Experience great opera and ballet at home – worldwide and for free!
Like almost all major opera houses and concert halls the world around, Vienna State Opera had to cancel all performances up to April 2, 2020. Great restrictions in private and public life are to be expected.
In this difficult situation, Vienna State Opera is now opening its livestream archives, so that music lovers all over the world will still be able to enjoy opera and ballet. Starting on Sunday, 15 March 2020, Wiener Staatsoper will broadcast recordings of previous opera and ballet performances daily via its streaming platform www.staatsoperlive.com – worldwide and free of charge. This online programme will even follow the originally planned schedule at the house, with a few exceptions only. Streams start at 7 p.m. or 5 p.m. CET respectively (for Die Walküre, Siegfried, Götterdämmerung) and remain available for 24 hours.
At your home, enjoy top-class performances with renowned singers and great conductors in different casts. The programme includes the complete Ring tetralogy under the baton of Adam Fischer, Simon Rattle and Axel Kober with Tomasz Konieczny (Wotan/Wanderer), Stephen Gould (Siegfried), Evelyn Herlitzius and Iréne Theorin (Brünnhilde); two evenings of Falstaff under James Conlon and Zubin Mehta with Carlos Álvarez and Ambrogio Maestri in the title role, Simon Keenlyside and Ludovic Tézier as Ford; three different casts in Tosca performances, Tri Sestri, Roméo et Juliette with Juan Diego Flórez and Aida Garifullina in the title roles, the anniversary production of Die Frau ohne Schatten under Christian Thielemann with Stephen Gould (Kaiser), Camilla Nylund (Kaiserin), Wolfgang Koch (Barak), Nina Stemme (Färberin) and Evelyn Herlitzius (Amme) as well as the ballet Peer Gynt.
