Book tickets: BALLETT: WOOLF WORKSVienna’s ballet company, the Vienna State Ballet, dances on the stage of the Vienna State Opera, sharing it with the opera through the September–June season. The company took its present form in 2005, when the ballets of the State Opera and the Volksoper were merged, and has carried the name Vienna State Ballet since 2010. Its repertoire runs from the great story ballets — Rudolf Nureyev’s Swan Lake has been danced here for decades — to new work by today’s leading choreographers.

Dates and “from” prices as currently listed; each event page shows the exact categories for its date. All prices include our service fee and may be above the original face value.
Ballet at the State Opera is booked exactly like opera: you choose a seating category — Parkett, a box, Balkon or Galerie — and we reserve the best available seats within it, two seats always together unless stated otherwise. For ballet, an elevated, central view matters more than for opera, because the patterns of the corps de ballet read best from above: the central Balkon and Galerie are favourites of regulars, and our seating guide walks through every level. Tickets are collected from our office directly opposite the opera house, on the day of the performance or one day prior, or sent as e-tickets where available.

The Vienna State Ballet performs on the stage of the Vienna State Opera, sharing it with the opera throughout the September–June season, and also dances at the Volksoper.
Ballet at the Vienna State Opera starts from around €34 with us this season, by seating category. All prices include our service fee and may be above the original face value; each event page shows the exact categories for that date.
The 2026/27 season on sale includes John Neumeier’s Nijinsky, John Cranko’s Onegin, Rudolf Nureyev’s Swan Lake, Wayne McGregor’s Woolf Works and two mixed programmes, Living Legacies and Visionary Dances.
Most full-length ballets run between two and two and three-quarter hours including intervals; mixed programmes are similar. The start time is shown on each event page.
The same as for the opera: there is no enforced dress code, smart casual is the norm and many guests dress up, especially for premieres.
ONE EVENT is an independent ticket agency. All tickets offered are genuine and valid, but we are not the official box office of the Vienna State Opera. Prices include our service fee and may be higher than the original face value.
