The Vienna State Opera is the former Imperial Opera. Performances are very lavish. Swan Lake was fantastic! There were international ballet soloists. The opera orchestra consists of members of the Vienna Philharmonic, which was many times voted the best orchestra in the world. We had good seats and enjoyed a great evening!

Tickets for certain performances are bit of a problem. We found tickets for Swan Lake from www.concertvienna.com

If you cannot afford full price for an opera or ballet, queue for one of the 600 standing places – which will set you back two or four euros.

The Viennese Opera House is justly world famous, but costs a bomb and you must book some time in advance. Instead, do the student thing and queue for a Stehplatz, but you need good legs. Standing for 3 hours is good fun, but tiring.

In the 1st district, on the Ringstrasse (Ring Road), with a metro station of the same name.
