The Burgtheater honors artists who have made special contributions to the house on the Ring with an honorary membership.

Since 2010, all new honorary members also receive an Honorary Ring.

The design of the Honorary Ring comes from the Wagner Jewelry Atelier. The ring is crafted in 18-karat white gold. The center is adorned with a red carnelian, which shows the facade of the Burgtheater on the outside. The stage curtain is engraved on the inside of the gemstone. The auditorium is detailed on the inside of the ring band. The Burgtheater Honorary Ring is personalized with an engraved name.

Wearers of the Honorary Ring are: Karin Bergmann (Director of the Vienna Burgtheater), Klaus Maria Brandauer (Actor, Director), Annemarie Düringer (Chamber Actress, Doyenne of the Vienna Burgtheater until 2014), Michael Heltau (Chamber Actor, Doyen of the Vienna Burgtheater), Elisabeth Orth (Chamber Actress, Doyenne of the Vienna Burgtheater), Claus Peymann (Director of the Vienna Burgtheater 1986-1999), Peter Simonischek (Chamber Actor), Gert Voss (Chamber Actor).
