We were in Vienna and walked past the Opera House. I love opera and lo and behold, an opera was starting in 30 minutes. The four of us decided to see if we could get tickets and amazingly to me tickets were pretty easy to come by for standing room. Ticket prices are heavily subsidized, a practice initiated by Emperor Franz Joseph I. We were able to pickup the tickets for around $5 US, more than reasonable. Be careful ordering a box seat; one in the back of the box is $12, one in the front $240. New devices at each seat provide subtitles in English and five other languages. In 1861 construction of The Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera) was started. It was the first monumental building of artistic importance on the Ringstrase. The building was finished in 1869, but it was severely criticized, people spoke of a "sunken box. On March 12, 1945, during World War II the stage was destroyed by bombs and the building gutted by fire. The foyer, vestibule and the tea room were spared, but almost the entire decor, properties and equipment for more than 120 operas with around 150,000 costumes were destroyed. After the war reconstruction of the State Opera was started in 1948 and completed in 1955 with a seating capacity for accommodate 2,209 people 1,642 seats and standing room for 567.
