Burgtheater Vienna – Schedule, Program & Tickets

Burgtheater

After the Comédie Francaise, the Burgtheater in Vienna is Europe’s second-oldest theatre. Today, the Burgtheater, originally known as the K. K. Hoftheater nächst der Burg, complete with its three affiliated venues – the Akademietheater, Kasino and Vestibül – and a permanent ensemble of more than 80 actors and actresses, is one of Europe’s largest theatres and plays a seminal role in the German-speaking theatrical world. Every season, the Burgtheater and its affiliated venues welcome approximately 400,000 theatre-goers to some 800 performances.

The Tsar has lost a war in Crimea and it is becoming clear that he will not be able to maintain his absolutist rule much longer. He still tries to make concessions and reforms, but the society that Dostoyevsky describes in his 1871 novel THE DEMONS is already largely disintegrating.
Such times are a grateful backdrop for comedy, because there are few things funnier than watching people trying to follow rules that have lost their meaning.

“The empty promises of progress were nothing but spit in the faces of martyrs of all generations. If time is just a form of perception, or a category of reason, then the past is as present as the present. Cain continues to murder Abel. Still Nebuchadnezzar slaughters Zedekiah's sons and gouges out Zedekiah's eyes. The Kesheniev pogrom never ends. Jews are constantly being burned in Auschwitz. Those who do not have the courage to end their existence have only one way out: to kill their consciousness, to paralyze their memory, to erase the last trace of hope.” (Isaac B. Singer)

The actor and musician Nils Strunk creates a joyful, musical reflection on the magic of the stage and the power of togetherness with author Lukas Schrenk, a three-piece band and the ensemble. Mozart and Schikaneder would have turned in their graves.
Following Klaus Mann's MEPHISTO, Bastian Kraft now brings a major work by his father Thomas to the stage of the Burgtheater with a concentrated cast.

Violence as a political tool is back in popularity. “Whoever prevents me from defending myself kills me as well as if he attacked me,” says Robespierre. “Where self-defense ends, murder begins,” says Danton. What should happen next with the French Revolution almost four years after the storming of the Bastille? Should it be transformed into a republic that gives people all the freedom to live their lives, be happy or starve? Or must the revolution continue as a dictatorship until social equality is finally achieved, even if the reign of terror still claims many lives by then?

The night begins when a father threatens to kill his daughter. This drives two lovers into the Athenian forest, where they are bewitched by gender-indecipherable elves, so that each loves another. Craftsmen are also out in the forest to rehearse a tragedy involving a lion that is not to be feared. And the royal couple of the elves quarrel over an Indian boy and cause the rivers to overflow their banks...

Herbert Fritsch approaches this community of the dead cautiously, full of tenderness. He doesn't want to talk about the dead anecdotally, but - who would have thought - funny.
