The Burgtheater (German: [ˈbʊʁk.teˌaːtɐ]; literally: "Castle Theater" but alternatively translated as "(Imperial) Court Theater", originally known as K.K. Theater an der Burg, then until 1918 as the K.K. Hofburgtheater, is the national theater of Austria in Vienna. It is the most important German-language theater and one of the most important theatres in the world.[1] The Burgtheater was opened in 1741 and has become known as die Burg by the Viennese population;[1] its theater company has created a traditional style and speech typical of Burgtheater performances.
