Vienna State Opera - IV

Here is another room for social functions.

Vienna State Opera - III

The curious thing about this opera house it that it has a narrowly defined repertoire of operas from a certain period (very roughly before 1900...ie. during the Austrian Empire) all written by composers who were from or spent a lot of time in Vienna. It also only considers compositions of a serious nature except for one...Der Fledermaus by Strauss is the only operetta.

VIenna State Opera - II

Lots of gold and red decorate this hallway. The splashes of azure in the inset paintings really adds a sparkle to the scene.

Since we are in VIenna out of season, the only way to see the Vienna Opera House is on a tour. Probably cheaper anyway. As you might expect, it is a fancy place with lots of gold brightening the walls.
