Vienna State Opera, located on the Ringstrasse in the heart of Vienna, is one of the world's most renowned opera houses and a major symbol of Vienna. Built in 1869, its inaugural performance was Mozart's "Don Giovanni," and it quickly became the center of the opera world, earning the nickname "the world's opera capital."
The State Opera is a grand neoclassical building constructed with yellow marble. It features five arches on the main entrance, each representing heroism, drama, imagination, art, and love, with bronze statues of the five opera goddesses.
Spanning 9,000 square meters, the opera house has 6 tiers of seating. The walls of the foyers and corridors are adorned with magnificent oil paintings depicting scenes from the most famous works of celebrated composers, including Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," "The Magic Flute," and "Don Giovanni," Beethoven's "Fidelio," Rossini's "The Barber of Seville," and more.
During World War II, the stage of the Vienna State Opera was destroyed by Allied bombing, and in 1945, the entire building was consumed by fire. The opera house we see today is a reconstruction, completed in 1955 with over 2,200 seats, and it premiered with Beethoven's "Fidelio" conducted by Karl Böhm on November 5th.
