Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Vienna right now.
Vienna learned long ago that a thriving arts scene is a boon to tourism, so it lends its support to everything from grand opera to intimate cabaret performances. As a result, artists from around the world have also settled in the city. That’s why in addition to waltzes you can enjoy such varied fare as Greek rembetiko and Turkish Sufi music. Anyone who knows a bit of German should attend a performance at such major theaters as the Burgtheater and the Theater in der Josefstadt. Ever since Tanzquartier took up residence in the MuseumsQuartier, aficionados of contemporary dance have been able to enjoy avant-garde performances.

Located in the Albertina, the Filmmuseum has one of the most ambitious and sophisticated schedules around, with a heavy focus on English-language films. It's stylish Filmbar serves drinks and snacks spills out onto the street. It's open until well past midnight and often hosts lectures and retrospectives, but note that it is closed in July.
This artsy theater features more alternative film options, with most movies shown in their original language with German subtitles. There are also special children's performances on the weekends. The cinema also has a lovely cafe offering wine, beer and light snacks.
