A Night in Venice

A Night in Venice – Volksoper Vienna

Operetta by Johann Strauss – a masquerade full of charm and intrigue

Immerse yourself in the sparkling world of Johann Strauss’s “A Night in Venice”, composed in 1883. Inspired by Vienna's enthusiasm for the Serenissima, this lively operetta tells the story of the pleasure-seeking Duke of Urbino, who plans to make new conquests during the Venetian Carnival. His target is Barbara, the wife of Senator Delaqua – but with masks, plots, and misunderstandings, soon the Duke finds himself facing not one, but two Barbaras!

Directed by Nina Spijkers, who already impressed with “The Merry Wives of Windsor” at the Volksoper Vienna, this production explores the work’s escapist and hedonistic potential with wit and vibrancy.

Enjoy a night full of glittering masks, lively melodies, and seductive confusion – accompanied by German and English surtitles for an unforgettable operetta experience.
