Schönbrunn Palace Theater

Description:

• A gem in a regal setting, this theater opened in 1749 for the entertainment of the court of Maria Theresa. The architecture is a medley of baroque and rococo, and there's a large, plush box where the imperial family sat to enjoy the shows. Operettas and comic operas are performed in July and August. A wide variety of different art groups, each responsible for its own ticket sales, perform here.
