The theater was built from 1874 to 1888 according to designs by Gottfried Semper and Karl von Hasenauer.

Ever since 1776, when Emperor Joseph II founded the Court and National Theater, the institution preceding the present-day Burgtheater, this theater, with its distinguished company, has held a leading position in the dramatic arts of the German-speaking countries.
