Theater in der Josefstadt

Die Josefstadt

Opened in 1776, this is the oldest continually-operating theater in Vienna. At its reopening following a remodeling in 1822 Beethoven directed his commissioned piece Die Weihe des Hauses (The Consecration of the House). Since 1858, it has focused exclusively on theater, and music is no longer performed here. Famous cast members have included Johann Nestroy, Otto Schenk, and Klaus Maria Brandenauer.
