Ronacher Theatre

Ronacher Theatre is at Seilerstätte 9 and dates to 1872. The original objective of the two was to build a theatre for a non- noble audience that was not affected by social and political censorship and that worked in direct competition to the Imperial Burgtheater and other stages of the "official" Austria. It was associated with a hotel and got not only electric light, but also a ball room, a conservatory and "promandes" where visitors could. Therefore, the Ronacher - after being re-Completed in historicist style in 1888 - was re-opened as a concert- and ball venue.
