The Wiener Staatsoper, is selling standing tickets for 3 euro. That is indeed very cheap! So, if youre going for it, be sure to stand in line at aprox 2 hours before start of opera. There is a number on your ticket, but it does not mean anything, because they sell alot more tickets, than there are standing-spots. Be sure... More

We enjoyed an opera there and it was within walking distance of the Marriott hotel where we were staying. Interior is very refined and splendifierous .

The tour gave a good overview- but I am not into opera. However, the logistics behind staging a show was interesting to learn. The interior of the opera house was beautiful.

I have done this now - five times! Supposedly when the opera was built, the King, said, lets allow the poor to always be able to... More

Be Viennese for the evening and dress up in your finest and go to the Opera! You could tell the locals from the tourist. The locals take Opera serious and were dressed to the nines! Biggest tip; plan early so you don't get clubbed for last minute tickets, like we did! Get a box seat and pretend you've traveled back... More
