Die Sieben Todsünden | Gianni Schicchi

VenueVolksoper Vienna
CalendarWed 03 Mar 2027 - Tue 18 May 2027
Synopsis/Details

The Seven Deadly Sins: Two sisters are sent by their family on a journey across the United States to earn money for a house. Their task becomes a test: the money must be earned by avoiding the seven deadly sins. 

Gianni Schicchi: After the death of the wealthy Buoso Donati, his greedy relatives gather in Florence. When they learn he left his fortune to a monastery, they call the cunning Gianni Schicchi. Disguised as the deceased, he dictates a new will and promptly transfers the most valuable part of the inheritance—Buoso’s house—to himself.

Though musically and historically distinct, The Seven Deadly Sins and Gianni Schicchi share a sharp satirical view of bourgeois morality and greed. While Puccini lets a clever fraudster triumph, Brecht and Weill show moral virtue leading to ruin. Both works shine as vibrant musical theatre pieces and, together, reveal human failure as the essence of comedy.

Ballet chanté by Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht / Opera by Giacomo Puccini

The Volksoper is Vienna’s main stage for operetta, opera, musicals and ballet, offering sophisticated musical entertainment. Colourful, eclectic and full of vitality, it is the only theatre dedicated to the genre of operetta.

Operetta belongs to Vienna and Vienna installed it at the home of operetta, Volksopera Vienna, which thereupon became the leading operetta house in the world. First class singers, actors and dancers together with a versatile orchestra cunjure up a musical firework display every evening.

Johann Strauss, Franz Lehár, Emmerich Kálmán wrote their world famous beloved melodies for operettas such as “The Fledermaus”, “The Merry Widow” and “The Csárdás Princess”. A visit to at least one of these operettas at the Volksopera Vienna is a must for every visitor to Vienna!

Also performed are operas from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, as well as classic musicals and ballet. In addition, the Volksoper has a fifth longstanding and proven speciality: it stages soirées, cabaret and burlesque performances under the name of “Volksoper Spezial”.

In the repertory theatre, which seats 1,337 persons, some 300 performances of around 35 different productions are staged every year between September and June.
