The Vienna State Opera
The Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper), located in Vienna, Austria, is one of the most important opera houses - and opera companies - in the world. The members of the equally prestigious Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from the orchestra at the Staatsoper. The building was the first major building on the Wiener Ringstraße commissioned by the controversial Viennese “city expansion fund”. Work commenced on the building in 1861 and was completed in 1869, following plans drawn up by architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll, who lived together in the 6. Bezirk. It was built in the Neo-Renaissance style. Vienna is great tourist location, with historical attractions.
