Wiener Staatsoper Opens Digital Archive

For the period of the temporary closure (3 to 30 November 2020 inclusive), the Vienna State Opera will offer video recordings from the digital archive as a stream free of charge.

The online program is largely based on the regular schedule. Two very current productions can already be seen this week: Dmitri Tcherniakov's Eugene Onegin, recorded last Saturday, and Cavalleria rusticana / Pagliacci , a recording of today's performance with Roberto Alagna in the role of Canio.

The streams are available free of charge in Austria and internationally on the play.wiener-staatsoper.at website. The start is always at 7 p.m., the broadcasts are available for 24 hours.
