A new open-air arena on the banks of the Danube will fill a gap in dedicated summer public events by hosting classical Music and Opera concerts year round.

A new multipurpose hall for culture and sports events will further the city’s concern for the intellectual and physical needs of its population.

The historical Wien Museum will receive €100+ million for its renovation and expansion, designed by local architecture firms Certov Architects and Winkler + Ruck Architekten.

Two of the city’s largest theatres, the Volkstheater and Raimundtheater, will receive an architectural restoration and technological upgrade that will improve accessibility and strengthen the cultural agenda of both venues.

Vienna is one of Europe’s classical music capitals, having been home to Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, Mahler, Strauss, and Beethoven.
Cultural participation is the top policy driver for the city, which is committed to providing ‘low-threshold access’ for all its residents
As Vienna’s population continues to grow and people move out from its centre, leading institutions and key cultural players are extending their programming into decentralised areas of the city.
