  Tea Salon and Middle Box



The showpiece of the historical section is the Tea Salon (formerly the Emperor Salon), located between the celebratory stairwell and the Middle Box. The former Court box, as well as the Tea Salon were formerly reserved for use by the Court. The entrance to the Court box incidentally marks the border of the 1945 fire. The Tea Salon is still today not always accessible as it is used for production meetings, conferences, awards ceremonies, receptions and so on. The ceiling painting by Karl Madjera (Music on the eagle’s wings) with representations of lyric and tragic music on both sides, has retained its vibrant colours. The ceiling and walls are adorned with 22 carat gold leaf. Also of interest are the sculptures by August La Ligne, wall embroideries from the workshop Giani and tapestries featuring the initials of Franz Joseph I.
