Great performance. Really recommended must visit in Vienna we watched Don Giovanni.
The Opera building is one of the most magnificent in Vienna. Even if you don’t go in, you have to see it.

We watched Simon Boccanegra which though not the most exciting of operas was enjoyable especially performed in such a beautiful opera house with good acoustics, and modern touches like individual screens for lyrics in several languages, as well as a good orchestra. The bar room was also very pretty, all in all very worth the visit.
I had the English speaking tour guide, it was absolutely fabulous, very informative and lots of interesting facts about the opera house and the history as well, please of times to ask questions and take photos, engaged really well with the audience. For me it was a great price buying tickets in advance and worth the 40 minutes tour.
We went and did the tour and really enjoyed it. We booked at the start of our trip online for later in the week. You can also go to the booking office 15 mins before the tour times and buy leftover tickets but these do sell out so, I'd recommend booking in advance online. Our tour guide was really friendly and engaging, telling us lots about the history of the building and answering any questions. We had a group of about 20 which was a good size. The tour took about 45 minutes.
Gorgeous architecture suitable to fit plenty of visitors. It is worth seeing and attending an event. If you buy las minute tickets for the seats on the far ends the visibility is very limited, you can enjoy the good music by the orchestra and the singers but not the full performance. There are cloak rooms on each floor, convenient buffet (food better be pre-ordered as there will be queues).
The building is a piece of art on its own. The halls were magnificent. Went on a Friday for a guided tour. We bought tickets at the door as it wasn't very busy. Had a total of 5 languages guided tours happening. English, German, Spanish, Italian and French. 25 people in each group. Though English guided tour had more people than rest guides, the wait wasn't long.
The state opera house speaks for itself, it’s a grandeur/magnificent architecture. To be in one of the show was fantastic “Don Pascale” Great show ever! I highly recommend this place to all tourists to come and watch their event or upcoming shows.
