Amadeus Concert at Künstlerhaus Vienna with Prosecco

About this experience

Book Amadeus Concert tickets for an hour of Viennese classics in the Salon Karlsplatz, a small concert room inside the Künstlerhaus on Karlsplatz. A five-piece ensemble plays waltzes, polkas and well-known works by Mozart, Strauss and other composers of the Viennese tradition, and every ticket includes a glass of prosecco. It is an easy evening plan in central Vienna: the concert starts at 7 pm, runs for about 60 minutes with no interval, and leaves plenty of time for dinner afterwards. Where is the Amadeus Concert in Vienna? The concert takes place in the Salon Karlsplatz at the Künstlerhaus, Karlsplatz 5, 1010 Vienna. The Künstlerhaus was built between 1865 and 1868 as the home of Vienna's artists' association, and the salon inside has parquet floors, panelled walls, portraits under a gilded ceiling and a grand piano. With about eighty seats, it is a room where you hear every instrument up close rather than from the back of a large hall. Amadeus Concerts used to play at the Ehrbar Salon in Mühlgasse. The concerts now take place at the Künstlerhaus, so ignore older directions to Mühlgasse 30 and head to Karlsplatz instead. The U1, U2 and U4 underground lines all stop at Karlsplatz, right by the building, and the Musikverein and Karlskirche are a few minutes' walk away. What will you hear at the Amadeus Concert? The ensemble usually brings together violin, cello, double bass, piano and a soprano. The programme mixes Viennese waltzes and polkas with classical highlights by composers such as Johann Strauss, Mozart, Brahms, Vivaldi and Beethoven. The exact running order changes from date to date and is announced from the front of the room. Between pieces, a short introduction, usually in English, explains what you are about to hear and the stories behind the music. The talks are brief, so the hour is mostly music. The hall is air-conditioned, which makes it a comfortable choice on warm summer evenings too. Which Amadeus Concert ticket should you choose? There are two seating categories. Premium tickets are in rows 1 to 3, closest to the musicians. Standard tickets are in rows 4 to 7. In a room this size every seat is close to the stage, so Standard works well for most visitors, while Premium suits anyone who wants to watch the players' hands and faces. Child tickets are also available at booking. Prices vary by date and category and are shown in the booking calendar. Plan your evening at the Künstlerhaus Doors open 30 minutes before the concert. Aim to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so your ticket can be checked and you can be shown to your row before the music starts. Smart casual clothes are fine; there is no strict dress code. Parking around Karlsplatz is limited and mostly short stay, so public transport is the easiest way to arrive. If you want more live music while you are in Vienna, compare this hour in a salon with a candlelit church setting at the Karlskirche Vivaldi Four Seasons concert, just across the square, or a full orchestra at the Musikverein Vivaldi and Mozart concert. For a museum and concert in one evening, see the Haus der Musik Viennese Classical Masters concert.
