History of the Raimund Theater

The origin of the Raimund Theater goes back to 1890 when a group of Viennese men created a ‘popular theater club’ to cater to a wider audience. The theater was designed by the architect Franz Roth. Adam Muller Guttenbrunn was the first director, writer, and critic of this newly established theater and aimed to stage only classical folk plays.

Around the turn of the century, spoken theater struggled to bring in enough audience, which is when the Operetta moved to the Raimund Theater. Robert Stolz, a famous composer of those times was popular in the theater scene. His Premier of the Glucksmadel was performed in 1910. His The House of the Three Girls was based on themes by Franz Schubert and had been performed over 1200 times in the Raimund Theater. 

It was not until 1976 that the Raimund Theater started adding musicals to their repertoire. A Chorus Line was the first Broadway musical to be staged there from 1987 to 1988. The famous musical Elisabeth celebrated its premiere on 5th September 2012 on its 20th anniversary and was on the program until 2014. 

Architecture of the Raimund Theater

The Raimund Theater is an impressive example of Neo-Baroque architecture, characterized by an ornate facade and decorative elements. Ferdinand Feller and Hermann Helmer, influential in the 19th and 20th centuries were responsible for this theater’s construction. 

The grand facade at the entrance creates a sense of opulence and sets the stage for the musicals and orchestras within. The auditorium is adorned with intricate moldings, decorative motifs, and plush furnishings. Like many theaters of its time, the Raimund Theater includes balconies and boxes that provide tiered seating for spectators. The theater's ceiling often features decorative elements such as frescoes, paintings, or intricate moldings.

The architects, Fellner and Helmer, were known for their ability to create buildings that harmonized with their surroundings. The Neo-baroque style of the Raimund Theater reflects the broader architectural trends of its time, emphasizing a return to ornamental and decorative elements inspired by historical forms. 

Raimund Theater Popular Productions

The Raimund Theater in Vienna has hosted a variety of popular productions, ranging from classic operettas to contemporary musicals, namely Elisabeth, Mozart!, I Am From Austria!, REBECCA, The Phantom of the Opera, and more.
