Burgtheater
The Burgtheater is the national theatre of Austria in Vienna, founded in 1741 by Maria Theresa beside the imperial palace and made a court and national theatre by Joseph II in 1776. It staged the plays of Franz Grillparzer, and in 1888 it moved to a new building on the Ringstrasse. It remains one of the leading German-language stages.
