Built in 1884, by the architect Miklós Ybl on the plans of the Staatsoper of Vienna, it was the most modern European theatre of its time. For the first time in the world, the wooden stage machinery from the Baroque era was replaced by a metal system operated by hydraulic power.

The building was inaugurated in the presence of Franz Joseph with the works of Erkel. It has been directed by the greatest conductors such as Gustav Mahler and Arthur Nikisch, but also Massenet, Delibes or Puccini who came here to perform their operas.

In 1984, one hundred years after it first opened, the fully renovated State Opera House reopened its doors.

With a strong company, first-class operas and ballets are performed here.

Synopsis

Parsifal

Parsifal is an opera by Wagner. His most famous performances are Gatti Daniele 6 times and Nagano Kent 5 times. This work is often performed at the Wiener Staatsoper or Operaház.

Parsifal is an opera by Richard Wagner, dating from 1862, presented exclusively to King Ludwig II of Bavaria, then on the stage of Bayreuth the following summer. For the first twenty years of its existence, this opera was only performed on this stage, at the request of Wagner himself so that it would not become a simple entertainment show for the general public. Musically, this opera is composed for an orchestra of 107 woodwind, string, brass and percussion instruments as well as a choir of 135 choristers and 23 soloists.

The opera is inspired by the story of Perceval or the Tale of the Grail, a medieval novel by Chrétien de Troyes, and the medieval epic Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach. This opera tells the story of the title hero, raised by his mother Herzeleide, who is devoid of all knowledge of chivalry so that he does not suffer the same fate as his father, killed during a knightly quest. While walking in the forest, the hero meets a group of knights and, impressed by their attire, asks his mother for permission to follow them on an adventure.
