The introductory matinees on Sunday mornings before a premiere at the Vienna State Opera are part of the Vienna State Ballet's regular program. They provide a variety of insights into the process of creating a ballet and working with the dancers.

The event will be held in German and English.

The introductory matinee is free of charge for subscribers, newsletter recipients, the U27 audience and members of the Friends of the Vienna State Ballet.

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).

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