About this event
The Vienna State Opera opens its season with a gala concert outdoors in the Burggarten, the old imperial garden behind the Hofburg. Orchestra and soloists from one of the world's most guarded opera houses, playing on the grass, for nothing. It is simulcast to the big screen on Rathausplatz from 20:15 for anyone who cannot get into the garden itself.
Why we picked it
A Staatsoper gala with no ticket price is the rarest thing on this list, and it doubles as the closing night of the Rathausplatz film festival season.
Free entry
wien.info states "Free admission!". Burggarten capacity is limited – arrive early, or watch the Rathausplatz simulcast.
