This shrine to Viennese high culture covers the last 50 years of the Staatsoper. It relies mostly on photographs to take you through highlights like Karajan’s eight-year reign as director. Opera lovers will enjoy being surrounded by the portraits of operatic greats; others with a passing interest will like the occasional gem, such as Dame Margot Fonteyn’s stub-toed ballet slipper.
A visit to this museum is best combined with a tour of the Staatsoper. Tours are available in German, English, French and Italian.
