Splendor and darkness
Bourgeoisie in the living room, excess in the ballroom. The operetta Die Fledermaus is colorful and glittering until Viennese society drops the facade. Vienna and its aristocratic society are less colorful but by no means less glamorous in the shimmering silver production of Der Rosenkavalier, also directed by Barrie Kosky. Things get darker in Giuseppe Verdi's Don Carlo. Suppressed by the Spanish Inquisition, the flame of freedom faces the threat of the funeral pyre, the only fires that light up Jürgen Rose's stage.

A game of hide and seek
A masked ball, an escape into the desert and a duke who pretends to be a simple peasant. The three works Un ballo in maschera by Giuseppe Verdi, Manon Lescaut by Giacomo Puccini and the ballet Giselle revolve around three couples whose love does not conform to social norms, but who nevertheless stick together.

Sun, 20.4.25 | opera | Manon Lescaut |
Sun, 11.5.25 | ballet | Giselle |

Around the world and through the ages
In these three performances, you will immerse yourself in the past, all the way back to the 16th century, and travel to different countries on stage. Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly takes you to Japan to meet a very contrasting couple. The touching love story of a geisha and an American naval officer takes a tragic turn here. Don Carlo by composer Giuseppe Verdi is set in Spain at the time of the Inquisition. The relentless rule of church and state is juxtaposed with repressed love. And with the story ballet La Sylphide, choreographed by Pierre Lacotte, you travel to the Scottish Highlands, where you make the acquaintance of the local mythical creatures.
Sat, 5.4.25 | opera | Madama Butterfly |
Sat, 10.5.25 | ballet | Don Carlo |
Sat, 14.6.25 | ballet | La Sylphide |

The great love
In these three classics of ballet history, everything revolves around one great theme: love. While in Peter Wright's Giselle a young peasant girl falls into madness out of desperate longing, the young Romeo and Juliet are torn apart by a family feud. John Cranko's Onegin leads to a dramatic ending with a goosebump-inducing feeling when true love is realized too late.
Sun, 9.2.25 | opera | Madama Butterfly |
Sat, 3.5.25 | ballet | Onegin |
Fri, 20.6.25 | ballet | Romeo und Julia |

New Times
With this gift subscription, you can experience the full diversity of contemporary choreography on three evenings of ballet. The triple bill by choreographers Nacho Duato, Andrew Skeels and Sharon Eyal revolves around various forms of escape from the world: from drug intoxication and hypnotic dance to futuristic dystopia. Butterfly by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot expresses deep human emotions with its unmistakable dance language. The duo will also curate the third edition of the contemporary ballet evening Spheres, which brings works by up-and-coming choreographers to the stage for the first time.
Sun, 2.225 | ballet | Duato/Skeels/Eyal |
Fri, 28.2.25 | ballet | Schmetterling |
Sun, 27.6.25 | ballet | Sphären.03 |
