THE OPERA QUIZ WITH GEORG NIGL
Useful and useless knowledge about...

As an enthusiastic opera lover, you naturally know in which city the highest opera house is located, what Callas' shoe size was, and whether there is a metro station under the Paris Opera. Or maybe not?

The opera quiz with Georg Nigl is not a tough exchange of blows, but a humorous and witty evening about the premieres at the Vienna State Opera and opera in general. The quiz candidates are made up of the stars currently singing at the State Opera, courageous guests from the audience and colleagues from the State Opera who are not necessarily known from the stages that supposedly mean the world. When does the stage manager start work, when does the make-up department open its doors? Quizmaster Georg Nigl wants to find out this and much more together with the audience, including star guests and show acts!
