Carltheater, Historical theatre in Leopoldstadt district, Vienna, Austria

The theatre building featured a classical facade with architectural elements designed by August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll in 1847.

The Carltheater operated from 1847 to 1929 as a successor to the Leopoldstädter Theater until a bomb attack in 1944 destroyed the auditorium.

Between 1854 and 1860, director Johann Nepomuk Nestroy established the venue as a center for Viennese folk theater and operetta performances.

The theater contained 804 seats and maintained regular performances until financial difficulties led to decreased production quality in the early 1900s.

Gustav Mahler worked at the Carltheater as a chorus conductor during an Italian opera season in 1883 under manager Eugenio Merelli.
