Four opera titans + one garden + zero intermission = pure vocal electricity.
The Vienna State Opera celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Second Austrian Republic in the Burggarten gardens and offers a preview of the 2025–2026 season. The programme features the prestigious voices of Elīna Garanča, Jonas Kaufmann and Benjamin Bernheim, among others, with the Opera Orchestra conducted by Bertrand de Billy.
