Raimund Theater Vienna: Musicals, Tickets & Visitor Tips

The Raimund Theater is a fixture of Vienna's cultural landscape and, since opening in 1893, has evolved from a classic drama stage into a leading musical theater. Named after the playwright Ferdinand Raimund, the theater has shown mainly musical productions since the 1980s and is run by the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien (United Stages of Vienna). With productions such as "Elisabeth," "Tanz der Vampire" (Dance of the Vampires) and current Broadway hits, it draws thousands of visitors every year.

After a comprehensive renovation completed in 2019, the theater is technically up to date without losing its historic charm. Visitors especially appreciate the good view from almost every seat and the wide range of food and drink in the spacious foyer.
