Volksoper Wien

Watched Hansel and Gretel opera at Volksoper Wien. The opera was ok. The theatre is nice although it's a bit far from the city centre. It's mandatory to leave coat at the storage area, and they charged 1 Euro for it... not exactly patron-friendly.

I encourage you to go to this theatre. It is a beautiful old building with wonderful acoustics. We saw My Fairlady which had amazing costumes. A must when in Vienna

Fantastic experience, die Fledermouse were great operetta performance. Very classy evening.

The opera was good, I was at Zauberflöte, the staging was interesting and the signing was very good, particularly the Königing der Nacht Aria, though the theatre itself is a bit narrow and overcrowded in intermissions on the upper floors, and cards are not accepted, need to have cash if you want a drink in the intermission

Such a lovely experience! We went to see The Sound Of Music. The cast was super talented and the production is so extra! It's such an amazing show for the value, in a beautiful theater. Would go again for sure.

The Volksoper is a Viennese institution. Smaller and less flashy than the state opera on the Ring, this house presents excellent quality performances at a fraction of the cost. I have been 4-5 times in the past two seasons and really enjoy it. Comfortable seats. Very reasonably priced boxes. Good views from everywhere and fun old school bars during intermission. Worth a visit or three.

Saw Die Fledermaus. Apparently the place is run by Leftards, who of course hate anything beautiful and try to destroy it. Not to be confused with the Staatsoper, which is elsewhere. Fortunately the Music of Mozart is resistant and was performed superbly despite the risible staging. They force you to hand over your coat, and then charge for the privilege, which somehow just seems typical of the bullying lefty mindset; they lack humour and will not understand that the joke is on them. Don't ever let these people ever run anything really important, like a Government.

While it may not live up to the vienna state opera, it's still a place worth visiting. The opera is high quality and tickets are more reasonably priced. The staff was very friendly and allowed us in (during applauses) even though we were a bit late, although on the ticket it's stated that you're only allowed in during intermission if you're late.
