Working at the VEREINIGTE BÜHNEN WIEN – More than just a job
WELCOME TO THE TEAM!
We inspire people!
With our different professional roles, we contribute every day to raising the curtain and inspiring our audience to applaud enthusiastically – and that is exactly what makes our work so special.
We are an important employer in Vienna's cultural landscape and attach great importance to an open, positive and collegial environment and good working conditions.
Many roles – one passion
Theatre as a workplace
Red velvet, golden stucco – our historic theatres exude a special kind of beauty. Whether in front of the stage, behind the scenes or in the auditorium, the unique theatre atmosphere creates a magical atmosphere that touches not only the audience but also our employees.
Corporate culture
We are a colourful mix of creative minds, performers, technicians, colleagues from audience services, costume and make-up departments, and commercial specialists. Everyone contributes their talents and we all pull together. We achieve this with a humane, open working atmosphere, a culture of informality, helpfulness and active teamwork.
Atmosphere
A workplace with atmosphere
Red velvet, golden stucco – our historic theatres exude a special beauty. Whether in front of the stage, behind the scenes or in the auditorium, the unique theatre atmosphere creates a magical atmosphere that touches not only the audience but also us employees.
Applause
When the curtain falls every day and the audience bursts into applause, we feel that we have done an excellent job both on and off stage, and that makes us particularly proud! It is a unique feeling to inspire hundreds of thousands of people every year with our opera and musical productions.
Lovable Vienna
We work where others like to holiday.
Vienna is a blend of diverse cultural offerings, magnificent architecture and the proverbial Viennese cosiness. The much-praised Danube, the Danube Island and the Vienna Prater form a central recreational area in the middle of the city.
