Introduction
The Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) is a landmark cultural temple in Vienna's Innere Stadt, opened in 1869 with Mozart's Don Giovanni and a masterpiece of Neo-Renaissance style. Its gilded façade and horseshoe auditorium seating over two thousand, together with a world-leading orchestra and singers, keep it among the most important opera houses on earth. It stages opera and is a source of the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert tradition. Even without a seat, you can queue for inexpensive standing tickets or join a backstage tour of the gilded halls, stage machinery and century-old curtains. At night, lit up, it remains the brightest heart of the 'city of music.'
