Opera for all

Opera and ballet can also be followed outside the Vienna State Opera – live on a video wall. In April, May, June and September as well as around New Year's Eve, fans enjoy first-class performances free of charge in the open air on Karajan-Platz.

Opera means something to everyone in Vienna. You don't need an admission ticket to the Vienna State Opera to experience a great evening full of music and song. "Oper live am Platz" is held in April, May, June and September as well as around New Year's Eve - from 27 December to 1 January, including the broadcast of the Strauss opera Die Fledermaus on 31 December as part of the New Year's Eve Trail.

The Vienna State Opera broadcasts more than 80 performances live on a 50 m2 LED video wall each season. A director in the studio of the Vienna State Opera prepares an ideal edit using eight remote-controlled HD cameras.

Grand opera in the open air

The alternative to fighting over the hotly contested, low-price standing places in the Vienna State Opera every evening is to sit outside on Karajan-Platz in comfort and for free. 180 chairs are set up for each live broadcast. Information on the opera and the cast is provided on the video wall about half an hour before the performance begins.
