The venue
A place with history
Experience an open-air spectacle on one of the city’s best-known squares. Vienna’s Heumarkt impresses not only with its central location in the 3rd district – its historical significance, its lively food scene and its good connections to many sights also make it something very special. In winter people go ice skating here; in summer the site is transformed into the opera arena – with the side façade of the Vienna Konzerthaus as an atmospheric backdrop to the stage.
