Raimund Theater, Ronacher, Theater an der Wien & Kammeroper
Our Theatres
Tradition meets innovation
Ronacher
Opened in 1872 as "Vienna City Theatre", the Ronacher has experienced a varied history – from a popular variety theatre to a temporary venue for the Burgtheater as well as an ORF studio. In 1987 the Vereinigten Bühnen Wien took over the house. After extensive renovations, it has been shining since 2008 as a modern venue for major musical productions, delighting audiences every evening with international success-shows as well as VBW's own hit-productions.
From small-town theatre to musical hotspot
Raimund Theatre
Opened in 1893 as a suburban theater and speaking stage for the general public, the Raimund Theater soon developed into a popular operetta venue with an international reputation. With its incorporation into the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien in 1987, it rose to become the premier address for major musical productions. Since then, the repertoire has been characterized by a balanced mix of well-known musical hits and VBW in-house productions.
Tradition meets modernity
Theater an der Wien
Built in 1801 by Emanuel Schikaneder, the Theater an der Wien experienced a series of historic premieres, including Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio. After decades as an operetta house, it served as a successful musical theatre stage from 1965 onwards. In 2006, it was reopened as the new opera house of the city of Vienna. Since then, under seasonal operation, music theater from baroque opera to modern works has been showcased with one premiere per month.
Intimate musical theatre & promoting young talent
Kammeroper
The Vienna Kammeroper on Fleischmarkt has been part of Vienna's cultural life since 1953. Since 2012, it has been operated by the Theater an der Wien, whose program has thus been supplemented by the intimate chamber opera repertoire. Here, the promotion of young talent is a top priority, providing young artists with valuable stage experience – initially through the founding of the Young Ensemble of the Theater an der Wien and currently through the CAMPUS program of the MusikTheater an der Wien.
