Municipal Theatre

Theatre with the flair of the big stage

The Wiener Neustadt Municipal Theatre, which first opened in 1794 and is therefore more than 230 years old, is housed in a former monastery building – the monastery’s former church, with its façade facing Herzog-Leopold-Straße, is now the Municipal Theatre. 

The architecture of the Stadttheater, which reopened in 2024 following a complete refurbishment, is a perfect blend of old and new. At the same time, the building has retained its historic charm. The so-called Great Hall seats around 560 people – the theatre thus remains one of the larger theatres in Austria. For smaller events, the Bösendorfer Salon is used, which is located on the first floor of the theatre and can seat around 40 people.

In 1793, Mozart’s Requiem was performed for the first time as a funeral mass in Wiener Neustadt – specifically at the Neukloster Church! It was commissioned by Count Walsegg of Stuppach near Gloggnitz.
