Sunday 20. September 2026 11:00 – 12:30 No intermissions Main Stage

Introductory matinees before opera and ballet premieres are of particular interest to audiences: In around 90 minutes, the work and the new production are explored, the composer, choreographer and the background to the work are discussed, interpretative approaches are explained and both scenic and musical aspects are analyzed. Of course, there are always musical contributions (and dance contributions in ballet matinees) that illuminate important themes of the work from a special perspective. The matinees are recorded and made available on the Vienna State Opera's YouTube channel so that a wide audience can "rewatch" the event. Introductory matinees to operas are hosted by State Opera Director Bogdan Rošcic.

Tickets for standing room can be purchased online or at the Bundestheater box office from 10 am on the day of the performance. BundestheaterCard holders can book standing room tickets online the day before the performance.

In addition, a fixed contingent of standing room tickets is available for regular evening performances from 80 minutes before the start of the performance at our standing room box office (Operngasse entrance).

The language of the event is indicated under the title. The event may also include segments in other languages, but these will be translated in most cases.

There are no subtitles for this event via our subtitling systems at each seat.

In the event of a change of performance, you can of course return or exchange your tickets.

As changes to the cast cannot be ruled out due to illnesses or other hindrances of artists, there is no entitlement to a refund of the ticket price or exchange in this case.

Tickets cannot be returned or exchanged in the event of non-admission to the auditorium due to late arrival (even after the interval).
