scroll downWelcome to the FAMILY OPERA!
Every year at Christmas time, music theater for young & all will take place on the big stage of the MusikTheater an der Wien.
The family opera focuses on stories that are familiar to all generations, with humor thrown in for good measure. Our productions offer first experiences with musical theater for children and sensual theater experiences for all.

FAMILY & FRIENDS WORKSHOPS
17. & 18. DEZEMBER 2022
Marvel, discover, experience. That's the motto of the various workshops on Amahl for young & old, which will take place throughout the MuseumsQuartier on the Family & Friends weekend. We will get to know the characters, the content and the music of the production Amahl und die nächtlichen Besucher from the most diverse perspectives. It should be colourful, sonorous and touching. It's hard to decide which workshop to take part in!
