Wiener Kammerspiele

The Wiener Kammerspiele is a theatre in Vienna's city center with approximately 394 seats dedicated to contemporary productions. The program ranges from modern plays to musical adaptations that run throughout the entire theatrical season.

The building was designed in 1910 by architects Franz von Kraus and Josef Tolks as part of Vienna's architectural development in that era. A comprehensive renovation in the 2010s fundamentally modernized the theatre's infrastructure.

The theatre has shifted over time from classical comedies to contemporary works, presenting adaptations of novels by Austrian and international playwrights. Visitors experience a mix of established and emerging artists who shape the program with variety and immediacy.

The theatre sits in central Vienna and features wheelchair access with elevators leading to seating areas. Regular performances allow flexible visit times, and after many shows you have opportunities to speak with performers.

The theatre brings together television and film actors with cabaret performers on stage, creating an unusual mix of worlds. This unconventional casting practice gives many productions a distinctive energy and strong entertainment value.
