The Burgtheater in Vienna is an Austrian federal theatre. It is considered one of the most important theatres in Europe and is the second oldest European theatre after the Comédie-Française as well as the largest German-language theatre. The old Burgtheater had been located on Michaelerplatz since 1748. In October 1888, the new building on today's Universitätsring (then Franzensring) was opened. After it was completely burnt out in 1945 due to bombing, the Ronacher served as an alternative venue until its reopening on 14 October 1955. The Burgtheater is considered the Austrian national theatre. Older names of the Burgtheater were k.k.. Theatre nächst der Burg and thereafter until 1918 k.k. Hof-Burgtheater. Especially in Vienna it is often called "Die Burg" for short, the ensemble members are known as "Burgschauspieler". According to the number of employees and budget, it is the "richest and largest repertory theatre in the world". The director of the Burgtheater since September 2019 is Martin Kušej.

Beautiful 18th century theatre rebuilt several times, most recently after being damaged in WWII. Home to some amazing premiers by Mozart and Beethoven. Very accessable and some very reasonably priced (before Covid). Two bars inside, great for drinks and snacks.

I was only able to look at it across the road in Rathasupark. The building looked quite nice and intricate but was not able to examine it closer or go inside.
