After "Don Carlo", "Fin de Partie" and "Die Zauberflöte", a new "Norma" is also being staged at the Vienna State Opera. In the introductory matinee to the premiere, State Opera Director Bogdan Roscic welcomes artists from the production and introduces the work and the new production. The audience will gain an insight into the artistic production process, enabling them to understand the Staatsoper performances even better and enjoy them even more. Musical contributions round off the event.

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

Tickets for our 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).

Our operas are sung in the original languages - these vary depending on the work.

At each seat, subtitles in different languages can be switched on or off via a separate subtitle screen. In addition to the original language of the opera, you can choose from up to eight languages: German, English, Italian, French, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin).

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