The Raimundtheater, located in Vienna’s 6th district Mariahilf, is known today primarily as a stage for top-class musicals. The theater was opened in 1893 with the magic play “Die gefesselte Phantasie” by Ferdinand Raimund, who gave the theater its name. Originally intended for classical folk plays and variety shows, the theater quickly developed into a popular operetta house. Some of these operettas, such as “Das Dreimäderlhaus” by Heinrich Berté, were so successful that they were performed for years – in this case over 1200 times between 1916 and 1927. Famous personalities such as Max Reinhardt, Adele Sandrock and Alexander Girardi left their mark on the Raimundtheater in the early years. Later, greats such as Karl Skraup, Attila Hörbiger, Johannes Heesters, Zarah Leander and Marika Rökk followed, making the theater a cultural hub. In recent decades, the Raimundtheater has made a name for itself primarily as a musical stage. Among the well-known productions that have been shown here are “Les Misérables”, “Phantom of the Opera”, “Dance of the Vampires”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “Mamma Mia!” and many more. The musical “Schikaneder”, which tells the story behind the “Magic Flute” based on the special marriage of Emanuel Schikaneder and his wife Eleonore, is currently thrilling audiences. From mid-September, the musical “I am from Austria” will be performed, which is about an internationally successful film star who returns to his homeland for the Vienna Opera Ball, accompanied by the unforgettable hits of Rainhard Fendrich.
