Opera in Vienna

The Vienna State Opera House was opened in 1869 in the presence of Kaiser Franz Joseph and Kaiserin Elisabeth. The first opera performed was ‚Don Juan‘ by Mozart. In 1945 the opera house was destroyed by a bomb, but it was reopened in 1955 with a performance of Beethoven's ‚Fidelio‘. Today, the Vienna State Opera is one of the most important opera houses in the world. The Vienna State Opera House is home to the State Ballet, and it is televised yearly for the New Year's concert.
