I don't think I've ever seen such confused and confusing language in any Wikipedia piece. As of April 1 2022, this article is informative and interesting but disorganized. The most serious problem, though, is that it's almost unreadable & unintelligible in many places, probably due to translation problems. There are too many examples to list. And because it's often impossible to guess what the meaning is supposed to be, repairs will need to be undertaken by someone who is an expert in the subject, or in the original language (with access to the German text as it was when translated), or preferably both. (I do think the history of the building and its reconstruction after WW2, and the key roles played by both Mahler and Krips in its history, should be clarified but not cut or condensed. It would make sense to mention Mahler's 1897-1906 collaborations with Roller (designer) and others; their work, with its efforts to unify the whole experience of music, drama, lighting, color, etc, seems to have carried forward the revolutionary ideas of Wagner at Bayreuth, as well as anticipating the even more revolutionary ideas of Wagner's grandson in the reborn Bayreuth after WW2. Did that decade at the Vienna Opera exert a global influence? If so, it might be interesting to note an example or two. Mentioning a few other influential musicians in its history would not go amiss, if there were others worth mentioning. [end of new comment] 67.81.65.206 ( talk) 05:19, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Wow, this article says a lot about Mahler but little about all these other illustrious characters. It's going to take a group effort to fix this, I think. Dunkelweizen 13:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
That's a good idea; I can help with that. Dunkelweizen 12:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Far too much attention on the current and last season. This isn't a press release or 'recent opera history' archive. Instead it should focus on the subject matter. For example the orchestral body. How many players? How many performances every year? How is it organized? Etc. runenaljoss
User:Kleinzach: "world famous", "finest in the world" "prestigious" etc. are usually not objective statements, and are very ofeten found in self-promotion material. I am not saying that the Wiener Philharmoniker (and the staatsoper) is not one of the best orchestras - probably the best? - (and opera companies) , but this is not a neutral statement as it is judgement of value of the Orchestra (which probably doesn't even need it, but that's not the point). If you feel so strongly about making such a subjective statements, at least provide a reputable and verifiable source and idicate who and why think it is one of the best opera companies and the Wiener is prestigious. This is an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias should not include judgements and statements so subjective. I am marking them again as lacking sources until good sources are posted. I hope you agree.

Do other editors agree that this edit introduced a better image? It doesn't show the front entrance and with its cluttered foreground it's a lot worse than the previous image. If the previous image should be replaced, I'd prefer the lead image from the German Wikipedia article. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 12:58, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
I agree. MUSIKVEREIN ( talk) 13:38, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I work for Beckhoff Automation. In compliance with the COI guidelines, I suggest adding a section about the audio system of the Vienna State Opera, which was modernized by Beckhoff/Salzgeber in November 2020.
The sound system of the Vienna State Opera has been repeatedly supplemented and partially renewed since the 1950s. Since the 1980s, the system has been in operation largely unchanged, but ultimately could no longer keep up with the high demands placed on the acoustics. So in the 2010s, the decision was made to replace the entire sound system.
In November 2020, the new audio system was put into operation. The opera now uses a loudspeaker system from L-Acoustics, in particular the ARCS W/F series.
[1] The audio devices are connected to a central TCP/IP server via the SNMP interface (Simple Network Management Protocol). Control is implemented via TwinCAT 3.1 from Beckhoff Automation.
[2]
Salzgeber developed a new control station for the audio and video system in the control room.
[2] Instead of hard-wired units, the company now relied on standardized 19-inch rack elements. This resulted in modules that can be flexibly combined. Today, the control room of the opera consists of only three types of cable for access, outgoing and network. The energy control is realized with an industrial PC and EtherCAT coupling as well as the associated bus terminals.
In total, the PA system has six remote-controlled outlet arrays whose connections can be dynamically switched and monitored. All critical components of the system are duplicated. The three phases of the mains supply are equipped with separate residual current or circuit breakers, which further facilitates fault detection.
Thanks for considering this edit. -- 94.31.87.165 ( talk) 10:31, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
