Vienna - City of Culture

Vienna's cultural life is multi-faceted. You have the choice of 50 theatres, four opera houses, two stages for musicals, 100 museums and numerous theatre, music and dance festivals. The Museumsquartier (museum quarter) with its baroque facade is home to one of the biggest cultural districts in Europe. Vienna is known worldwide as a city of music. Quality orchestras and ensembles are its seal of excellence. Along with well-established ensembles for contemporary music classical music continues to play a vital role, as made evident by the City of Vienna Concert Orchestra and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, amongst others. The Vienna Academy, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and the Women's Chamber Orchestra are dedicated to tradition and modern music alike. International artists are a great gain to cultural life in Vienna. During the summer months the Vienna Film Festival on the Rathausplatz in front of the City Hall attracts music lovers from all corners of the world. The City Hall provides a perfect backdrop for classical music performances and an international culinary experience along the many food stands there.
Apart from the federal theatres and the Vereinigte Bühnen there are many small, private theatres in Vienna. Numerous theatre ensembles perform in old factory buildings or on public squares. A theatre for young people between two and 20 was established in the Museumsquartier in autumn 2004.
