Editing Vienna State Opera (section)

===140th anniversary season===
2009 marked the 140th anniversary of the Vienna Opera House. To celebrate this milestone an idea designed to reach out and embrace a new audience was conceived. A giant 50 sqm screen was placed on the side of the opera house facing [[Kärntner Straße]]. In four months live broadcasts of over 60 famous operas were transmitted in this way, including performances of ''[[Madama Butterfly]]'', ''[[The Magic Flute]]'' and ''[[Don Giovanni]]''. This successful venture brought a new wave of operatic excitement to the many tourists and locals who experienced this cultural event. During daytime the screen displays a replica of the Opera House's façade, as it obstructs a considerable part of the building, along with information about upcoming performances.
