Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera)

The Wiener Staatsoper is one of the busiest opera houses in the world producing 50 to 60 operas per year in approximately 200 performances. It is quite common to find a different opera being produced each day of a week. As such, the Staatsoper employs over 1000 people!

More than 50 productions are staged every year, and there is a performance nearly every day for ten months of the year. Isn't that amazing?
