Theater in der Josefstadt

Theater in der Josefstadt, Theatre in Josefstadt, Vienna, Austria

Theater in der Josefstadt is a neoclassical building with seating arranged across three floors in a traditional box theater layout. The interior features red and gold decorative elements throughout the performance space.

The building opened in 1788 and took its name from a nearby tavern. Architect Joseph Kornhäusel carried out significant renovations in 1822 that shaped the structure visitors see today.

The theater presents classical and modern drama performances that draw audiences from across Vienna. These productions have shaped the cultural life of the neighborhood for generations.

The theater is located in Vienna's 8th district and easily accessible by public transport. Visitors can arrange tours on-site or stop by the box office to learn about current productions.

The yellow façade echoes the nearby Schönbrunn Palace, creating a visual link between the theater and the royal residence. This design choice is often overlooked despite being immediately visible when approaching the building.
