The Johann Strauss Theater in Wieden, part of Vienna, Austria, was built in 1908 especially for operettas.

The Johann Strauss Theater was built at Favoritenstraße [de] 8 in Wieden in 1908 when Viennese operetta was highly successful.

The architect Eduard Prandl [de] built a theatre dedicated to operetta for 1,200 spectators in Baroque Revival style.

The theatre faced financial problems due to the Great Depression in 1929 and the growing attraction of sound film.

Between 1948 and 1956, when the dirtict was under Soviet occupation, the hous was used for drama theatre in ambitious staging, such as with Karl Paryla and Therese Giehse in Brecht plays, but the Vienna press ignored them for political reasons.
