2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Vienna, Austria

Europe's largest contemporary dance festival takes place in venues large and small all over the city between mid-July and mid-August. In 2017, the festival venues were at nearly 100% capacity, with a record-breaking number of visitors; nearly 130,000 people packed into the halls, museums, and theaters to see some of the world's leading companies take the stage. Recent years have brought stars such as Alaine Platel, Jerome Bel, Mathilde Monnier, Anne Teresa De Keersmaker, and Marie Chouinard.

Although the well-known mid-May to mid-June Vienna Festival, the Wiener Festwochen, signals the end of the primary season, the rest of the summer music scene, from mid-July to mid-August, nowadays brims with activities, particularly in the Theater an der Wien.
