Oper in the Crypt

Oper in der Krypta is an intimate opera format staged in the crypt of Vienna’s St Peter’s Church. The organiser presents opera and operetta in concentrated versions alongside song recitals and classical programmes; children’s formats complement the season. Artistic direction rests with Dorothee Stanglmayr. Performances take place in close proximity to the audience, with the crypt as the fixed venue. Located deep beneath Vienna's St. Peter's Church, the atmospheric hall offers personal and unforgettable classical experiences. The crypt is pleasantly warm at any time of year. Regular 1+1 offers are available for selected dates. Repertoire and casts vary throughout the year, with continuous programming rather than fixed season dates.
