The Vienna Festival was established in 1951, when Vienna was still occupied by the four Allied powers. With a radical socio-political impact, the Vienna Festival | Free Republic of Vienna is Europe's most significant cross-over festival. The Vienna Festival features theatre, opera and dance from all parts of the globe, also acting as producers of international works. Each year, the Vienna Festival is launched with a free, public open-air event held in the square outside of Vienna's City Hall. The festival attracts about 100,000 visitors per year.
