About
Hurtige fakta: Duften af gammelt teaterstøv og bløde fløjlsæder møder dig i foyeren, mens lysekronernes varme skær kaster skygger over marmorsøjlerne. Scenen rummer ofte flere hundrede forestillinger om året, og mange af landets mest kendte skuespillere har haft deres gennembrud her.
Højdepunkter: Bygningen blev tegnet af de berømte wienerarkitekter Hermann Helmer og Ferdinand Fellner og indviet i 1907, og bag den klassiske facade kaster en enorm lysekrone et varmt, gyldent skær over poleret træ og fløjl. På premiereaftener vender ældre skuespillere tit tilbage for at banke blidt på scenedøren og hviske held og lykke til de unge, en lille, uofficiel tradition som får salen til at summe af fortrolighed og latter.
Insider tips
- Wear smart casual, the atmosphere is formal but not strict and comfortable shoes help for the stairs.
- Photograph the ornate façade and rooftop statues from the square in front for the best composition.
- Arrive 20-30 minutes before curtain to explore the marble foyer and pick the best unreserved seats if applicable.
- Use the upper circle for panoramic stage views and lower-cost seating, avoid late-season weekend premieres to dodge sold-out performances.
