning current concerts, operatic or theatrical productions, the concierge team of the Hotel Sacher would be delighted to help. Current information on the range of cultural events in Vienna can also be found on the website of the “Wiener Tourismuswerbung” Vienna Tourist Board at www.wien.info.
