Stadttheater Klagenfurt is the city's principal performing arts venue, hosting a diverse program of opera, operetta, ballet, drama, and symphony concerts. The theater's historic building, dating from 1910, features an elegant neo-Baroque facade and a lavish interior with red velvet seats, gilded moldings, and a grand chandelier. The main auditorium seats around 800, offering an intimate atmosphere where every seat has good sightlines. The theater is home to the Klagenfurt Symphony Orchestra and regularly attracts international guest performers. Productions range from classic works by Mozart and Verdi to contemporary plays and avant-garde performances. The theater also offers behind-the-scenes tours that reveal the stage machinery, costume workshops, and dressing rooms. Before a show, visitors can enjoy a drink at the foyer bar, which retains its original Art Nouveau details. The theater's central location makes it a perfect evening outing, with many restaurants and cafes nearby.
