Musicals in Vienna 2025/2026

Musicals have always enjoyed great popularity and are a permanent fixture in the "City of Music".

Every year, Vienna's best-known musical theatres, the Ronacher and Raimund Theater, thrill audiences with brilliant international musical hits as well as their own productions. The Vereinigte Bühnen Wiens (VBW) offer their guests an unforgettable show with a great live orchestra and often amazing special effects. This year, too, the current productions will make the hearts of many musical fans beat faster.

But the Wiener Stadthalle also offers new productions on the programme this year that will thrill. 

Experience the latest VBW production, MARIA THERESIA – THE MUSICAL, now at the Ronacher. This epic work tells the fascinating story and legacy of one of the most influential monarchs of the 18th century – a vivid portrait of power, passion, and historical change. The opulent musical combines monumental drama with modern sound, pulsating beats with haunting lyrics. Timeless history meets contemporary staging to create a thrilling stage experience full of energy and surprises. With this spectacular production, we are making a powerful statement and creating a monument to the legendary ruler – young, dynamic, and absolutely unmistakable: in a world dominated by men, a young woman rises up, unwilling to remain in the shadows. Maria Theresa, who has been passionate about politics since childhood and is ahead of her time in many ways, defies the patriarchal imperial family and develops impressive strength and grand visions. She fights against all odds and ultimately becomes the first woman to rise to the top of the state. With unwavering courage, she leads the country through turbulent times.
