Theater an der Wien

The Theater an der Wien opened in 1801 and has been converted several times since. Its "Papagentor" (Papageno Gate) in Millöckergasse shows the first manager of the theater and librettist of the "Magic Flute", Emanuel Schikaneder, in the role of Papageno. It was in the Theater an der Wien that Beethoven's "Fidelio" had its première in 1805, and dramas by Grillparzer, Nestroy and Raimund as well as numerous operettas by Strauss, Lehár and von Suppé were also first performed here.
