The duration of the performance and the number of intermissions will be published on the respective production page approximately one week before the premiere or event.
Children under the age of three are not permitted to attend our performances - even if accompanied by a parent or guardian or other adult - for their own safety (due to volume, duration of performances, etc.). Depending on the type and programme of the events, Vereinigte Bühnen Wien GesmbH reserves the right to change the admission age for selected events, taking into account health criteria and the developmental phase of small children.
Every year at Christmas time, starting with the 22/23 season, music theatre for young & all will now take place on the main stage of the Theater an der Wien. These performances are explicitly recommended for children aged 6 and over. Details on the family opera at the Theater an der Wien can be found in the programme.
For safety reasons, children are not permitted to sit on laps. Theatre-goers must have their own ticket and their own seat.
The buffet at the Theater an der Wien is open for you before the performance and during the intermission in the Himmel and in the foyers in the ranks.
To avoid waiting times, you can place your order before the performance: either on the premises or in advance ( up to 3 pm on the day of the performance) via e-mail to kulturcatering.wien@don.at.
You can find the drinks and snack menu here.
