Musical Meets Opera 11

The finest musical theater crossover at the Ronacher

The Vereinigte Bühnen Wien (VBW) will present the eleventh edition of MUSICAL MEETS OPERA together with the friends of the Vienna State Opera on April 28, 2019. The popular event for music theater enthusiasts celebrates the wonderful language of the music of musical and opera, thus underlining its universality.
The stars of the current VBW hit show BODYGUARD meet stars on the opera stage.

Great pieces of music from BODYGUARD - DAS MUSICAL meet arias and duets of important, related operas, and are cleverly and amusingly interwoven. Between the musical performances, the moderations and discussions with everyone involved provide an informative and entertaining insight into the world of opera and musical stars. Thomas Denmark, General Secretary of the Friends of the Vienna State Opera, is responsible for the idea and concept and leads through the matinee in a tried and tested manner.

VBW musical director Christian Struppeck: “Music connects generations and cultures. True to this motto, MUSICAL MEETS OPERA will take place for the eleventh time in cooperation with the friends of the Vienna State Opera, here at the Ronacher. Let us enjoy a musical theater program together that brilliantly combines the best of both worlds! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Thomas Denmark, initiator of this already traditional event, and I wish all of us an entertaining matinee! ”
