Opera tickets in Vienna: where to book

For Vienna State Opera tickets, book with the opera house itself: we do not sell Staatsoper tickets. The alternatives available here are Vienna concerts featuring vocal performances, rather than complete opera productions.

Vienna State Opera tickets: book with the opera house

The Staatsoper’s own website is the place to find its programme, read the booking information and buy tickets.

This site, vienna-concerts.net, is an independent affiliate website run by Web Maremma. Its concert booking links lead to Tiqets; Staatsoper tickets are not sold there.

Bookable alternatives: concerts with voices or ballet

If you prefer a concert to an opera-house performance, these three options feature voices alongside the music. The Old Stock Exchange listing includes ballet, the House of Strauss specifies a soprano, and Schönbrunn lists vocal performances.

  • Old Stock Exchange: a listed 90-minute programme of Mozart and Johann Strauss, performed by the Vienna Residence Orchestra with opera vocals and ballet.
  • House of Strauss: a listed 90-minute concert with orchestra and soprano, plus museum admission and a glass of sparkling wine. Museum access begins 90 minutes before the concert.
  • Schönbrunn Orangerie: a listed 105-minute concert of Mozart and Johann Strauss, featuring opera arias and duets as well as operetta arias, waltzes and polkas.

Frequently asked questions

Does this website sell Vienna State Opera tickets?

No. Buy Staatsoper tickets from the opera house itself. Our booking links take you to Tiqets for separate concert products.

Will I see a complete opera at these concerts?

No: these are classical concert programmes featuring vocal performances. At the Old Stock Exchange, the concert also features ballet.

Where is ballet included in the programme?

The Old Stock Exchange listing includes both ballet and opera vocals. The supplied Tiqets listings for the House of Strauss and Schönbrunn Orangerie do not specify ballet.

Which music does the Schönbrunn programme include?

Alongside operetta arias, waltzes and polkas, the programme lists overtures, arias and duets from Mozart operas. Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte and Don Giovanni are among the named works.

When should I get to the venue?

According to Tiqets, arrive 30 minutes before the Old Stock Exchange or House of Strauss concert, and 15 minutes before the Schönbrunn concert. If you plan to visit the House of Strauss museum, it opens 90 minutes before the performance.

Is a printed ticket required?

The instructions for the Old Stock Exchange and House of Strauss expressly allow mobile or smartphone tickets. At Schönbrunn, the instruction is to present your entrance ticket to the employee at the Orangerie entrance.

What are the cancellation and rescheduling terms?

Each of the three listings offers free cancellation with a full refund until 24 hours before the visit date or booked timeslot, according to the product’s wording. Rescheduling is possible until the stated 24-hour deadline too.

Choose by format, programme and what the ticket includes

A complete staged opera and a concert with singers are different formats. For a Staatsoper performance, use the opera house’s website directly. The three bookable alternatives here all bring together orchestral music and voices; ballet is included only in the Old Stock Exchange listing.

For opera vocals and ballet in one programme, the Old Stock Exchange offers a concert by the Vienna Residence Orchestra in its ballroom. Mozart and Johann Strauss are central to the product, and the description also names Vivaldi and Beethoven. Its listed running time is 90 minutes.

The Old Stock Exchange ticket covers admission to the concert with ballet, but not drinks. Seats are not assigned: staff on the evening guide you to your seat. Tiqets recommends smart-casual clothing and arrival 30 minutes before the start; present your mobile ticket to staff on arrival.

For a museum visit as well as a performance, the House of Strauss includes museum entry and a glass of sparkling wine with its concert. The museum opens 90 minutes before the performance, so leave time beforehand to visit. The concert is held in the Strauss Hall of 1837, where members of the Strauss family once performed.

The House of Strauss programme features an orchestra and soprano performing works by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Strauss. During the concert, a visual presentation and light show recount the history of the Strauss dynasty.

For Mozart opera excerpts alongside Strauss music, consider the Palace Orchestra at Schönbrunn. The listing names overtures, arias and duets from Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte and Don Giovanni, together with operetta arias, waltzes and polkas. It specifies vocal performances, but does not list ballet.

Allow for Schönbrunn’s listed 105-minute duration and arrive 15 minutes before the start. On certain dates, the venue may change from the Orangerie to the palace’s Great Gallery or White-and-Gold Room.

To compare these options with other concerts, see our Mozart & Strauss guide or the Vienna concerts hub.
