Wiener Festspiele 2026 - Rigoletto

Wiener Festspiele 2026 presents the opera Rigoletto at Grand Hotel Wien on Thursday, 20 August at 20:00. This is one of two Austrian dates for the production - the second takes place in autumn at Peterskirche Wien Krypta. Grand Hotel Wien, a five-star hotel on the Ringstraße opened in 1870, provides an elegant setting for Verdi's classic. For decades the hotel has attracted musicians and diplomats, with its ballrooms hosting world-class productions. The performance brings operatic tradition to a prestigious location in Vienna's heart.
