Leopoldstädter Theater, Opera house in Leopoldstadt, Austria.

The Leopoldstädter Theater featured a grand stage that accommodated diverse performances, from classical opera productions to theatrical plays and musical entertainments.

Karl von Marinelli established the theater in 1781 following Joseph II's decree ending the court's monopoly on entertainment through the Schauspielfreiheit declaration.

The venue became central to German-language performances in Vienna, with Kapellmeister Wenzel Müller and Ferdinand Kauer creating numerous musical works for its stage.

The theater operated until 1847 at the coordinates 48°12′54″N 16°23′04″E before being rebuilt and renamed as the Carltheater in Vienna's second district.

Ferdinand Raimund's collaboration with the theater in the 1820s resulted in productions that shaped the development of Viennese popular theater.
