It was the first house on what was then the new ring road.<\/p>\n<p>The building was designed by the Viennese architects August von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der N\u00fcll. At the time, however, the building was heavily criticized by the public and was considered an architectural disaster, leading the sensitive van der N\u00fcll to commit suicide. Just two months later, Sicardsburg died of a heart attack, meaning that both architects did not live to see the completion of the building.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"t-1666262724454\">Inauguration with Don Giovanni by Mozart<\/h3>\n<p>The State Opera was inaugurated on May 25, 1869 with a premiere of Mozart&#8217;s &#8220;Don Giovanni&#8221;, in which the imperial couple Franz Joseph and Sisi also took part. The opera served as the Imperial Court Theater until the end of the monarchy in 1918.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the National Socialist era, there were numerous performance bans and members of the house were persecuted, expelled and murdered. On March 12, 1945, shortly before the end of the Second World War, the building was severely damaged by bombardment. The opera house was rebuilt from 1948 to 1955.<\/p>\n<p>The Vienna State Opera has borne its current name since its glamorous reopening on November 5, 1955 with Beethoven&#8217;s &#8220;Fidelio&#8221;. Over the years, the Vienna State has been the scene of countless premieres and famous performances, in which stars of the opera scene regularly appear.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Vienna State Opera is one of the leading and most important opera houses in the world and a cultural landmark in Vienna.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"t-1666262724455\">Contact<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Address:<\/strong> Opernring 2, 1010 Vienna<\/li>\n<li><strong>Subway<\/strong> : U1, U2, U4 Karlsplatz<\/li>\n<li><strong>Website<\/strong> : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiener-staatsoper.at\/\" style=\"outline: none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.wiener-staatsoper.at\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vienna State Opera is one of the most important opera houses in the world and a landmark in Vienna.

State Opera was built between 1863 and 1896 as the successor to the Vienna Court Opera. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It was the first house on what was then the new ring road.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The building was designed by the Viennese architects August von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der N\u00fcll. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">At the time, however, the building was heavily criticized by the public and was considered an architectural disaster, leading the sensitive van der N\u00fcll to commit suicide. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Just two months later, Sicardsburg died of a heart attack, meaning that both architects did not live to see the completion of the building.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"\" id=\"t-1666262724454\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Inauguration with Don Giovanni by Mozart<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The State Opera was inaugurated on May 25, 1869 with a premiere of Mozart's \"Don Giovanni\", in which the imperial couple Franz Joseph and Sisi also took part. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The opera served as the Imperial Court Theater until the end of the monarchy in 1918.&nbsp;<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">During the National Socialist era, there were numerous performance bans and members of the house were persecuted, expelled and murdered. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On March 12, 1945, shortly before the end of the Second World War, the building was severely damaged by bombardment. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The opera house was rebuilt from 1948 to 1955.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Vienna State Opera has borne its current name since its glamorous reopening on November 5, 1955 with Beethoven's \"Fidelio\". <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Over the years, the Vienna State has been the scene of countless premieres and famous performances, in which stars of the opera scene regularly appear.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Today, the Vienna State Opera is one of the leading and most important opera houses in
