Carltheater

It was in the suburbs in Leopoldstadt at Praterstraße 31 (at that time called Jägerzeile).

Two years later, the building was partially demolished and rebuilt following the plans of architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll, who would later design the Vienna State Opera.

In subsequent years, many well-known Viennese playwrights wrote pieces for the Carltheater and reinforced its reputation as the favoured opera house for Viennese folk-pieces and operettas.

After a rapid changeover of directors in the 20th century, the theatre became unprofitable, and was finally closed in 1929.

A few years ago there was a plaque in Praterstraße, marking the former location of the theatre, but this is gone too now.
