Originally devoted to the theatre of the spoken word, the Kaiserjubiläums Stadttheater became an opera theatre in 1903 under the name Volksoper (Opera of the people).

Some works rejected at the Hofoper by the board of censors were put on for the first time here, such as Tosca or Salomé.

It was also the venue for a great many performances which also launched a number of careers.

The Volksoper was used as a cinema during the Second World War, which avoided its being requisitioned by the army. It also lent its stage to the company of the Staatsoper until 1955.

Nowadays works from the great repertoire alternate with Viennese operettas and contemporary operas.
