StadtTheater walfischgasse, Historic theatre in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria
StadtTheater walfischgasse is a theater venue in Vienna's inner city that hosts diverse stage productions. The building contains a main auditorium with approximately 270 seats and a smaller performance space called theaterCercle located in the foyer for more intimate shows.
The theater opened in 1959 as Neues Theater am Kärntnertor before being renamed in 2004. The change of name under director Anita Ammersfeld represented a shift toward its current focus on cabaret and political productions.
The theater specializes in cabaret and political satire that engages audiences with contemporary issues. These performances reflect Vienna's active theatrical culture and offer a space for artists to address social topics directly.
The venue is located at Walfischgasse 4 in central Vienna and is easily accessible on foot. Tickets can be purchased online or at the box office for performances.
From 2015 to 2020, the Vienna State Opera used this space to stage children's operas and special events. This temporary arrangement with one of Europe's most prestigious opera houses highlighted the venue's importance and quality.
