The Theater an der Wien is one of the most beautiful and historic theatres in Vienna. Built in 1801 in keeping with the spirit of Mozart by the composer's librettist Emanuel Schikaneder, it has seen numerous performances of historical significance, including Beethoven's sole opera, Fidelio. The theatre has been casting its spell for over two centuries now thanks to its exceptional acoustics and its authentic, intimate atmosphere. In 2015, the Theater an der Wien began its tenth season. Director Roland Geyer says of the theatre's successful strategy: "Since 2006, the Theater an der Wien has shown hundreds of new opera productions and enjoys an excellent reputation at home and abroad as a producer of first-class music theatre projects and one of Europe's foremost stagione opera houses."
