November 11 at 7:30pm

Anna Netrebko

Anna Netrebko

December 2 at 7:30pm

Wiener Konzerthaus · Landstraße • 60-209 €

Anna Netrebko steps into one of opera's most psychologically gripping roles: Judith in Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle, a one-act descent into secrets and shadows. Liszt's glittering Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and First Piano Concerto light up the first half.

Winterreise

Winterreise

December 9 at 8pm

Rabenhof · Landstraße • 30 €

Schubert's Winterreise gets a radical makeover from Austrian music scene talents Clara Frühstück and Oliver Welter. A haunting contemporary spin built to win over even the classical-averse.

The Tiger Lillies 'Songs of the Dead'

The Tiger Lillies 'Songs of the Dead'

December 12 at 8:30pm

Club Porgy & Bess · Innere Stadt • $$

The Tiger Lillies call it "death oompah": a wicked brew of cabaret, punk, and opera sung in Martyn Jacques' unearthly falsetto over accordion, musical saw, and theremin. Macabre, hilarious, and weirdly beautiful.

Frequently asked questions

How are these operas in Vienna chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
