The door to 'Guided Tours' of the Opera House is on the corner of Opernring and Operngasse and touts abound there. Save your money AND the hassle and book online. Tours are offered in various languag… Full review by 945martynt

Saw Don Carlo opera. New production and absolutely terrible. Verdi would have died again! They ruined everything about this production--- the sets, costumes, story-- all (profanity removed)ized. … Full review by barrett333

We took a tour of the Vienna State opera House, quite a spectacular building, but the tour was very rushed. There wasn’t time to ask questions during the tour as there was another group behind, and w… Full review by L7916PJkarenb

Q:
I am planning to buy the Vienna pass, which allows me to enter the state opera house for free. However, I still need to reserve a spot for a guided tour to be able to enter. But when I go to the Vienna state opera house website to reserve, all the options for the tickets are paid ones, and I cannot seem to find a place where I can tick that I have the Vienna pass and should get these tickets for free. Any help is appreciated.

Q:
Hello, I just made a booking for the Vienna State opera for the 26th March 2020 for Tosca and I booked directly on the Sate opera site, according to advice that using agencies would be more expensive. However, I see that I have not booked confirmed tickets, but reserved for a particular price range in particular seating areas. The booking states that actual tickets will be allocated in the price range should they become available. Is this more or less a formality (that they become available) or is there a high chance that I will not actually get tickets due to non-availability? How could I improve my chances of actually getting tickets allocated? Or is it possible to buy confirmed tickets straight away, as I did not see such an option on the State opera site? Many thanks, Andris

When I booked online (also to save fees) I got the precise seats at the time of booking. I was also charged right away. >>> Same here. Note: you'll need to go to the box office and exchange the certificates for actual tickets in paper. They look quite fancy, go well as souvenirs :) I bought booklets with the history of the performance in the box office, too, about 5 euro. I suggest you contact the box office directly, there are very helpful ladies there.
Q:
How are opera tickets delivered if ordered online

I always dress decently for the theatre, no matter which seats - and I mostly can afford no more than the gallery. I did the same now, too - back home just 2 days. And this is what've got to say: For Wien Staatsoper - Dr.Martens boots, jeans, sweatshirts, whatever. If you look as a pauper, no one cares. But if you dress properly - and obviously, have to change your theatre shoes back into winter footwear after the performance, put on a woolen sweater over your silken blouse before you - then you have a problem. The personnel have very strange idea of what hospitality and service is, they will nag you and chase you out into the street in rain and wind. So the wise thing is to sit through 3 - 4 acts in your street clothes, if you can possibly do so. I personnaly can't, which means I'll stay away from this unfriendly place. Hate to say all that but they really had it coming.

Does anyone have any advice as far as the Row 17 seat 6 and 7 in Parkett Links section of the floor seating? Is the view good? will I struggle being petite?

Anything is a clear view except stay away from 2nd level, left or right side. We were about 6 rows back in balcony center and was good. People on sides all had to lean over to see …

Anything is a clear view except stay away from 2nd level, left or right side. We were about 6 rows back in balcony center and was good. People on sides all had to lean over to see even in first row if on the side. Was a great concert!
