“Generosity is the essence of friendship,” said Oscar Wilde. For Stefan Herheim, a globally celebrated opera director and artistic director of the MusikTheater an der Wien, generosity is the most important prerequisite for successful opera, and friendship its most important product!
Become a Friend of the MusikTheater an der Wien and part of a community that supports, fosters and celebrates this art form that knows no bounds.
The community attaches great importance to an all-inclusive experience of musical theatre and supports this through the cultural education programme of the MusikTheater an der Wien. As a friend of the MusikTheater an der Wien you not only make a vital contribution to passing on the fascination of opera and our work to future generations, but also have a close connection to us and our two historic venues. Together we take a look behind the scenes to gain valuable insights into the creative process.
With the Circle of Friends to the costume store
Doris Maria Aigner and Simone Walgram opened the doors to the costume store for the first time! The treasures of the productions, which are used again and again, are stored in the centre of the city and met with great interest among our members... we'll be back!
Together we experience:
- artist talks
- exclusive guided tours
- Visits to dress rehearsals
- Free visits to introductory matinees
- Insights into the partner organisations
- Participation in the programme presentation
- And much more!
The circle of our friends continues to grow, and we can already look back on many events and special moments that we shared together. We have already come up with numerous highlights for you in the 24/25 season – you have plenty to look forward to!
Tour of the Theater an der Wien
Our exclusive tour of the Theater an der Wien gave our friends their first opportunity to get a general idea of the extent of the comprehensive refurbishment taking place in the historic building on Naschmarkt. Architect Franziska Graber and artistic director Stefan Herheim accompanied the group of friends around the building site. A lively discussion ensued during the “building site picnic” that rounded the tour off.
The Circle of Friends will be kept constantly up-to-date with the progress being made: See for yourself!
