WE ARE MUSICAL

Big musical festival to kick off the season at the Raimund Theater

Saturday, September 19, 12 PM – 5 pm

 

 

Just in time for the start of the season, the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien are hosting the big musical festival WE ARE MUSICAL in and around the Raimund Theater on 19 September 2026, from 12 noon to 5 pm!

 

Visitors can once again look forward to a varied afternoon at the historic musical theatre this year. Musical fans of all ages can expect a diverse programme – from fascinating glimpses behind the scenes and insights into the exciting day-to-day life of the VBW staff to a creative craft station for the youngest visitors, and much more besides.

 

As a very special highlight, excerpts from our latest production, Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, will be presented to the audience for the first time on the stage of the Raimund Theater on this day.

 

The full programme is yet to be announced.

Once again, free admission tickets will be available for individual events. Full details on how to book these tickets will be announced in late August/early September via the Musical Vienna newsletter, social media and here on our website.
