Theater auf der Wieden, Opera house in Wieden district, Vienna, Austria

The three-story theater featured a divided ground level and two balconies, with twenty private boxes offering different viewing perspectives of the stage.

The theater operated from 1787 to 1801, directed by Emanuel Schikaneder, who collaborated with Mozart to create and premiere The Magic Flute in 1791.

The venue presented 350 theatrical works during its short existence, establishing itself as a center for German-language opera productions in late 18th century Vienna.

The theater stood at the intersection of modern Operngasse between buildings 23 and 32, near the northern edge of the Wiedner suburb.

The Freihaus complex, where the theater was located, received special tax exemption status through an Imperial decree from 1647.
