Wiener Volksopernorchester

Austrian Folk Opera Orchestra

The Wiener Volksopernorchester, also known as the Vienna Volksoper Orchestra, is an Austrian orchestra associated with the Vienna Volksoper (Vienna People's Opera), which is the city's major house for operetta, opera, musicals, and ballet. The orchestra plays a central role in the musical productions of the Volksoper, which is known for its diverse repertoire. The Vienna Volksoper was founded in 1898 and has since become an integral part of Vienna's rich musical tradition. While the Wiener Volksopernorchester is primarily engaged in providing the musical accompaniment for stage performances at the Volksoper, they have also made recordings over the years. The orchestra is composed of highly skilled musicians who are adept at performing a wide range of musical styles, from classical operettas to contemporary works. They contribute to Vienna's reputation as a world capital of music through their performances both at home and potentially on international tours.
