Feel opera and ballet, touch them, do it yourself: In our participatory programs, children, teenagers and young adults have the opportunity to experience ballet and musical theater together with professionals from the Vienna State Opera, whether in the city space, at your district. Digitally or on site at the Vienna State Opera. The focus is on your creative ideas, topics that move you and your desire and courage to try something new. Our formats are aimed both at the curious who want to get to know the world of opera and ballet better, and at theater enthusiasts who can't get enough.
