About the Event

Opera — the only genre where dying is a stage duty. Love, suffering & corpse — the classical triad — after the high C comes the last breath.
Together with Sergio Tallo‐Torres, Katharina Jing An Gebauer humorously guides and sings her way through the dying of the most popular opera roles. A great, macabre pleasure for opera fans and those who want to become one.
Established as Austria's smallest opera theater, the performances at the KRYPTA impress with their directness, high quality and unusual venue. Located deep beneath Vienna's St. Peter's Church, the intimate hall offers a personal experience that lingers for a long time.
The KRYPTA is pleasantly tempered at any time of year.
