Open air opera in the old city center!

Opera Summer 2025

Vienna’s proving once again it’s the opera capital—even when the weather’s too nice to stay inside. All summer long, the Opera Arena am Heumarkt turns into an open-air stage for big emotions, soaring arias, and a bit of alfresco drama.

On the bill? Puccini’s La Bohème in all its tragic, romantic glory, plus special Opera Gala Evenings serving up the greatest hits of the genre—arias and ensembles cherry-picked from the best of the best.

Perfect for date nights, showing off to visitors, or just living your best cultured summer life.
