St Peter's Church Christmas and New Year Concert

About this experience

Book St Peter's Church Christmas and New Year concert tickets for a festive hour of classical music in one of Vienna's most beautiful Baroque churches. St Peter's Church (Peterskirche) stands just off the Graben in the heart of the Old Town, and its green copper dome, ceiling frescoes and gilded stucco make a glowing setting during the holiday season. The Classic Ensemble Vienna plays works by Vivaldi, Schubert, Beethoven, Haydn and Mozart, including favourites such as Eine kleine Nachtmusik. Concerts run on selected dates from early December to the first days of January, so you can enjoy them before Christmas, between the holidays or around New Year. What happens at the concert? You take your seat in the oval nave beneath the dome as the musicians of the Classic Ensemble Vienna take their places. Over about one hour, the ensemble moves through well loved pieces from the Baroque and Classical periods, from the bright energy of Vivaldi to the elegance of Haydn and Mozart and the drama of Beethoven. The programme can vary by date, so treat individual works as a guide. The rich acoustics of the church and the warm festive lighting make the music feel close and personal, and the short length leaves plenty of time for a Christmas market or dinner afterwards. Where is St Peter's Church? St Peter's Church is at Petersplatz, 1010 Vienna, a few steps from the Graben and about three minutes on foot from St Stephen's Cathedral. Stephansplatz station (U1, U3) is the closest stop. The present church dates from the early 18th century and was built on the site of a much older church, which legend says was founded by Charlemagne. Its interior is famous for the frescoes in the dome and the richly decorated altars, so arrive a little early to look around before the music begins. Seating, coat check and what the ticket includes Your ticket includes entry to St Peter's Church, the one hour concert and the coat check, which is useful on cold winter evenings. Choose Category I for the front section, Category II for the middle section or Category III for the back section of the church. Dinner, drinks and transport are not included. The church is wheelchair accessible. Video recording is not allowed during the performance, and smart clothing is recommended, so please avoid shorts. Show your mobile voucher with a valid photo ID when you arrive. Is this festive concert right for you? This concert suits families, couples and anyone who wants a short, festive dose of classical music in a central location. It is easy to combine with the Christmas markets at Am Hof, Freyung or the Rathausplatz, all within walking distance. If you would like another holiday concert, compare the Magic Trumpet Christmas Concert at St Anne's Church or the Schönbrunn Palace concert with an after hours tour. Outside the festive season, the same ensemble plays the year round Classic Ensemble Vienna concert. Book through VervTrip and your voucher arrives by email shortly after purchase.
