Burgtheater. Vienna, Austria

Postcard ID: AT-225775
Country: Austria

Vienna is a very beautiful city. I was there in autumn 2010, my husband visited the city this winter. There are so many gorgeous old and new buildings.

The Burgtheater, originally known as K.K. Theater an der Burg, then until 1918 as the K.K. Hofburgtheater, is the Austrian National Theatre in Vienna and one of the most important German language theatres in the world.  The Burgtheater was created in 1741 and has become known as "die Burg" by the Viennese population; its theatre company of more or less regular members has created a traditional style and speech typical of Burgtheater performances.

Also this postcard contains a stamps issued for Eurovision song contest that was held in Viena this year (stamp is really beautiful, but faded after scanning):
