We are traveling to Vienna as part of a cruise. I would love to see an Opera while I am there. I would have to be back at the boat by 11ish? Is this possible? Any recommendations?

Depends on the opera. Some are 2 1/2 hours. Others, like Wagner can be 5 hours with intermissions. Look at what is showing on your travel dates.

Details will show start time and run time.
We'll be there on a river cruise, and wanted to see an opera, so we opted for the cruise opera excursion. We'll pay more, but it will include transportation to/from the boat, and we know for sure we won't miss the boat. Something to consider.
We are traveling on Viking and they don’t offer an Opera excursion unfortunately.
I think it depends on the exact date that you will be in Vienna. I hope it works out for you. I would suggest that you spring for the best available seats you can afford.
Thank you!
Can you share the date that you plan to do this?
