Three venues each with a rich history, and one common conviction: that music theatre must be an enriching experience. Enriching for the audience with its very special expectations. Enriching for regional and nationwide business. And enriching for the cultural identity of Vienna and its message to the outside world. Specifically over the past years, the celebrated productions staged by the VBW have attained a profile that extends beyond the Austrian borders. In addition to excellent material and inspired artists, this primarily requires inventiveness and courageous specialisation. VEREINIGTE BÜHNEN WIEN GmbH operates worldwide as a European player. The combination of the clear programme positioning of the three historic venues and their active production activities makes the VBW an attractive cultural provider for an audience of music enthusiasts both in Austria and abroad. Cost-effective thoughts and actions and a flexible response to ongoing developments are the strategic pillars of the VBW management.
