Max And Moritz

VenueVolksoper Vienna
CalendarTue 22 Dec 2026 - Thu 21 Jan 2027
Synopsis/Details

“That was the first trick, followed by the second one quick…“

These words from Wilhelm Busch’s Max und Moritz have become an enduring part of German vocabulary and are typical of this work about the two rascals. Who hasn’t heard of them? Max and Moritz, the pair who get up to all sorts of shenanigans, annoying not only Widow Bolte and Teacher Lämpel, but turning the whole village upside down.  

In this amusing and charming ballet version by Ferenc Barbay and Michael Kropf to music by Gioachino Rossini, young and adult audiences alike can immerse themselves in the world of Max and Moritz and their seven naughty tricks: a comic ballet like browsing through an animated and moving comic book.

The Volksoper is Vienna’s main stage for operetta, opera, musicals and ballet, offering sophisticated musical entertainment. Colourful, eclectic and full of vitality, it is the only theatre dedicated to the genre of operetta.

Operetta belongs to Vienna and Vienna installed it at the home of operetta, Volksopera Vienna, which thereupon became the leading operetta house in the world. First class singers, actors and dancers together with a versatile orchestra cunjure up a musical firework display every evening.

Johann Strauss, Franz Lehár, Emmerich Kálmán wrote their world famous beloved melodies for operettas such as “The Fledermaus”, “The Merry Widow” and “The Csárdás Princess”. A visit to at least one of these operettas at the Volksopera Vienna is a must for every visitor to Vienna!

Also performed are operas from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, as well as classic musicals and ballet. In addition, the Volksoper has a fifth longstanding and proven speciality: it stages soirées, cabaret and burlesque performances under the name of “Volksoper Spezial”.

In the repertory theatre, which seats 1,337 persons, some 300 performances of around 35 different productions are staged every year between September and June.
