SEASON 26/27

Ladies and Gentlemen,

On 13 June 1801, the newly built Theater an der Wien opened its doors. We want to celebrate the 225-year existence of this historic venue and its importance for the development of musical theatre with a programme which – despite the cuts in our budget – features a wide variety of era-defining masterpieces, new works and rediscoveries. Together, they demonstrate not just the historic continuity and diversity of this unique art form, but also the optimistic view people have of its beauty, necessity and power to survive.

PROGRAMME PRESENTATION

During an evening that was both informative and entertaining, Artistic Director Stefan Herheim, together with dramaturgs Christian Schröder and Kai Weßler, presented the programme for the coming season.

For all those who could not attend the presentation on site or via livestream, here the video to watch:
