Hello, Dolly

Hello, Dolly! at Volksoper Wien

With “Hello, Dolly!”, Volksoper Wien brings one of the greatest musical classics of all time to the stage. This world-famous musical by Jerry Herman and Michael Stewart delights audiences with wit, charm, romance, and unforgettable melodies, and remains one of the most successful works in the history of American musical theatre.

At the centre of the story is the quick-witted and lively Dolly Gallagher Levi, a matchmaker who firmly believes that love sometimes needs a little extra help. But while she is busy arranging the lives of others, she soon finds herself caught in a whirlwind of feelings, misunderstandings, and unexpected twists. The grumpy yet respectable Horace Vandergelder turns out to play a much bigger role in Dolly’s own plans than anyone might have expected.

With humour, warmth, and energy, the story unfolds into a delightful tale about love, second chances, and the question of what makes relationships truly work. Along the way, Vandergelder’s employees, his niece, and her rebellious boyfriend add even more chaos to the already complicated romantic entanglements.

With its legendary Broadway success and numerous awards, “Hello, Dolly!” is one of the all-time great musical hits. At Volksoper Wien, this beloved classic returns in a new production that combines timeless musical glamour with a fresh perspective on love, companionship, and happiness.

Performed in German with German and English surtitles, it promises a wonderful musical theatre experience for both local and international audiences.
