The Theater an der Wien – renamed MusikTheater an der Wien by the new director – has been completely renovated. By autumn 2024, the structural substance and services of the building must be completely improved and the front and rear buildings must be renovated.
The costs are estimated at a total of € 60.05 million. Of these, 39 million euros come from the budget of the City of Vienna. For the rest, Wien Holding grants a loan to the United Theaters in Vienna. Built in 1801 by Emanuel Schikaneder, the Theater an der Wien was last renovated from the ground up in 1962. Since then there have been partial renovations and repairs especially in times when there are no games.
