We want to see an opera in Vienna at the end of March. It seems there are several opera companies/houses to choose from. I am not accustomed to such amazing options! Any advice on which opera location/company we should consider over the others?

Since you've already been researching the Vienna Opera scene, I assume you're trying to decide between the Staatsoper and the Volksoper. Me, I'd pick the Staatsoper, it really is one of the premier opera venues in the world.

Yes, definitely the Staatsoper. When you think of opera on a grand scale, this is the place to see it. You can book here:
