Events calendar Vienna

It is one of the major artistic events in the Austrian capital. For five weeks, this high quality festival takes over the city's stages and Vienna takes on its cultural quarters. On the programme of this great festival, you have about forty theatre creations, happenings and others. The shows are presented in 175 performances and 70 concerts of great diversity. On stage: classical operas, performances, hip-hop choreographies, avant-garde theatre, readings, electro concerts...

As its name suggests, the traditional Osterklang, or Easter Sounds Festival, invites the faithful and others to attend beautiful services with the participation of great orchestras from Vienna and elsewhere. Sacred music concerts are also scheduled outside the church buildings, in the most beautiful halls of Vienna. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will of course be there.

It's Austria's national holiday with a military parade on the Ring. The atmosphere is much less exuberant than during the Rainbow Parade in June!

Among the hundreds of balls in Vienna, here are two contrasting ones: the very traditional Opera Ball is held according to the rules of the art, in black and white, in a historic building. It is one of the most famous and popular Viennese balls. Just across the street, another historic and prestigious building, the Auersperg Palace, hosts the eccentric and colourful Rose Ball, the ball of the LGBT community. In 2021, both balls were scheduled on the same day. Rejoicing!
